Pets Helping People (PHP) works with female felons who are either in transition from prison or are in drug court and avoiding prison. We provide training to prepare them for a career in the pet grooming industry.

The Pets Helping People Program provides a path for re-entry into society for anyone desiring to work hard and to be self-sustaining. The growing dog grooming industry offers a solid career path for individuals with felonies and criminal backgrounds. Each class rotation consists of 4-6 trainees working and studying for 40 hours per week for four months. Our organization is recognized as having completed the Standards for Excellence course by the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits. Our certification is valid from 2025-2030, and we can be found on the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits graduate page.
