Improve the quality of your life

Paws’itive Teams, incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in California, provides service dogs for persons with disabilities, enabling these persons to live more independent lives and to achieve an enhanced quality of life. We custom train our service dogs to meet the specific needs of the individual and provide lifetime team support following placement. All placements are limited to San Diego County.

Paws’itive Teams only places dogs with persons living in San Diego and with mobility limiting disabilities. We do not train and place dogs for seizure response, hearing alert, psychiatric disabilities, autism, or developmental disabilities.

PAWS’ITIVE TEAMS IN ACTION

San Diego Pets Magazine Carolyn Peters is fairly aware of what it’s like to live with a disability. She knows how it feels when people stare at her when she brings a service dog into a public place. She knows how it is to have to teach that dog to retrieve things for her and perform tasks based on specific needs. She also knows how things may change as that dog gets older and how she would deal with being responsible for another living creature. She is not, however, disabled.
