GOLDEN PAWS ASSISTANCE DOGS, INC.
NAPLES, FLORIDA

Founded in 2012, PAWS Assistance Dogs, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing highly skilled service and assistance dogs at no cost to combat-wounded veterans and children with significant disabilities. The organization places its assistance dogs through no-cost programs, emphasizing additional specialized training to meet individual recipient needs after initial pairing. These canines offer a wide range of support services, including picking up dropped items, opening and closing doors, retrieving medical supplies, providing balance assistance, and delivering emotional and therapeutic benefits. PAWS remains committed to lifelong support for recipients and their dogs through ongoing training, relationship maintenance, financial aid when necessary, and ensuring safe home environments. Financially reliant on private donations rather than government funding, PAWS Assistance Dogs focuses on serving those who have sacrificed greatly for national freedom, aiming to enhance the lives of heroes by restoring independence. Operating out of Naples, Florida, PAWS was incorporated in 2012 under the company type DOMNP with its mailing address at 3645 Gateway Lane, Naples, FL, and is led by directors such as Georjean Ciulla and Donna M Sisia-Hagan. The organization maintains a presence through pawsassistancedogs.com and exemplifies community impact via its service dog program.
