You Can Help Change a Life. 

PAWS Foundation of the Lehigh Valley is built on the belief that it takes a community to make a difference.

You don't have to be able to fund an entire service dog to make an impact. You don't have to have a large business or a huge following.

Every person, every business, every volunteer, and every act of kindness helps us bridge the financial gap for someone who needs a service dog.

There are many ways you can be part of the PAWS family.

Volunteer With PAWS

Our events, fundraisers, and community outreach wouldn't be possible without volunteers. 🐾 

Whether you can help for an hour at an event, lend a hand with setup and cleanup, help spread awareness, or have a special skill you'd like to share, we'd love to have you on our team.

No special experience is required, just a willingness to help.

Become a Business PartneR

Local businesses play an important role in helping us grow our mission.

Businesses can support PAWS through event sponsorships, workplace fundraisers, employee volunteer opportunities, donations, or other creative partnerships.

Your business can help us restore independence for an individual who may otherwise struggle to afford the service dog or training they need.

🎉 Sponsor an Event

Our events are an important part of how we raise funds and introduce PAWS to our community.

From sponsoring a hole at Paws For Putts to becoming an event sponsor, your business can help make our fundraising efforts possible while getting your organization in front of members of our community.

Fundraise for PAWS

Want to do something creative to support our mission?

Host your own fundraiser for PAWS!💙 

A birthday fundraiser, workplace challenge, community event, school project, neighborhood activity, or creative idea can all help make a difference.

You don't have to wait for a PAWS event to make an impact.

Have an idea? We'd love to hear it.

📣 Spread the Word

One of the easiest ways to help PAWS costs nothing.

Follow us on social media. Share our posts. Invite your friends to an event. Tell someone about our mission.

The more people who understand what service dogs can do and the financial barriers many individuals face, the more people we can reach.

Your voice can help us reach someone who needs us.

Become a Community Partner🤝 

We are always looking for organizations and professionals who share our commitment to helping individuals with disabilities.

We welcome opportunities to connect with:

• Service dog organizations and professional trainers

• Veterinary professionals

• Disability organizations

• Healthcare and community organizations

• Local businesses

• Schools and community groups

• Other organizations interested in supporting our mission

Together, we can create a stronger network of resources for the people and service dogs we serve.

Help Us Find People Who Need PAWS

You may know someone who could benefit from our assistance.

If you know an individual with a physical or psychological disability who is facing a financial barrier to obtaining or training a service dog, or someone with an actively working service dog facing an emergency veterinary expense, tell them about PAWS.

You could be the connection that changes their life

There Is a Place for You at PAWS

Whether you volunteer your time, sponsor an event, fundraise, share our story, partner with us, or simply tell someone about PAWS, you are helping us bridge the gap.

You don't have to do everything.

Just do something.

Together, we can help more people find the independence, confidence, and support that comes with a service dog partnership.

One dog can change one life.

Together, we can help change many more. 🐾
