Testimonials
“Cappy has the ability to help me with every task such as opening doors and picking up fallen objects. He also helps me mentally. He allows me to educate the public of the importance of service animals in the lives of disabled people. In the future we hope to visit veterans and help with fund raisers for Service Paws. He has the ability to recall numerous commands to perform necessary tasks that most people take for granted.”
– Charlie Koch
“I got waffles on November 5th 2021. She is 17 months old. Waffles help me with my PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, and diabetes (she was not specifically trained for that – she did that on her own). She puts gentle pressure on my chest when i am having any panic attacks and anxiety issues. She wakes me when I am having PTSD flash backs. I don’t know how I ever went this long without the help of a service dog. She has helped me so much over the past 7 months, and I will always be thankful for all the trainers at New Hope Assistance Dogs Inc. With waffles I am able to do more things and be okay there where I need to be.”

“York has made such a difference in Jessies life, she does not need to be as dependent on others as much as she had been. For example if Jessie drops something York is able to pick it up for her, she is also able to help Jessie get off of the floor if her knee gets stuck. Because of York we have seen a huge change in Jessie emotionally. We know that as time goes on York will continue to help Jessie and Jessie will continue to feel more independent. York is no doubt Jessie’s best friend. Thank You Service Paws for all that you do. We cannot put a price tag on the joy and independence that York has brought Jessie. It was all made possible because of you.”
