Welcome to the Lend A Paw Blog!
Where you can find up to date information about the program, current LAP teams and LAP therapy dogs candidates, scheduled visits, and much more.
Lend A Paw is committed to enhancing the lives of individuals experiencing physical, mental, emotional or life challenges by providing therapy dogs to offer warmth, compassion, unconditional love and a healing environment. The program is designed to rescue dogs from the shelter and train them to be therapy dogs. Individuals are also invited to join our LAP team with their own dogs provided the dogs have the required obedience and temperament for therapy work.

Mobile Pet Adoption - JD transport
26501 Bouquet Canyon Road
Saugus, CA 91350

JD, our Lend A Paw dog in training, needs transport to this weekend's mobile pet adoption. He is currently residing at K9s Only, so we need one volunteer to pick him up, take him to the adoption and help him find a home, and then bring him back afterward. Please contact Sharon at sharon@k9sonly.com if you are able to help!
