This site is to complement 4 Paws for Ability's main site and also 4 Paws Dogs site. It's designed for participation by the immediate families of children seeking service dogs, and 4 Paws staff Board members. It's open for viewing by anyone, but only members can comment, upload, etc.

We'll keep you up to date on our new Capital Fundraising Campaign, give you a place to blog about your service dog adventures (before, during training, and once you've been certified), and more.

Be aware that while we have a moderated membership, anyone can visit the site and read the posts. The only areas that are completely private are our Inboxes (upper right-hand corner of the screen). Those messages are like Direct Messaging, and are strictly between the writers and readers.

We'll give each training group its own area where they can stay in contact.

We'll upload photos and videos, and you can, too, as long as they're related to 4 Paws in some way.

If you have a fundraising event, you can mention it here: there's a special area for Events.

We want to show the world that 4 Paws rocks! Join us, and also, feel free to click "Get Badge" and put a badge on your website leading back to this site.

You can personalize your own "My Page" with any theme you choose, or even create your own theme with a graphic.

Please keep your posts, pictures, and videos, etc. on topic. And please don't be offended when we delete off-topic posts.

Judy Vorfeld, Webmaster
Karen Shirk, Executive Director
