News Kim Imel held back tears as Spencer, a 1-year-old dachshund mix, sniffed around his new home and played with his companions. The dachshund was in prison – literally. But Imel, a licensed veterinarian technician with SpokAnimal, wouldn’t have it any other way. “This is more outgoing, more sociability, more playfulness, than I’ve ever seen,” Imel said. “This is exactly where he needs to be.” Spencer and Wrigley, a 1-year-old pug mix, arrived at Airway Heights Corrections Center on Thursday as part of the new Pawsitive Dog Training Program, which pairs inmates with dogs in need of better socialization and training to be adoptable.
