Breeding Program Numbers

The need for Helping Paws assistance dogs is pressing. We currently have a 3-year waitlist for new applicants eagerly waiting to receive the life-changing gift of a service dog. 

To meet the growing demand, Helping Paws has an ambitious plan to expand our Breeding Program from 6 to 15 dogs. This will double our breeding program and ultimately quadruple the number of individuals matched with a service dog each year.

The new breeding and training costs (over $650,000 across 3 years) are in addition to our annual budget and will need to be maintained once we achieve our current expansion goal.
