Operation Clarke

We're raising money to give this little boy a service dog.

Paws 4 People

The Dublin Dog Foundation has chosen Paws 4 People as the recipient of our 2011 fundraising efforts. Paws 4 People breeds pups and, once they're of age, transfers them to prisons where specially-trained inmates teach the dogs the necessary skills to be a successful service companion. Once they're fully trained, the dogs are sent to someone in need.

Why We Picked Them

We selected Paws 4 People because they have a proven system. Their unique training program helps not only the recipients of service dogs, but prison inmates as well. Paws 4 People has made a real difference in inmates' lives. Also, the organization was more than willing to travel to Charlotte to meet Clarke, the boy who will be receiving one of their service dogs. It's turned out to be a great partnership!

What We've Done In The Past

How We Work

The animals we support are more than pets. They guide the blind, comfort the terminally ill and, often literally, save lives. These dogs selflessly make humanity a little better and we help them do that in four ways:

  1. We put dogs where they're needed, increasing the role they play in human service.
  2. We support national organizations that help or provide service dogs.
  3. We support people & companies that recognize the importance of service dogs.
  4. We lower costs for other non-profits by donating products to their "lucky dogs."

Of course, we couldn't do any of this without the generous support of kind people like you. Please consider making a donation today. It's quick, easy and will make a huge difference in someone's life.

2009:

Operation "Let Freedom Ride"

In the summer of 2009, we built the world's coolest bike and rode it from Charlotte, NC to Washington DC. The goal was to raise money, which we used to provide a service dog to someone in need. It was a great success! Plus, we raffled off the bike to one very lucky dog! Check out the video to see for yourself:

2010:

Operation "Canine Comrade"

In November 2010, we raffled off a Jeep Wrangler in order to provide a service dog to a wounded veteran. For this project, we partnered with Freedom Service Dogs, a wonderful organization that rescues dogs from shelters, trains them and then donates them to disabled vets. Watch this video for more info:
