About Christopher:

About 4 Paws 4 Ability:

Christopher is a 10 year old boy with multiple disabilites.  Christopher's mother has ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a terminal neuromuscular disease.  Click HERE to read more.

 Many families with young children typically have no place else to turn as many organizations either have waiting lists or age specific requirements. Karen Shirk, the Executive Director, knows this from her personal experience. In the late 1990's, Karen was searching for a service dog but was turned down by multiple agencies during a very trying time in her life.

This experience inspired Karen to start 4 Paws for Ability, and to keep as a founding principle the willingness to provide service dogs for any individual regardless of age or disability.
