Paws With A Cause Charity Profile
In an effort to meet the ever increasing need for Assistance Dogs, PAWS recently added an additional bulding. The Canine Development Facility was dedicated in the Spring of 2003 to address the need for quality dogs for training. We would like to assure our supporters that this decision was not made without immense thought, discussion, and soul-searching. Additionally, we conducted a careful review of 3 years of shelter data from our We have been rescuing dogs to train as Assistance Dogs for nearly 25 years and our statistics have continuously shown that only 1 out of 8 rescues successfully complete our training. We have taken in over 5,000 dogs for training and only 625 have been successful in our program. We test over 1,000 dogs annually and only an average of 6% can pass the preliminary temperament test. The ones that we take are then put through another, more comprehensive test at our Training Center, along with a complete medical exam by our Veterinary Staff. These tests, which include x-rays of hips, elbows and shoulders, can be expensive. Often there are additional shipping costs for returning the dog if it was rescued from a shelter or rescue group in another state.
