Empowering Veterans
Just a moment of your time can help us save lives.
Patriot PAWS Service Dogs first began with a calling on Lori Steven's heart and the help of four gracious Volunteers. Today, we now have over 300 active Volunteers helping us achieve our mission. If you’d like to become a Patriot PAWS Volunteer, click the link below to apply!
Help Us Change Lives
Become a Puppy Raiser!
Volunteer Puppy Raisers live and work with our dogs in their homes for an extended period of time. Our Puppy Raisers are instrumental in teaching our Service-Dogs-in-Training how to live in a house/apartment environment, go on daily errands, and potentially go to work with their Raiser.
Make a Direct Impact
Volunteer in our Kennels!
Our beautiful, state-of-the-art kennels are home to up to 30 adorable Pups-in-Training. From washing puppy blankets to helping with fun enrichment activities, there’s always a way for our Volunteers to help us create the best environment possible for our Service-Dogs-in-Training.
Support Our Mission
Become an Administrative Volunteer!
We're blessed to have Volunteers who choose to donate their time in a variety of ways. In addition to puppy raising or kennel care, we also offer administrative volunteer opportunities. These Volunteers help us perform important tasks like filing paperwork, writing "Thank You" notes to donors, and even helping us log donations! Our Administrative Volunteers aid us tremendously with clerical tasks so our staff can focus on fulfilling our mission.
