SERVICE DOGS FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM
Service Dogs for Children with Autism act as constant companions to children with autism to help them improve social interactions and relationships, expand verbal and nonverbal communication, teach life skills, increase interest in activities and decrease stress within the family. A PAWS Dog doesn’t pass judgment, but breaks into the world of autism and becomes a crucial part of the family’s life. In an effort to better meet the needs of our future and current clients PAWS has an annual application acceptance policy. The online application will become available on January 10. If you are currently a PAWS Client and are interested in receiving a successor dog please contact our Client Services Department at 616-877-7297.
