Paw Pals Assistance Dogs (PPAD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities, by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. Founded in 2002, PPAD is located in Colorado.

PPAD raises funds through individual donations, grants and fund-raising programs and events. Paw Pals receives no government funding. We are an ALL VOLUNTEER organization. We volunteer – we are not paid to do the work we do, so all donations go directly to breeding, raising, training, placing and the ongoing and continued support of our graduate teams.
