What is the Pawsitive Access Canine Training Fund?

The Pawsitive Access Canine Training Fund provides dog training resources to individuals and families in need, fostering stronger bonds and better lives for dogs and their humans.

Our mission is to break down financial barriers to dog training, ensuring every dog and their person has access to compassionate, effective training support.

The PACT Fund is mutual aid, not a charity.

What is Mutual Aid?

Mutual aid is a voluntary, community-driven system where individuals come together to support one another based on shared needs and resources. Unlike charity, which often relies on a top-down structure, mutual aid emphasizes solidarity, collaboration, and collective care. It operates on the principle that everyone has something to contribute, and everyone deserves support when in need.

In the context of the Pawsitive Access Canine Training Fund, mutual aid ensures that dog training resources are accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to afford them, fostering stronger communities and better relationships between dogs and their humans.

Why Choose Mutual Aid for the Pawsitive Access Canine Training Fund?

Mutual aid aligns with the fund’s mission to create a community where everyone—both donors and recipients—are equals, working together to meet shared needs. It ensures that the fund remains grassroots, accessible, and focused on immediate support rather than being tied to external regulations or profit-driven motives.
