Our mission at Paws and Effect is to promote and develop canine assistance to individuals and organizations in the community.

                   

      

Therapy Dogs: Trained in the same commands as a service dog but not suited to service dog work, social/therapy dogs help disabled individuals not able or expected to manage or direct the dog’s function themselves. A parent, attendant, therapist, or health care professional is responsible for directing the dog’s service or therapeutic functions and providing for its care. This dog does not have public access rights.

 Facility Teams: Adults who work as rehabilitation professionals, caregivers or educators and utilize an assistance dog to improve the mental physical or emotional health of those in their care.
