paws4vets_TM (www.paws4vets.org) is a paws4people_TM foundation program.

The paws4people_TM foundation (www.paws4people.org) privately places trained, certified and insured Assistance Dogs (AD) with individuals with physical, neurological, psychological and/or emotional disabilities.

Through the paws4vetsTM Assistance Dog Placement Program (p4vADPP) Veterans, Active-Duty Service Members (ADSM) or their dependents with physical, neurological, psychiatric or emotional disabilities can receive Psychiatric Service Dogs, Mobility Service Dogs and Rehabilitative Assistance Dogs, free of charge.

All paws4people_TM Assistance Dogs are trained by federal inmates within one of five federal prisons (www.paws4prisons.org) and/or the paws4vets_TM Wounded Warrior PTSD Intervention and Assistance Dog Training Program.

Our newest program is The paws4vetsTM’s Wounded Warrior PTSD Intervention and Assistance Dog Training Program (ADTP). This program has two primary goals:

to provide the Wounded Warriors with a unique opportunity to experience the “Special Therapeutic Powers” of the K-9/Human Bond enabling the Soldier to recover from, or at least learn to better cope with, handle and manage their Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) symptoms, and,

to train, certify and place Assistance Dogs with Veterans, Active-Duty Service Members (ADSM) or their dependents with physical, neurological, psychiatric or emotional disabilities.
