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.

Help Vivian raise the funds needed so she can aquire an Autism assistance service dog. All of the money goes to for 4 Paws For Ability, Inc. and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $1 or $500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support. So far we have raised $8,000 for Vivian and we are so very grateful for everyones generosity! Not all disabilities have faces we can see but for a child like Vivian who has Autism it can be very hard and crippling to do everyday things that we do and take for granted.
