Join Us For Graduation!

December 7th at 3:30 PM SC State Museum

Join us as we celebrate one of the most meaningful moments of the year, PAALS Graduation! On Sunday, December 7th, at 3:30 pm, we’ll gather at the SC State Museum to honor the incredible partnerships formed between our graduating service dogs and the people whose lives they will transform.

This milestone event highlights months of training, dedication, and teamwork. It’s a joyful, inspiring ceremony that showcases the heart of PAALS’ mission: empowering individuals through the assistance and companionship of highly trained service dogs.

We invite our community, supporters, volunteers, and friends to come share in the celebration and cheer on our newest PAALS teams as they take their next steps together.
