WHO WE ARE
Operation Freedom Paws is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers veterans, first responders, children, and other individuals with disabilities by teaching them to train a rescued dog to support those disabilities and certifying them as service dog teams. Though this therapeutic human-canine relationship, individuals with disabilities learn to regain their independence and re-engage in their communities. Service dog training programs can cost an individual anywhere between 20K-60K. To date, our team has been honored to provide 511 clients and their family members with OFP's 48-week training program including mentorship, service dogs, mental health counseling, food and gas cards, and temporary housing, at no cost to them. You, our supporters, make it possible to save lives at both ends of the leash and heal families.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
"My experience with OFP has been life-saving; this program has given me a support system in spite of the VA and saved me from joining the 22 a day (veteran suicides). OFP has trained me to navigate life post-military and has given me the tools to be in public as well as in family life."
FEATURING GREAT LIVE MUSIC WITH BROOKE AND EMIL
This very talented duo plays everything from the classic to modern hits. We want to thank these big-hearted musicians for bringing their talents to our event to create a really entertaining evening for our community and to help raise vital funds for our service dog teams.
