Bridging the gap between heroes and healing—one service dog at a time.
At Pawz4Heroes, we believe that no hero should walk alone. We provide professionally trained service dogs at no cost to wounded Israeli and American military veterans, civilians affected by terrorism, and therapy groups in need of canine support. Our mission is simple—to heal, empower, and restore independence through the unwavering loyalty of a service dog.
Shay Maimoni, a dog trainer and former IDF serviceman, founded Pawz 4 Heroes, a nonprofit that rescues U.S. shelter dogs, trains them as service animals, and pairs them with Israeli veterans. The initiative is supported by his U.S. and Israeli dog training businesses.
