Service Dog Quote

"Assistance dogs are an effective way to break open the social atmosphere wherever they go with their children, and this is a somewhat hidden benefit of an assistance dog partnership with a child as it is not widely understood how cloistering our tight fitting cultural skin can be to someone who is not mainstream. Everyone relaxes in the presence of an assistance dog, and in this way the dog’s function can include soothing John Q. Public’s fear of relating to people with developmental differences in order to allow them to relate to someone who really needs them to be included in the fabric of the community in which he lives." --Patty Dobbs Gross

Jewell struggles with social communication and interacting. One of the benefits we hope to see, from getting her Autism Assistance Dog, is the social aspect.

If you would like to help us in raising the funds to support the mission at 4 Paws for Ability, and get Jewell her dog, you can get more information on how to do that here: http://www.razoo.com/story/4-Paws-For-Jewell
