Help give a shelter dog a new and rewarding life as a trained assistance dog!

Approximately 97% of all people with disabilities are not blind; they are physically challenged in some other way. Paws With a Cause® trains dogs to help with many everyday tasks that can pose significant challenges to those with disabilities.

With their constant attentiveness and loyalty, dogs are the ideal service animal. An assistance dog can alert a deaf parent to the crying of a baby in the next room, or to help with daily independence by opening doors using a special pulling device invented by Paws With a Cause®. Dogs can be trained to pull wheelchairs, transfer a wallet to a cashier and back, and even call 911 when needed.

Paws With a Cause® facilitates the fostering of 1- to 3-year-old dogs from shelters with loving families who provide a safe and loving foundation. The dogs undergo careful training and evaluation so they can be matched with the best possible owner.

The Animal Rescue Site is excited to support Paws With a Cause® in its noble work. $20.00 through this Gift That Gives More™ helps transform a shelter dog into a trained Assistant Dog.

1. I just met someone with a trained assistance dog for diabetes

She came to our Unitarian church service yesterday, accompanied by her beautifully behaved caramel colored dog. He was wearing a red medic alert coat. After the service she and I got into a conversation with myself and a friend. The woman said she has Type 1 diabetes, and the service dog detects when her blood sugar is too low, with his sense of smell, and alerts her.

Not only that, but I noticed that every time we stood up to sing a hymn, he stood up too! And then sat down when it was over.

3. Dogs are just incredible companions for so many reasons...

it's terrific that these shelter pups are being trained for a new life.

2. I will donate!

I was going to give some of my Golden Retriever pups to them in '96.
But I neglected to have Byron and Leigh medically certified first.
Byron lived over ten years.
Leigh was in good health when she crossed the rainbow bridge
after loving me over 16 years.

5. I can't own more than one large dog now. But there's time for another one.

I hope. Goldens are the best!
