🐾 Welcome to Service Paws — A 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Changing Lives, One Paw at a Time 🐾

At Service Paws, we’re more than service dog trainers—we’re a nonprofit community dedicated to transforming lives through the powerful bond between people and dogs. As a recognized 501(c)(3) organization, every program we offer is rooted in compassion, empowerment, and accessibility.

Our mission goes far beyond teaching commands. We specialize in owner-assisted service dog training, helping individuals with disabilities—including veterans, first responders, and those with invisible injuries—train their own highly skilled service dogs. These dogs don’t just follow cues—they become trusted partners, providing confidence, emotional support, and the freedom to navigate daily life with greater independence.

💙 Therapy Dog Visits That Heal and Uplift

Service Paws proudly organizes therapy dog visits to schools, senior centers, hospitals, and military bases across our region. Our certified therapy teams bring comfort, smiles, and a calming presence to those facing life’s toughest moments. Whether it’s brightening a classroom, easing anxiety in a hospital room, or supporting veterans during recovery, these visits remind people they are not alone.

🐶 Affordable Dog Training That Gives Back

To help fund our mission, we offer affordable one-on-one dog training sessions for local families. From rambunctious puppies to older dogs learning better manners, our positive, relationship-based training strengthens the human-animal bond at every stage. And here’s the best part: 100% of training proceeds go directly toward supporting our nonprofit programs, allowing us to reach more individuals and dogs in need.

✨ Empowering Lives, Spreading Joy, and Building Hope

Whether you’re looking for greater independence, wanting to give back through therapy dog work, or simply hoping to raise a happy, well-behaved companion, Service Paws is here to walk beside you—every step of the way.

Together, we’re creating a more compassionate, inclusive world—one paw at a time.
