Healing through the power of paws!

As an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 88-4162805) founded by David & Genny Uziel, Urban Paws goal is to breed, train and pair service dogs with first responders, military members, and other public servants experiencing PTSD. We strive to provide these service dogs at no cost to the recipient for the first year and a half.

By breeding and training our own dogs, we are able to ensure our dogs are appropriately suited for their important roles. We are able to ensure that they have the optimal temperament, intelligence, and characteristics to excel as service animals. These exceptional dogs, when trained and paired with these individuals, provide the recipient with a steadfast companion and an invaluable support system.

We remain invested in the ongoing success of our teams, offering continuous support, education, and resources to ensure a lasting and impactful relationship. Through our dedication to cultivating these life-changing partnerships, we aim to empower first responders and veterans with the transformative gift of canine companionship, promoting independence, hope, and healing in their lives.
