Improving lives through the power of the human-dog connection.
关于我们
Paws & Think, Inc., is a values-driven 501(c)(3) charitable organization incorporated in October 2001. Paws & Think is a non-profit organization focusing on the at-risk community, both human and canine. Our vision creates a community where “every person who would benefit from a dog has the opportunity, and every dog fulfills its potential.” We do this with two proven methods: one of training and providing therapy dogs for both animal assisted activities and animal assisted therapies to youth, seniors and special needs individuals of all ages. The second method is our Youth–Canine Programs that facilitate classes for at-risk youth and teens, helping them to train shelter dogs with positive reinforcement behaviors. The young people learn responsibility, job readiness, anger management, parenting skills, leadership and positive life skills, while at the same time increasing the dog’s chances of adoption because of the basic obedience skills learned. Pride and confidence are found as a result of both aspects of our vision. Our Programs Serve: Youths who are academically or behaviorally challenged; incarcerated; at-risk of suicide; pregnant and single; or lack a positive self-image Children and adults with physical, emotional or behavioral disabilities/needs Stray, surrendered or neglected dogs at-risk of euthanasia The communities in which these groups reside Mission Statement: Improving lives through the power of the human-dog connection.

“Therapy dogs can ease young patients’ anxiety in the emergency room.” ???? Paws & Think therapy teams participated in a clinical trial with Riley Hospital for Children and found that after spending time with a therapy dog, young patients reported a significantly larger decrease in their anxiety than kids who didn’t.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of therapy dog Lucy, who brought so much joy and comfort to those around her. We are so thankful for Lucy and her human, Erica, for sharing love, kindness, and gentle companionship wherever they went. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the love she gave will never fade. As Erica so beautifully put it: "Through it all, I maintain that the deep sadness and heartache we feel in her passing is simply the cost of all of the years of joy and unconditional love that she gave us. To me, it is a fair exchange." Rest easy, sweet Lucy. You made the world a better place. ???? To honor Lucy’s memory and continue her legacy, donations can be made through our Paws & Honor Fund: https://lnkd.in/gpkr456h. Your support will help bring the same joy and comfort that Lucy shared to those in need through our pet therapy programs.
