Big Paws Canine
Big Paws Canine Foundation is a 501(c)3 multi-faceted organization whose primary mission is to provide Service and Companion Dogs to disabled Veterans and former First Responders injured in the line of duty. Every day, a minimum of 23 Veterans commit suicide in the United States. We know from experience that Service Dogs can decrease that number. Our program was developed to help that number be reduced further, in any way that we are able.
Big Paws Canine provides Service Dogs for only $1.00 and trains for the life of the dog for only $1.00 per month. Our Veterans and First Responders have already written a blank check, backed with their own lives, to defend and protect our country and ourselves and our freedoms. We obtain our funding through private donations, corporate sponsorships and grants. We do not require our Heroes to come up with almost $25,000 per dog like some other organizations.
