Helping Paws is a
volunteer-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to
further the independence of people with physical
disabilities (other than blindness or deafness) through the
use of service dogs.
Helping Paws
service dogs promote self-sufficiency and empower people
with physical disabilities. The dogs are not just
companions; they are hardworking partners that allow
many of our graduates to live more free, unconstrained
lives both at home and in public. The dogs not
only help with daily living tasks but also give added
confidence and renewed self-esteem. The friendship
and companionship of a Helping Paws service dog is priceless.
News:
On July 1, Sheba, one of our breeding dogs, gave birth to five labrador retriever puppies—two females and three males.
These puppies will be placed with their foster families around September 1 to start their service dog training.
Helping Paws is in the process of developing a new web site. Check back soon for updates!
