Enhancing the animal/human bond through education and service.
Our goal is to offer a variety of opportunities for people and their pets to work together as canine-assisted therapy teams, to stay healthy and fit, and to find ways to enjoy life more fully at any stage.

Readers of the Pack™
A literacy program sponsored by 4Paws Learning and Wellness Center to help children not only learn to read, but love to read in order to give them the life-long skills necessary for happier, more successful lives. The program provides certified and trained canine-assisted reading teams to schools and libraries at no charge. Our teams work with children who are invited to read to the dogs and receive one-on-one attention in classrooms, after-school programs, and/or children’s libraries.
Team Qualifications
Our teams are local community members who want to serve others with their dogs. They are insured by 4Paws, and are vetted and trained to work with all ages in a variety of settings. All dogs are evaluated by a certified trainer/behaviorist and 4Paws veteran handlers. All are re-certified annually to assure they are vaccinated and healthy.
