Our program, Xolos For Chronic Pain Relief™ (X-CPR™), seeks funding for its mission of providing Xolos (Mexican Hairless), unique service dogs: "HOT Dog" heating pads for chronic muscle pain.

Paws for Comfort® is developing a unique program for people with chronic pain who respond to heat therapy.

Xolos for Chronic Pain Relief™ (X-CPR™) is a service dog placement program which Paws For Comfort® envisions as a way to help others experience this amazing source of relief and comfort. Of course, all animals offer us companionship and comfort, and Xolos are not “better” than any other breed of service dog.

What is unique about Xolos is that they provide a service most other breeds can't: they are non-edible “Hot Dogs”! Their history of being “heating pads”, dates back 3500 years to the Ancient Aztecs, and in fact, Xolos were actually eaten because they believed the healing powers of the dogs would cure them when ingested (not recommended now!).

Like many other service dogs, Xolos are highly intelligent. They can be easily trained to do any service task (except for pulling a wheelchair, though they would try if it pleased you!).

Pink, Toaster’s hairless female, is an incredible retriever that sometimes it seems she must have golden retriever blood in her line somewhere! She knows over 14 items by name, including four remote control units of the entertainment system, the cell phone and cordless phone, and her newest trick is to retrieve the printer paper as it comes out of the printer! Without command!

She can pull of socks and pull on sleeves off sweaters to help undress, and can even pick up a coin or a credit card off the floor. These are but a few of the amazing things she can do with that tiny little mouth and not many teeth!

X-CPR breeding program is designed to match Xolo puppies with persons living with chronic pain conditions which respond to heat. These are some of the Xolos placed to be of service to owners with FMS, Arthritis, and other conditions with muscle pain.
