Paws Up for 25 Years of Impact!

In 2001, Paws & Think began with a simple but powerful belief: the unconditional love of dogs can change lives. Twenty-five years later, that belief has grown into a movement, and we are proud to celebrate 25 years of service across Central Indiana.

Today, Paws & Think strengthens our community through programs built on the human–dog connection. From Therapy Dog teams that show up when support is needed most, to our Youth–Canine program where vulnerable youth work alongside shelter dogs to build empathy, confidence, and second chances, this work changes lives on both ends of the leash.

In 2025, our programs touched over 117,500 lives. On May 6th, during our Day of Giving (D.O.G.), we are raising $25,000 in honor of our 25th Anniversary. When you give, you help us train and support therapy teams, strengthen Youth–Canine programs, and keep showing up for our community for the next 25 years.

Give today and leave your pawprint on the next 25 years of impact. 🐾
