paws4people does not operate with a waiting list. We do not believe it best to put someone’s goals of assistance and independence on “hold” for years, so we opt to use a rolling application method. Upon completing and submitting an application request form, the applicant is notified within six to eight weeks if they are moving to the next step. If so, they will then receive a long application and be assigned a dedicated point of contact to communicate with through each step of the long application. Applicants who are not selected are welcome to reapply in the future.
