OUR VISION

Humans and animals are partners in healing the world.

OUR MISSION

  1. Increase awareness of animals' special abilities & elevate their roles.

  2. Foster collaboration & synergy among animal organizations & pawsitive animal research.

  3. Serve as a catalyst for animal-related entrepreneurship.

 

Our Strategic Initiatives

 

 
 

1.) The Paws-Up Challenge can raise awareness of animal’s special abilities.

 

Robert Picardo’s Paws-Up™ Challenge!

Ethan Phillips’ Paws-Up™ Challenge!

 

2.) DATA for Animals is an interactive, virtual archive that uses AI to search animal-related stories and experiences for patterns and research opportunities. We need your animal story!

3.) Dogs can detect diseases and illnesses in humans early-on and reliably.

 

Dogs can recognize the scent of COVID-19. They’re able to smell the virus with near 100% certainty. They can also identify the virus days before the symptoms have even started!

Essentially dogs are just as effective as the Star Trek Tricorder, but cuter!

 

4.) Dogs can make schools safer, kinder, and more loving.

 

Whether they sniff for COVID-19, guns, or provide emotional support, dogs can be a proactive solution to school safety. Often, children will opt to read to dogs for comfort.

 
 

Supporting the Pawmaste™ Foundation is about
revolutionizing the way we see, live, and work with animals.

We hope that you’ll help us make the world a better place, one Paws-Up™ at a time!

 

The Paws-Up™ Challenge

We created the Paws-Up™ Challenge to make supporting us easy!

 
 

The Paws-Up™ Challenge is a campaign for animals similar to
the ALS Ice-Bucket Challenge — only warmer and dryer!
As a result of the Ice-Bucket Challenge, ALS organizations
generated over $240 million worldwide .

Help us raise awareness and make a difference by doing or sharing
the Paws-Up
Challenge with your friends & family!
