Programs
The support Pawz4Heroes provides.
Pawz4Heroes primarily provides professionally trained dogs. Depending on the need, support may include service dog placement, canine-assisted support for therapy groups, handler education, and ongoing guidance.
Areas of support
Ways Pawz4Heroes supports the people it serves.
Pawz4Heroes is primarily a service dog program and is not a general emotional support animal program. Eligibility and the right type of support are determined case by case, based on need, dog availability, and program capacity.
Canine support for therapy groups
Trained dogs used in structured therapeutic or rehabilitative settings to support therapy groups and organizations.
Handler education and ongoing guidance
Education for handlers and ongoing guidance to help support the long-term success of service dog teams.
How it starts
The first step is a simple pre-screening inquiry.
Pre-screening helps Pawz4Heroes understand your situation at a high level. It is not a full application, approval, or placement decision, and it does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
