These exceptional qualities not only make them wonderful family companions but also ideal candidates for assistance dog work. At Freedom Service Dogs, we transform lives by partnering people with highly-skilled assistance dogs, professionally therapy dogs, and skilled companions, which is why we primarily train black, yellow, and chocolate Labs in our program.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on our community's support to help care for the 163 puppies and dogs in our assistance dog program. Pups like 1-year-old FSD Service Dog in training Nana, who recently made a miraculous recovery after being bitten by a rattlesnake that required extensive, life-saving veterinary care. Unfortunately, we have incurred multiple unexpected medical expenses this year that have strained our resources. When you contribute any amount to Nana and Friend's Medical Fund, you're ensuring that our future Freedom Service Dog superstars continue to receive the highest level of care they need as they grow to become life-changing assistance dogs. A special thanks to FSD volunteers Dean and Margo Fiala for generously jumpstarting our campaign with a $20,000 donation! To give a gift to FSD and learn more about Nana's harrowing story of surviving a rattlesnake bite (as well as tips to avoiding rattlesnake encounters and what to do if your pet is bitten) visit the link below!
