We specialize in placements with people who are turned away by many other agencies. Often times people with disabilities contact agencies that place service dogs only to be told they are 'too disabled' or 'not disabled enough' and are turned down. Also, parents trying to find service dogs for their children quickly discover that many agencies will not place service dogs with children.
In addition, many agencies won't place service dogs in homes where there are other pets and tell the person if they want a dog they have to get rid of their current pet companions.
At 4 Paws we accept anyone who has a disability as defined by the Americans of Disabilities act of 1990 (within the realm of our ability to train the dog and meet the individual need) and specialize in finding creative solutions for people who have severe disabilities. We accept children of any age and have formed a team placement where the dog is certified to the parent and child as a three person team.
In addition, our dogs are trained to work even with the distractions created by other household pets. We believe that asking a family to give up their current furry family members to obtain a service dog promotes the societal view that the animals in our lives are commodities to be thrown away when no longer convenient. In keeping with this respect for the animals in our lives, we also encourage our families to keep their dogs when they are retired or can no longer work because of health issues.
