Together – we can change lives. One Dog at a Time!
Thank you for your interest in Golden PAWS Assistance Dogs. It takes up to two years, sometimes more, before a Golden PAWS dog meets his/her match. During this journey, there is much to be done. Sometimes it is working directly with our cadets in training, raising awareness in the community through education and outreach programs, as well as fundraising. Each job is important and requires commitment, and each job demands the best suited applicant to successfully complete the mission at hand.
HOW THE GIFT OF YOUR TIME AND TALENTS CAN HELP US TO CHANGE SOMEONE’S LIFE!

Fundraising
Without adequate funding, we would not be able to accomplish our goals. This critical component of our operations provides general support for our annual operating budget of $550,000.00. We are also in the process of launching a $10M Capital Campaign for a new home for our organization.
