Online Store

Another way to help 4 Paws is to buy products from the store. Actually, you don't "buy," you donate to this tax-exempt organization.

The Animals Have Healed Me, a book by Karen Shirk

This is a book you just can’t pass up. A journal of poetry bearing witness to the healing powers of the animals in our lives and the incredible will to live when all the cards are stacked against us.

If you have the love of an animal in your life, this is a book you don’t want to miss. Karen Shirk, the author and founder of 4 Paws For Ability has made this incredible collection of poetry available exclusively to 4 Paws For Ability. All profits go toward the training of dogs for people with limited funds.

In addition, you will meet some of the wonderful service dogs trained and placed through 4 Paws and you will also meet some of the German Shepherd rescues that 4 Paws GSD Rescue have saved and placed in loving forever homes! Make a tax exempt donation of $13.00 or more and receive an autographed copy. To learn more about this book by Karen Shirk, click here.

Just Give!

You may not want to sponsor a dog, a bathroom, or the children's play area. Specifically. You may just understand that all tax-free non-specified donations go where they will do the most good, and that this is the way you choose to help. You may want to be a volunteer.

But whatever you do, be assured, you will touch the lives of children with disabilities, their families, and dogs...Thank you so much for donating!
