Blue Coat Circle

A Community Supporting Helping Paws

The Blue Coat Circle is our new donor appreciation program that allows us to express our deep gratitude for your support while highlighting the impact of our Assistance Dogs. This new program is designed to showcase how your donations fund our entire program: from breeding to foster home training to graduate placement and follow up care.

Breeding, training and matching an Assistance Dog takes about 2½ years, requires thousands of volunteer hours and an investment of about $30,000. By being a donor, you directly support Helping Paws Assistance Dogs, who ultimately bring improved quality of life, companionship and peace of mind to those in need. This includes:

  • Training 175+ volunteers who donate 95,000 hours each year
  • Emergency veterinarian bills and other expenses associated with the dogs
  • Lifetime of support to our graduate partnerships
