About 4 Paws For Ability Inc

A service-dog nonprofit, not a pet trainer

4 Paws for Ability, Inc. in Xenia is a nonprofit that "places service dogs with children and veterans with disabilities" rather than a pet-obedience trainer. The site states it has placed "over 2,000 service dogs" since 1998 and offers more than ten service-dog types, including autism assistance, seizure alert, mobility assistance, hearing, and facility dogs.

Accreditation and programs

The organization is accredited by Assistance Dogs International (ADI), is a BBB Accredited Charity, and holds a Charity Navigator 4-star rating and Candid Platinum Seal. It runs a facility with onsite training plus breeding, puppy enrichment, prison, and veterinary programs. Specific pet-owner training methodology is not detailed, which fits its mission as a disability service-dog organization rather than a general dog school.
