Helping Paws Of Minnesota Charity Profile

Helping Paws is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to further the independence of people with physical disabilities (other than blindness or deafness) through the use of service dogs.

Helping Paws service dogs promote self-sufficiency and empower people with physical disabilities. The dogs are not just companions; they are hardworking partners that allow many of our graduates to live more free, unconstrained lives both at home and in public. The dogs not only help with daily living tasks but also give added confidence and renewed self-esteem. The friendship and companionship of a Helping Paws service dog is priceless
The Helping Paws mission has been steadfast since our non-profit creation in 1988. The organization however evaluates the mission on a regular basis by keeping abreast of industry trends, unique opportunities and community needs. Our core values were created in the new millennium through the collaboration of everyone involved with the organization, so that the message is truly unique to Helping Paws and represents the interests of staff, volunteers, board of directors and graduates.

The mission of Helping Paws is to further the independence of individuals with physical disabilities through the use of service dogs.
