Expanding Our Paw-Print

Each month, Helping Paws dogs in training visit English Rose, where residents generously share their time and experiences to help prepare our dogs for their future roles as service dogs. In return, the residents receive comfort, companionship, and the unique joy that only a dog can bring. This special partnership was recently highlighted by WCCO & CBS News Minnesota, shining a light on the meaningful impact these visits have for both the residents and the dogs. Watch below!

Featured Placement

We're excited to highlight to our community one of our new Helping Paws assistance dog partnerships! Meet Gary and his service dog, Pavo. Also pictured are volunteer dog trainers Jane and Ron, who dedicated their time, energy, and love to raising Pavo through the second half of his training. Also featured are Sam and Nick, who started Pavo's training. We're grateful for their commitment in helping Pavo become the incredible assistance dog he is today.

Helping Paws Day At The Saints

We had such a great time at the St. Paul Saints’ Dog Days of Summer! It was wonderful to connect with so many people, share what our dogs can do, and enjoy a fun day at the ballpark together. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and support Helping Paws! Thanks Scruff Life Photography for capturing these!
