Helping Paws is a
volunteer-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to
further the independence of people with physical
disabilities (other than blindness or deafness) through the
use of service dogs.
Helping Paws
service dogs promote self-sufficiency and empower people
with physical disabilities. The dogs are not just
companions; they are hardworking partners that allow
many of our graduates to live more free, unconstrained
lives both at home and in public. The dogs not
only help with daily living tasks but also give added
confidence and renewed self-esteem. The friendship
and companionship of a Helping Paws service dog is priceless.
News:
Five individuals will receive service dogs this spring. Dogs being placed are Dozer, Laker, Rocky, Thor, and Titus. These new teams will start training together on April 21st. Three weeks of hard work will pay off with graduation on May 9th, 7pm at Hopkins High School.
