Training a service dog to meet our child’s requirements can be very costly. On average it costs between $40,000-60,000 to raise, train, and place a service dog at 4 Paws for Ability. While 4 Paws for Ability fundraises to help cover a significant portion of this cost, families are tasked with raising $20,000 of that amount or $23,000 if receiving a poodle, doodle or papillon. We hope that we can receive assistance from our beloved family and friends to help make our service dog dream a reality.

Hi! My name is Evie and I am 4 years old. I was a SUPER early baby and born at only 25 weeks gestation. I weighed a tiny 1.5 lbs at birth. Now I'm 4 and I've recently been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. I am trying to raise money to meet my fee for service to get an Autism Assistance service dog. I live in central MS with my mom and dad. I love books, pizza and being outside! Having a service dog would help with keeping me safe, help calm my anxiety in social situations, track me in case I ever get lost, and more! Would you please consider helping me on my journey? Any little bit helps whether its $5 or $500 and we really appreciate your help!!
