The mission of Helping Paws is to further people's independence and quality of life through the use of Assistance Dogs. Serving people with physical disabilities and veterans and first responders with PTSD.
Helping Paws is a volunteer based non-profit that trains Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers to become service dogs.
At BTAA, we believe people and pets belong together. Through animal adoption, foster care, Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR), community support programs, and pet retention resources, we work to create a more compassionate future for animals and the people who love them.
Every year, our team and volunteers help thousands of animals find safety and care while supporting families through every stage of the human-animal bond. From lifesaving shelter services to innovative community initiatives, BTAA is committed to keeping pets in homes, reducing overpopulation, and making our region a better place for animals to thrive.
Whether you adopt, foster, volunteer, donate, or advocate alongside us, you’re part of the work that changes lives every day.
