Polar Paws would like to give a huge shoutout to the amazing professors of Ohio Northern University, especially the ever-amazing Dr. Karen Kier! Dr. Kier led the fifth-year pharmacy students in a chorus of “Happy Birthday” to our furry friend, Cosmo. Happy birthday, Cosmo! And thank you, ONU, for your continued support of the 4 Paws on Campus program. #thepeoplemaketheprogram #polarbearfamily

Jammie would love to see you come out for Relay for Life! Stop by our table to say hi to our pups! Did you know it only takes $15-$20 helps provide tools for cancer research? #PolarPaws #relayforlife American Cancer Society Relay For Life

We're taking a look back on 2016! We are so thankful for all of the wonderful opportunities we were given this past year. We had 7 of our pups become service dogs, 1 pup became a breeder dog, and we officially became an organization on April 4th 2016. We could not have accomplished any of this with out the support of our friends, family, advisers, and of course 4 Paws for Ability. We cannot wait to see what 2017 will bring us and are excited to be going into the new year with you!
