4 Paws for Ability Assistance Dogs
Do you know of a disabled person who needs a service dog? 4 Paws
for Abilities has few restrictions for acceptance and works with
most families within the boundaries of our organization's ability
to train and place the type of dog needed. We says "yes" when
many more traditional assistance dog placement agencies say "no."
Our founder is alive today because
of a service dog. She's devoted her life to making the same
kind of help available to other disabled children and adults.
Please help us continue to build our meaningful, rewarding work.
Your help will be a life-changing act
for a child, a family, a dog, and for you (it's more than a project!).

An Almost Perfect Trip to the Grocery Store
 August 9, 2008. From Sue Byczko. Today I was so proud of my dynamic duo! We needed to take a trip to the grocery store and pick up a few things. The grocery store trip is always dreaded. In the past it's always been a place of tears, strange looks from people, and ultimately meltdowns. Today, however, was amazing! Read more about how little Adam Byczko functions now that he has a multipurpose service dog from 4 Paws for Ability...

"I was
always afraid to join a support
group, I thought all I would ever hear
was parents complain about their
special needs child, or why did God let
this happen to them. This
group has
blown me away with their love, friend-
ship, faith, and zest for life..." |

Mission and Goals |

 |
| How do
you decide who gets a dog? We believe service dogs should
be made available to anyone with a disability who wishes to
have the love, companionship, and independence
that are the result of a service dog placement... |

We not only
serve the needs of children with disabilities, but we strive
to reduce the number of unwanted animals who would otherwise
be destroyed by obtaining the majority
of our animals from shelters and rescue groups... |
