“My ESA eases my anxiety and depression. He gives me security and a reason to get up because of the schedule he needs, which eases my anxiety.

I wasn’t able to bring Beaux with me during my move, so I was unbelievably grateful and calmer with my ESA.

I’m incredibly grateful to Paw for Patrick for making it possible for me to have Beaux.”

“My ESA has been there for me and comforted me through panic attacks, ptsd episodes, and has eased my anxiety.

Paws for Patrick helped me be able to afford the care I need for my ESA.

Before Paws for Patrick, I had a lot more anxiety about college and being without my animal. After Paws for Patrick, a lot of weight has been lifted off my shoulders.”

"My ESA helps me feel happier, in a better mood, and never alone. She especially helps me sleep better, which makes it easier to face the day. Having her gives me a sense of purpose; I truly couldn’t be without her. I love her so much.

Before Paws for Patrick, I felt stressed about living alone and being separated from the one thing that brought me comfort—my kitty.

After Paws for Patrick, I felt so happy and at peace knowing I could stay with her. They took away a big source of stress, and now I live calmly and with peace of mind thanks to them."

"Having Oliver is hands down the best decision I could have made for myself. He gives me something to look forward to when I come home from work and never fails to put a smile on my face. Oliver is my best friend.

Before Paws for Patrick, I was unsure if I could afford to have an ESA.

I'm grateful to Paws for Patrick for easing the financial burden that comes with obtaining an ESA."

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our beloved therapy dogs, Bella Edelston.

Bella touched the lives of hundreds of children, teens, and young adults, offering comfort, connection, and a calming presence when it was needed most.

We are incredibly grateful to Lauren for sharing Bella with the Paws for Patrick community. Together, they made a lasting impact on so many young lives and truly embodied the heart of our mission.

Bella's legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched, and she will always be a cherished part of the Paws for Patrick family. 💚
