4K9PAWS Nonprofit

a Bike Tow Leash Charity Initiative

We are proud to support dog-positive initiatives with the profits generated from selling the Bike Tow Leash. Our commitment has led us to establish the “16176844 Canada Foundation,” also known as 4K9PAWS, to focus more on championing charitable causes that are important to us.

As a nonprofit we support dogs’ well-being by promoting safe, healthy, active lifestyles, tailored activities for service dogs and wheelchair users, and supporting service dog use and training programs. We support Animal Adoption and shelters through charitable donations in the Americas and beyond.

What We Do

Enhancing the Well-being of Service & other Working Dogs:

Through the power of donation and support we enhance the lives of service and working dogs (like search and rescue dogs) by supporting specialized training and socialization programs, ensuring they are skilled, happy, and fulfilled. We also donate to assist in physical fitness training, bonding between dog & handler, and a calmer dog during training.

Education, safety, & community outreach:

We educate the public on the importance of training and exercise for ALL dogs, dispel myths about working dogs, and promote their safety and well-being. We also support safe spaces for training, socialization, and bonding with handlers.

Empowering Chair Users through Canine Assistance:

Raising money & donations for trained service dogs is something we hold dear. These dogs are not only companions but also invaluable aids in daily tasks, fostering independence and improving quality of life. Through supporting Service dog-raising organizations (New Horizons, Domino Service Dogs, etc.), Trainers, and providing donations.

Promoting Responsible Dog Ownership:

We donate to Shelters and advocate for responsible dog ownership; training, socialization, and proper care. Your Dog’s needs should be seen, body language learned, and communication developed between humans & canine. By promoting these practices, we aim to ensure that every dog, whether a working dog or a beloved pet, receives the care and attention they deserve. Leave no dog behind!
