Why should I donate to PALS with Pawz?
walk 1/4 of a mile or even climb 10 stairs without some kind of assistance. At
P.A.L.S. with Pawz, we believe that every person has the right to have the
quality of life that they want, and by providing skilled service dogs we can give
back to our communities and their citizens.
How long does it take to train a service dog?
A service dog is trained with different commands tailored to their disabled
partners needs, which can be taught to them in about 6-12 months. We begin
with the CGC Training right away. They need to reach their physical and
emotional maturity so they can be properly placed with the right person.
Can I pet your dog?
You should always ask the owner first. If the owner says no, don't take it
considered to be working and therefore not to be touched. The exception to
etc.
Do the dogs get to have any fun?
Of course! Not only do they get to be around their person all the time, they
are also out of the house doing things and going places.

Why do they have to wear a cape/vest?
Service Dogs are not required to wear a cape/vest. However, their cape/vest
is used for multiple things. First, it identifies them as being a Service Dog to
make public access easier for the handler. Next, it acts as their backpack to
carry things such as a copy of the law, other important papers as well as their
clean up kits, medicine, keys, etc.. And finally, the cape vest lets you know
which organization trained the wonderful dog you see.
How does someone get a service dog?
They can apply to PALS with Pawz! The application includes a form to fill out
and flow charts which explain the entire process.
How long is your waiting list?
Right now, our waiting list is 6 months to 2 years. The wait time is will vary
from person to person due to our matching the personality styles of dog to the
applicant. A majority of the wait time is due to this matching process. If we do
not have a match for the applicant, we actively look for one.
How much does a Service Dog cost?
An approximate cost and value of a service dog when fully trained is $25,000
but because of donations we are able to place the dog for a drastically lower
price. This fee can be raised by the individual through fundraising, corporate
sponsorships and other such programs.
How do I get involved?
There are many things you can do, and we welcome your help! You can donate
money, puppy toys or other items, do office work or help with fundraising
activities.
What happens to the dogs that are released from PALS with
Pawz?
Dogs that do not make it as assistance dogs are first offered to their foster
home. If they are unable to keep the dog, they are sold as pets starting at
$150. The adoption fee depends upon how much training they have. Please
check our RELEASED DOGS PAGE for availability.
