Ppawws has been in existance since January. NC solicitation application expired in May (extension expired in June).
They have been accepting donations but are not able to provide IRS tax exempt number as they do no have one.
Individuals have donated dogs worth thousands of dollars and their receipts are worthless. One donor is a veteranarian stationed in Afghanistan and cannot use receipt for donation of three puppies for tax purposes.
Not all dogs have been used or placed as service dogs. One is being kept for breeding purposes even against the donor's (breeder's) wishes.
Funds acquired as donations are not being used to assist receipiants. Almost $18,000 in donations collected in the first six months and none of the dog receipiants have received assistance for veteranarian care or special equipment.
This organization was created to help wounded warriors, but, once puppies are placed, they do not receive adequate training or assistance towards training dogs to be full service dogs.
Two dogs bred by the founder were donated to another organization only to be returned a month later due to their aggression during formal training. The founder placed both dogs with wounded warriors, neither of which had ever owned a dog before.
They are not providing a viable service to our military members. Placing dogs who have been deemed aggressive by certified and highly respected trainers is just putting others in danger.
This organization is not complying with the federal IRS nor the state statutes and laws for a non profit organization.
