PawPrint Ministries is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to honor God in all we do and bring comfort to our community and beyond. Our goal is to achieve this by being available to those in need of love, warmth, and compassion. This goal will be accomplished by sharing registered therapy/comfort dogs with individuals in health care facilities, schools and senior homes, and deployment to areas in need during times of crisis.

Comfort Dog Bear has officially mastered the art of Unleash & Unwind! 🐾

This morning, our PawPrint Ministries volunteers gathered for our monthly Unleash & Unwind, a time to set down the leashes, share experiences, talk through challenges, celebrate successes, and simply enjoy time together.

Bear fully supports the idea of a little rest and relaxation!

For the past few years, PawPrint Ministries has been grateful to partner with the Macon-Piatt Special Education District to provide local high school students with opportunities to gain valuable, hands-on work experience.

Through this partnership, students assist with light cleaning and other tasks around our office while building workplace skills, confidence, and independence.

Brittany and Grace kicked off our first 2 years and now we are grateful Conner has stepped up to help us.

We’re thankful for this partnership, for the students who have shared their time with us, and for the opportunity to play a small part in helping them prepare for their futures.

It’s the confidence Puppy Briggs gained in the last clip that makes us smile!

Every comfort dog starts with the basics, and one of the first skills our dogs learn is how to climb onto a training bench.

Bench training is an important part of preparing our dogs for future visits. It helps build confidence, body awareness, and the ability to follow directions.

The first few clips are Briggs discovering the bench and trying to figure out how to get his body on it. The last 15 seconds were from yesterday’s training session. You can see his confidence soar!

They understood the assignment. And then they captured our hearts. A few months ago, Starlight Creative Studios stepped into our world to discover the heart behind our mission.

We are beyond grateful for the time, talent, and heart they poured into telling our story so beautifully...and we're excited to share it with YOU!

Enjoy this glimpse into our world. Thank you for supporting our PawPrints in the community!

Help us spread the love by sharing our story.

Tonight, our volunteers took over the training floor with pumpkins, creativity, and laughter.

Our Pumpkins & Prosecco evening was all about celebrating our incredible volunteers who work so hard to train their dog and serve in our community.

A little creativity, a lot of laughter, and some well-deserved time together. We are so grateful for the hearts behind the paws!

They understood the assignment…and then they captured our hearts.

A few months ago, Starlight Creative Studios jumped on board to peel back the layers of PawPrint Ministries and understand more about our mission.

They didn’t just show up with lights, cameras and microphones, they invested countless hours following our comfort dog teams, getting to know our volunteers, listening to stories, and witnessing first hand the connections that make our outreach so meaningful.

We are grateful for Rich and Cassy using their incredible talents to produce our latest video. Thank you for seeing the heart behind the paws and bringing our story to life.

🎬Here’s a little behind the scenes glimpse of the making of something very special.
Check back tomorrow for the video release.

We loved having you at PawPrint Ministries. Thank you for rolling up your sleeves to clean the floors, scrub the baseboards, wash the windows, and give our space some extra sparkle.

Story and Briggs were very glad you spent the morning with us!
