About Paws for Learning
Since 1998, Paws for Learning has provided canine educational assistance to thousands of students and staff in schools and other communities settings. In 2007, Paws for Learning expanded to provide canine critical incident and disaster response and recovery services. As a result, new partnerships in the critical incident and disaster training response/recovery communities developed, allowing canine teams to assist locally, regionally and nationally.
Since making this commitment, Paws for Learning volunteers have responded to the 35W bridge collapse, a fatal bus crash, deaths of college students, tornadoes, missing person incidents, floods, fires, shootings and the recovery needs of relief workers responding to these disasters and critical incidents.
