Get Involved

Changing lives through therapy dogs takes the support of people who believe in the difference they can make. Whether you’re making a donation, sponsoring a program, volunteering your time, or helping provide a future therapy dog, there are several ways to get involved with 4 Pawz Strong.

4 Pawz Strong is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing trained therapy dogs to schools and communities where they’re needed most. Through the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community partners, we can continue creating opportunities for comfort, companionship, and connection.

Donate

Your financial support helps 4 Pawz Strong prepare therapy dogs for schools and organizations in need. Donations support the training that allows these dogs to become trusted companions for the people and communities they serve.

At 4 Pawz Strong, 100% of donations go directly toward training therapy dogs, with no administrative overhead. Every contribution, regardless of size, helps us continue our mission of changing lives, one paw at a time.

Donations can also be made in honor or memory of a loved one, or as an alternative to traditional gifts for special occasions.

Become a Sponsor

Businesses and organizations can make a meaningful difference by sponsoring 4 Pawz Strong and helping make therapy dog programs possible. Sponsorship support contributes to the preparation and placement of dogs that will go on to serve schools and communities.

Corporate sponsorships also give businesses an opportunity to support a cause that directly benefits people while demonstrating their commitment to the communities they serve.

Whether you’re interested in supporting a particular initiative or contributing to the organization’s broader mission, we’d welcome the opportunity to learn about your interests.

Volunteer Your Time

There are ways to support 4 Pawz Strong beyond making a financial contribution. Volunteers can help with fundraising events and other activities that bring people together in support of therapy dog programs.

Experienced dog trainers may also be able to contribute their time and expertise to help prepare dogs for their future roles. These contributions can help extend the organization’s resources and support additional placements.

Volunteer opportunities depend on current needs, but we’re always interested in hearing from people who want to share their time or skills.

Puppy & Breeder Donations

For breeders and individuals who share our mission, donating a puppy can be another way to help bring therapy dogs into schools and community organizations.

4 Pawz Strong works with breeders and training partners to identify dogs that may be suited to therapy work. Temperament, health, personality, and suitability for the intended environment are important considerations when evaluating a potential puppy donation.

Not every dog will be suited to this type of work, so we encourage anyone interested in contributing a puppy to connect with us to discuss the possibilities.

Contact us to inquire about puppy and breeder donations.
