Paws Without Barriers was created to support responsible ownership, education, advocacy, and community-based opportunities for families interested in American Hairless Terriers.
While we may offer special placement arrangements, sponsorship-supported opportunities where available, or flexible options in select situations, all placements are reviewed individually and must remain sustainable for both the family and the program.
Approval into the program does not guarantee 100% free placement, discounted pricing, extended payment arrangements, or automatic qualification. Factors such as stability, communication, preparedness, and long-term ability to care for a dog are all considered as part of responsible placement decisions.
Our goal is to create successful, lasting homes while preserving the health, wellbeing, and long-term future of the dogs and program.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
1️⃣ Select dogs are reserved from Royal Flush litters 2️⃣ Qualified applicants complete a screening process 3️⃣ Intentional matches are made 4️⃣ Community support bridges the gap when available
All dogs are placed as companion animals, not certified service dogs.
