Our mission

 The Service Paw Project exists to honor the vital partnership between service animals and the people they assist. Like professional athletes, these dogs work at the highest level every day. Their care isn’t optional — it’s foundational.

Our story

 Our founders, both elite Paralympic athletes, know firsthand what it means to depend on a service dog. Suri, one of our founder’s dogs, worked for an extraordinary 14 years and lived to 15.5 — far beyond the average of 8 years for most service dogs. Why? Because she received the right nutrition and care, thanks to a supportive veterinarian who went above and beyond.

We want every handler to have that same chance: more years, more independence, more life with their trusted partner — during their working careers and into retirement.
