NOTE: PAWS+ sessions are all reserved for the fall 2024 semester. Please only complete this request for the spring 2025 semester and beyond. Thank you for your understanding.

PAWS+ is a feature of Boynton Health’s PAWS Program available to UMN students, staff, faculty, and community groups to support mental health and well-being. In order to support our weekly PAWS sessions, PAWS+ requests are charged at $150/hr. 

PAWS+ is a 1- to 2-hour session scheduled between the hours of 9am-8pm, Monday thru Thursday. Fridays and Weekends are scheduled on a case-by-case basis. NOTE: PAWS+ sessions are typically not scheduled when the University is closed, or at the same time or within one hour of the start/stop of weekly PAWS sessions. Please see boynton.umn.edu/paws for our schedule and to confirm your request falls outside of those parameters. 

PAWS animals are well-loved on campus and unfortunately this means we cannot accommodate every request. PAWS+ requests are handled on a first-come, first-serve basis and must be received at 10 days prior to your scheduled event. An ideal PAWS+ space is an enclosed room/space that can comfortably hold all your participants and the PAWS teams. Removing as many tables and chairs as possible is also helpful. If you have any additional questions or a unique request that falls outside of these parameters, please contact Tanya Bailey, PAWS Program Manager, at tanya@umn.edu. 

Please complete the following form to request your PAWS+ session for the 2024 summer and the 2024-25 academic year.
