Sponsor a Litter
Blue Coat Benefactors help support the care and training of litters of puppies. We keep you updated on the progress of each puppy in the litter, as they journey through training classes and up to the match with their lifelong partners. Blue Coat Benefactors are a true gift to those we serve, as they offer us the opportunity to match as many dogs as possible. Sponsorship levels begin at $250 and continue as much as the sponsor wishes to offer.

Corbett Laubignat Emergency Veterinary Fund
Support Helping Paws graduates who need financial assistance to care for their service dogs. Many who have physical disabilities are on fixed incomes and face severe financial stress when their service dog needs emergency or extraordinary care. This fund is named after Corbett, a Helping Paws graduate and board member. Corbett was always there to help anyone who needed it and was an advocate for individuals with disabilities. Her family wanted a way for Corbett’s legacy to continue to help even after passing.
Employee Giving
Many companies participate in an annual giving campaign that permits employees to designate deductions to charities from their weekly or monthly payroll. This simple and meaningful way to donate allows consistent giving through a variety of platforms.
For more information, please email Alyssa Golob, Executive Director.
