Apply for a Dog

We have a screening process to determine if PAWS can provide you with a dog that fits your needs. Eligibility requirements and screening procedures vary for each type of dog that we place.

In order to be considered to receive an application for a PAWS Assistance Dog, you must meet one of the following criteria:

1. You must be a combat wounded veteran challenged by a physical disability or PTSD. We also consider First Responders who have been injured through their work.

2. Children must have a qualifying physical disability and be over the age of six.
