paws4people®️ trains and places Assistance Dogs, empowering users to transform their lives for a better tomorrow. We believe every person is deserving of priceless and well-deserved independence. Today, many clients with “invisible disabilities” using an Assistance Dog while accessing public venues are questioned more readily than a handler whose disability is visible. Therefore, we feel it is important for people to recognize and understand that Assistance Dogs, when employed correctly within the confines of the law, are providing invaluable services to their users.

About The Program:

paws4people foundation was founded by Kyria Henry in 1999, when she was just 12 years old, with the purpose of using dogs as a means of helping people.

This nonprofit’s mission is educating and empowering people to utilize Assistance Dogs to transform their lives.

We have 500 highly trained Assistance Dogs with one or more certifications providing support in areas such as mobility and psychiatric service, educational and rehabilitative assistance, and therapeutic visitation. Together, these dogs have made more than 1,000,000 therapeutic contacts.

paws4people foundation has several different programs through which we train and place assistance dogs with people with disabilities. We specialize in clients under the age of 14 and veterans with PTS; as well as the ground-breaking field of training and utilizing the Canine Assisted Education Dogs.

While there are many organizations that share our goal to enhance human lives with canine love, we have found that no other training program matches the selectiveness, variety and qualifications of the paws4people programs. Most organizations focus on either hospitals, nursing homes, private placements, or schools. Our mission’s multiple aspects are unique in providing diverse groups of citizens with a menu of programs from which they can select the one that best meets their needs.

paws4vets Program: Placing customized Assistance Dogs with veterans and military dependents living with various disabilities.

Through the paws4vets Assistance Dog Placement Program, Veterans, Service Members, and dependents of either with physical, neurological, psychiatric or emotional disabilities can receive Physical and/or Neurological Assistance Dogs, Medical Alert Assistance Dogs, or Emotional Support Dogs.
