Our Mission
Suicide Awareness
2nd leading cause of death for ages 14-21 is suicide. Pawz for Jesus teaches their students of all ages about AGAPE love. We provide FREE Canine Adoption, teaching (training), resources, Bible fellowship and community support that is needed for all of us! Thru working with Our Friends and affiliates, we can connect our students with the necessary licensed psychologist, therapist and doctors that might be needed. Pawz for Jesus Foundation is dedicated to enlightment- connecting their students with dogs to bring an understanding of God’s spiritual gifts that are given to each of us. WE are each HIS Masterpiece!
Pawz for Jesus does not judge, and ALL are Welcomed!
Bible Fellowship
Pawz for Jesus connects students with education resources to teach the healing power of Jesus Christ Our Saviour. Both In-person and On-Line classes through SHBI which are FREE resources to all, provide in-depth teaching of the God’s Holy Word! In addition, we provide local fellowship in Needville, Tx and Sugarland Metro area. We are able teach about the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. Despair, Anxiety and Depression can be tempered by the Word of the Bible. Being with other brothers and sisters who also feel this despair will help build a “Family Community” of loving support. Adding to the community of love is their dedicated Fur Baby who relies on their mom and dad to show them leadership, a state of calmness and total relaxation.
Canine Sponsorship
Our students are awarded their canine (fur baby) with requirements to receive their adoption papers. They must undergo canine training for their support dog, Bible fellowship and work if needed with our affiliates depending upon their individual needs. This is done all at no cost to the students! Teaching the importance of showing AGAPE (unconditional) Love to their fur babies while teaching boundaries, limits and achieving respect are the first steps in our brothers and sisters gaining their own individual confidence so they may navigate life's journey.
Goals
Connect students back to their Heavenly Father.

Cultivate compassion for dogs and all animals, as a result, decrease animal abuse in our society.
Offer help to reduce stress, anxiety and prevent violence in school and at home.
