The FETCH Project

Welcome to The FETCH Project. FETCH provides opportunities for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated adults by working with various employers within our community. We are a registered 501(c)(3) committed to serving our community from the inside out, breaking down barriers and building bridges between graduates of our program and society at large. The most powerful thing about our organization is that we started in a correctional facility. Almost all of our founding members have been impacted by incarceration and have been given a voice to make the world a better place. As an organization, we not only serve the people that come through our program but we work with shelter dogs and our rescue community to provide training and behavior rehabilitation services. Additionally, we provide a variety of training opportunities for people and their dogs. Please feel free to get in touch at any point! We’re happy to speak with you about our programs, discuss possible partnerships, and learn more about how we can help you and your dogs.

Meet The Amazing FETCH Team!


Once an individual is accepted into our program, they are considered a dog training apprentice and work under a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. All apprenticeships start with an 8-week lecture series on advanced canine behavior, working with clients in a helping profession, and essential business practices. Apprentices then complete a 12-week hands-on mentorship applying the skills learned in class. While our trainers work with us during their incarceration, they are actively working on writing behavioral case studies, teaching classes, and producing content for our YouTube channel. Our goal is to prepare successful graduates of our program for work in the dog training and animal care industry,  as they are often seeking employment with one of our community partners. We are also in the process of creating opportunities for graduates of our program to continue working for The FETCH Project upon release.
