Giving Paws is a nonprofit organization founded in 2022 with the mission to serve our community with trained support dogs and support programming which ensures the care of animals.

Our Paws on the Ground in service include

• Dog Pack: Human and dog teams work in the community sharing dog joy, service locations include assisted living facilities, schools, kids, camps, library, MSU and various community events.

• Pet Partner Fostering Program: Pilot program with SafeCenter that our volunteer pet foster homes temporarily care for the pets of SafeCenter clients.

• Tales with Tails: Kids of all ages can read to and with a dog during our visits to the library.

All our programming includes the best practices of nonprofit service and volunteer practices, including full background checks for all humans and dogs who work with us, and meet a minimum level of training.
