Paw Corps

The Dogs who come when called - for the Soldiers who went when asked..._©

Believing in the healing power of interacting with dogs, Pawsitive Perspectives developed Paw Corps: an innovative program designed to assist veterans who are experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) reconnect with their civilian lives, their families and society in general.

These veterans will have the opportunity to focus on positive interactions, controlling frustrations, re-learning patience, emotional regulation and joy as they train service dogs for their fellow veterans who are now facing life with the challenges of new physical disabilities.

While family and friends may not want to hear of their war experiences or their challenges of facing the minutiae of everyday life in the United States' after such intense experiences, the dogs, with no agenda, offer unconditional understanding as well as the ability to "sit" and listen when necessary.

PawPADs Service Dogs placed with veterans through our Paw Corps program are placed without cost to the veteran.

Magic: The magic of seeing a hardened Marine, troubled by the experiences of war, re-learn how to interact with society and his family through the interaction with a canine partner"
