Freedom Service Dogs
Lakewood, CO

The mission of Freedom Service Dogs is to rescue dogs from shelters and train them to assist people with disabilities, increasing independence and peace of mind. All of the dogs involved in the program are rescued from Colorado shelters and provided free of charge to clients. Dogs that do not excel as service dogs are fully trained and placed in adoptive homes as therapy dogs or pets.   Freedom Service Dogs has achieved a 100% placement of their dogs after training. They also conduct more than 100 outreach and educational events each year, creating increased public awareness about various mobility impairments, the positive impact service dogs have on the lives of people who are disabled and the rights and etiquette involving service dogs.
