New Jersey Therapy & Life Coaching has announced the launch of its new initiative, “Four Paws, Big Hearts,” a campaign with a $50,000 goal to benefit Canine Companions®, the nationally recognized nonprofit that provides highly trained service dogs to individuals with disabilities.
The campaign is designed to bring the community together in support of a mission that changes lives, pairing dogs with people in need to enhance independence, mobility, and emotional well-being. For many recipients, these service animals are not only companions but also vital partners who help with daily tasks, provide comfort in times of stress, and open new doors for social and professional engagement.
New Jersey Therapy & Life Coaching has long been dedicated to empowering people through counseling, wellness services, and life coaching programs. By launching this effort, the organization is expanding its impact beyond the therapy room, connecting its mission of personal growth and healing to the broader cause of supporting service dogs and their handlers.
The “Four Paws, Big Hearts” campaign invites residents from across New Jersey to participate through donations, sponsorships, and community events tied to the fundraiser. Every dollar raised will contribute to training, healthcare, and placement services for Canine Companions dogs. Training service dogs requires extensive time and resources, often amounting to tens of thousands of dollars per animal, making community support essential to sustain and grow these programs.
This campaign also shines a light on the growing recognition of how animals play an integral role in wellness and mental health. Service dogs are known to reduce stress, alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, and foster confidence in individuals navigating daily challenges. By linking the therapeutic work already underway at New Jersey Therapy & Life Coaching with the life-changing role of service dogs, the initiative demonstrates the power of community-based wellness.
“Four Paws, Big Hearts” represents more than just a fundraiser—it’s a call to action for New Jersey residents to rally behind a cause that strengthens both human and animal bonds. With the increasing demand for trained service dogs, the campaign could not come at a more critical time.
