Paws and Affection is a nonprofit 501c3 focused on the mission of training and placing service, facility, and companion dogs with young people who have a range of disabilities in the greater Philadelphia area and to educate the public about service dogs and their role in the community.

At Paws and Affection we recognize the innate ability dogs have to bond with humans. Dogs use their heightened senses to read our body language and to smell changes in our body chemistry. When these abilities are honed to focus on specific needs, the result is a mutually beneficial relationship between dog and child that has a tremendous impact.
