MOKI’S PAWS OF PURPOSE
Small paws. Big purpose.
Moki is a trained and certified service dog, therapy dog, and proud member of Michael’s Angel Paws, participating in educational visits that highlight the positive impact animals can have on emotional well-being.
Through Moki’s Paws of Purpose, he visits schools, workplaces, hospitals, and community spaces to help promote moments of calm, connection, and joy. Research continues to show that interactions with animals can reduce stress, support mental wellness, and create meaningful experiences for people of all ages. Moki also participates in visits that support individuals living with epilepsy, helping create moments of calm and emotional grounding for patients who may experience stress, anxiety, or isolation related to seizures.
Moki is fully trained and certified for public interaction and enjoys meeting new friends while helping bring awareness to the many benefits animals can bring to our daily lives. Moki is available for approved comfort visits in healthcare environments, including hospital waiting areas and patient support programs. These visits focus on providing calm, positive interaction that can help reduce stress for patients and families navigating neurological conditions such as epilepsy.
Visits are coordinated with staff and follow all facility guidelines for therapy animals.
Moki is available for visits to schools, workplaces, hospitals, community events, and wellness programs.
Service Dog Education
Auraclipse works to increase awareness about the training, responsibilities, and important roles dogs can play in supporting safety, independence, and quality of life, especially for people living with epilepsy. This initiative also helps promote respectful interactions and greater understanding of working service animals within the community. Organizations can inquire about educational talks or presentations, "Service Dogs & Seizure Safety: Understanding the Role of Working Dogs", that help audiences better understand the differences between service dogs (seizure-response or seizure-alert dogs), therapy dogs, comfort dogs and emotional support animals, ADA access rights
Purple Paws Connection🐾
Purple Paws Connection is a future initiative focused on helping connect individuals living with epilepsy with rescue dogs that can provide companionship, comfort, and emotional support. By serving as a bridge between individuals and rescue organizations, the goal is to help create meaningful matches while allowing experienced rescue groups to guide the adoption and placement process.
Because many individuals living with epilepsy face challenges related to employment and financial stability, this initiative also hopes to develop community partnerships and fundraising efforts to help support the care and well-being of these companion animals.
A connection that brings comfort, strengthens mental well-being, and offers a new beginning for both.
Rescue Partnerships
Purple Paws Connection hopes to work alongside rescue organizations that share the goal of helping both people and animals find meaningful companionship.
Rescue groups that are interested in collaborating are welcome to connect to explore opportunities to help match rescue dogs with individuals living with epilepsy who may benefit from companionship and emotional support. Auraclipse aims to serve as a bridge by helping make connections, while experienced rescue organizations guide the adoption and placement process.
Together, we can help create supportive partnerships that benefit both people and dogs in need of a new beginning.
