A Message From Our Executive Director

PAWS for People is most happy to be celebrating our 15th Anniversary having achieved some phenomenal milestones along the way. We now have over 600 trained and certified therapy teams, offer training to people and dogs through our successful training programs, provide opportunities to visit through 19 programs (like PAWS for Reading and prison visits) located in 197 different sites in our four state area. I could go on with our impressive numbers, but what makes PAWS so special (and successful) is YOU and all the wonderful people right along with you who are the heart of PAWS. You do the visits; come to training; attend Continuing Ed classes; volunteer at community events; help run events; and donate your time, talent, and treasure because you believe in the magic of pet therapy.

PAWS and I thank YOU for whatever part you have played in our steady growth, our customer outreach, our variety of programs, and simply said, our existence.

Making it to 15 is an impressive achievement. But we have more ideas and more energy and more ways to help people by offering them time with our gentle, affectionate pets. PAWS has more to offer. Stay tuned…
