PAWS 4 Abilities

About This Episode

In this episode of the Pitbull214 Podcast, host Rick “Pitbull” Perales records his first on-site episode from Four Paws for Ability, an organization dedicated to providing professionally trained service dogs to veterans and children with disabilities across the country.

Rick sits down with Devin Brown to discuss how the program works, including the application process, fundraising efforts, volunteer opportunities, and the importance of recognizing both visible and invisible disabilities. Devin explains that no veteran is “too disabled” or “not disabled enough” to qualify for support.

The episode also features Vietnam veteran John Ferguson, who shares the life-changing impact of his service dog, Porter. From medical alerts to mobility assistance and emotional support, John explains how Porter has become an essential part of his daily life.

This conversation highlights the compassion, care, and dedication behind the service dog matching process while encouraging veterans, families, and supporters to learn more, volunteer, donate, or help spread awareness about this incredible resource.

Thank you for listening to the Pitbull214 Podcast, where veterans, service, resilience, and real conversations come first.
