PAALS is committed to helping our veterans and first responders. We believe these people have given much for their country and communities, and it is now up to us to give back to them when they are in need.

​

For this reason, PAALS established Rob's Best Friend Fund (RBFF) named in memory of PAALS' founders' brother and his commitment to police work and passion for dogs. RBFF helps PAALS to provide service dogs and Veterans Important PAALS dogs to veterans and other first responders at no charge to the individual.

​

The Fund also supports animal assisted intervention (AAI) programs for service people with clinically diagnosed combat related anxiety.
