Welcome to New Leash on Life USA
Where fresh starts begin
New Leash on Life USA is a Pennsylvania 501(c) (3) non-profit that leverages the powerful bond between humans and dogs to restore hope and healing to transform lives.
Who we are
The powerful bond between people and dogs has been changing lives for over 30,000 years. New Leash on Life USA leverages this timeless connection to offer an innovative program model that rescues at-risk dogs and pairs them with justice-involved individuals to create fresh starts.
For our justice-involved participants, we provide tools and strategies for changing negative patterns, increase meaningful employment opportunities, and support individuals to succeed as responsible returning citizens.
For our at-risk rescue dogs, we equip them with extensive training, led by our justice-involved handlers, and adopt them into loving homes.
Adopting from New Leash isn’t just about finding your perfect companion; it’s about making a real difference. Every adoption helps your local animal shelter free up space for other at-risk dogs while supporting your community in a meaningful way.
Each dog is spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped and has participated in a 24/7 training program at a local Philadelphia region prison, giving you a companion with good foundations that’s healthy and ready to love from day one. By adopting you’re gaining a loyal friend and helping transform lives, both canine and human.
My dog Dipper makes me feel like I can breathe when I am suffocating.
