4 Paws for Ability Mission & Vision Statements, Goals, & Competitive Advantages Mission Statement4 Paws for Ability, Inc. mission is to:
- Enrich the lives of people with disabilities by the training and placement of service dogs to provide individuals with companionship and promote independent living
- Educate the public to accept the use of service dogs in public places
- Assist with animal rescue whenever possible by obtaining many of our animals from shelters and rescue groups.
- How does 4 Paws for Ability meet the needs of children with seizures? It means training a dog that is unique in what it does for each child. Most agencies will not work with children, especially very young children. At 4 Paws, we have no minimum age requirement and believe fully in early intervention.
At 4 Paws we have two main categories. Our training falls into Seizure Assistance Dogs and Seizure Assistance Dogs with facilitated Alert Training. The seizure Assistance dog provides emotional support, and physical help to a person who has a seizure disorder.
Most of the calls 4 Paws take on a daily basis, in regard to Seizure Assistance Dogs, are from the parents of children who have seizures.
This led us to develop a program geared toward the placement of dogs trained to provide a level of emotional support above and beyond what could be achieved with the addition of a family pet.
