Paws 4 Autism

Paws 4 Autism is a non-profit organization based in Lee's Summit, Missouri. With 5 to 9 employees, the organization focuses on providing financial support to families seeking Autism Service Dogs for their children. Paws 4 Autism has generated an estimated $2.5 million in revenue and operates through a website located at paws4autism.org. The organization's mission revolves around helping families connect with the world through the use of Autism Service Dogs. These dogs provide essential support to children with autism, offering physical and emotional stability. Service dogs can alleviate anxieties in public settings, minimize disruptive behaviors, and facilitate social interaction within schools. Paws 4 Autism's primary service is a matching grant program designed to help families cover the costs associated with acquiring an Autism Service Dog. Recognizing that not every child with autism benefits from a service dog, the organization emphasizes careful screening and evaluation to ensure a successful match between the child, family, and dog.
