The new year marks WAGS 4 Kids’ 20th anniversary as your renowned service dog organization – bringing together mobility, autism, and mental health service dogs with their child in need, up to 18, as early in their lives as there is a need and an interest. We trained for the first three years out of our little house on East Center Street! Our goal? Inclusion! Always, in all ways. Filling the gap of early intervention services previously unheard of. Our partnership with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Corrections – took us to new heights. We have now grown to serve 38 counties throughout the state of Ohio.
Now, as I look across this table where we first signed our 501 c3 and around the room our annual fall Gala event – I see family, friends & neighbors. I see that our family has become bigger, our memories greater, and our laughter louder. For this – I am immeasurably grateful. Some still sit at our table, and some are now miles away. In the last 20 years, we proudly count 10 former or current staff members, 200 families served, 5 ODRC Institutions, 600+ men trained, 250,000+ Cleveland partygoers, 15 board members, and 1.2 million+ volunteer hours.
You have guided each of our families on their journey, and your friendship is felt every time a child’s service dog steps up to the task in joy, compassion, confidence, and love. For two decades, we have collaborated to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities through the power of service dogs. Together, we have witnessed countless success stories and shared moments of joy, making this anniversary an occasion for celebration and reflection.
Service dogs are integral in enhancing all the special moments for our WAGS families. Through their unwavering dedication and support, they embody the spirit of hope & giving. By supporting WAGS 4 Kids initiatives and spreading awareness, we can ensure that these incredible animals continue to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Please help us continue to branch out so that we can add more children and their photos to our W.A.G.S. 4 Kids family tree. And you will “let the magic begin” for next year and beyond.

I will never be able to say it enough…on behalf of all our families…. Thank you for everything you do to make their wishes come true.
Together, let’s make this year overflow with possibilities!
Appreciate The Little Moments. Celebrate The Milestones. Thank You For 20 Years.
