As we continue to grow in the number of assistance dogs whelped, trained and placed with people in need, we find we are outgrowing our current building which is a converted day care center. The mission of Palmetto Animal Assisted Life Services is to enrich and empower children and adults with physical, intellectual, and emotional disabilities by training service animals and providing animal assisted educational, therapeutic, and recreational activities. We are accredited with Assistance Dogs International and Animal Assisted Interventions International. PAALS has been serving South Carolina residents with disabilities for 15 years. We need to have more space to expand our ability to serve!

​

We are hopeful for a bequest from an individual or estate of funds or property that can be converted for our use. Ideally, the property would meet the following criteria:

​

• A therapeutic setting that is wooded, peaceful and quiet.

• Location along the I-20 corridor between I-26 and I-77

• Approximately 5-15 acres

• Our main facility building needs to be a minimum of 6,000 square feet.

• Handicap accessible

• Facility with an open floor plan or one that can be easily reconfigured

• Outbuildings would be fine.

​

If you know of anyone who might be willing to donate property or help fund this initiative, please email PAALS at mpayne@paals.org or info@paals.org.

​

This would be a wonderful legacy to provide help for those people who are challenged by disability.
