paws4people does not believe that one can be “anonymous” living in their community with an Assistance Dog or working in his/her profession with a Facility Dog. The very nature of having an Assistance Dog in public brings passive disclosure that the person has a disability which an Assistance Dog helps to control, regulate, and mitigateSM. Although a Client never has to disclose the nature of their disability for any reason, navigating the world with an Assistance Dog necessitates that they will be a good ambassador for Assistance Dogs in the community. Similarly, working as a professional with a Facility Dog necessitates that a Handler will be a good ambassador for other Facility Dogs working in the community. As such, paws4people does not believe in allowing Clients and Handlers to be “anonymous” in the Client or Handler placement process. We do, however, make accommodations for Clients and Handlers who need different levels of anonymity due to validated security concerns.
