PAWS FOR INDEPENDENCE SCHOLARSHIPS
Make an impact: Invest in a today. We transform lives and you can, too. When you get involved through our educational program, you make an impact and open doors of opportunity for our dogs and the people who need them. You invest in their future and give back to our community. Perhaps you have a wonderful memory of a pet or a loved one, or want to honor your family name. Establishing a named at the sustaining or endowment levels provides a unique opportunity to pay it forward while honoring the cherished memories. Our program helps Southeastern Guide Dogs offer all of our guide dogs and service dogs at absolutely no cost to the recipients. These dogs change the world for people with visual impairments, and with your help, we can do more. Establish a today. And thank you for making futures brighter as you invest in the power of extraordinary dogs, transforming lives.
