Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $276,294 spent. We offer guidance, selection, training, education, and certification of a service dog team through our organization, we are unique in that we offer several ways for a client to obtain a service dog, rescue pup to service dog, or finally,a pawtastic volunteer raises a pup to be a service dog to be given to a recipient. It is our belief that in order for the team to work, a bond between the dog and recipient must be present.
  2. We offer top-notch, affordable dog training to help minimize the number of dogs surrendered to our shelters. We offer a variety of classes throughout the community, as well as in-home lessons, through Las Vegas and Henderson. We conduct a range of classes from basic to advanced, as well as agility training.
  3. Therapy Dog Program. We are thrilled that your pup and you are interested in joining this growing option for giving back. Its a journey you will never forget as you bring smiles through waggin tails. We all know that our four-legged kids give us unconditional love and uplift us at all times, and your decision to share that experience with a complete stranger is a worthy cause. We are grateful for your impact on the Las Vegas Community that touches both patient and the patients family.
