OUR MISSION

Paws and Affection is a nonprofit 501c3 with the mission of training and placing service, facility, and companion dogs with young people who have a range of disabilities in the greater Philadelphia area and to educate the public about service dogs and their role in the community. Our goal is to empower these children with independence and confidence by matching them with amazing dogs.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe puppies raised with love, reward-based training, and a heavy dose of socialization early on make the happiest, most capable service dogs. All skills and behaviors are taught using reward-based methods backed by scientific research to foster confident, creative, cooperative, amazing dogs.

WHO WE HELP

Paws and Affection provides service dogs and companion dogs to children under 21 with a range of disabilities and facility dogs to professionals who work with children in therapeutic, educational, or health-related settings.
