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

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!

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...
