Our Mission & Impact Freedom Service Dogs (FSD) transforms lives by partnering people with custom-trained assistance dogs. Daily tasks and routines that many take for granted can be challenging and complex for a veteran or first responder with PTSD or TBI, an individual with limited mobility, or a young person with autism. Picking up a dropped phone, moving around in a busy public space, or withstanding a stressful environment can feel overwhelming if you don't have the necessary resources to navigate the situation.

At FSD, we purpose-breed and custom train dogs that empower individuals with disabilities to live lives filled with possibility. Since 1987, as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, FSD has graduated hundreds of teams and provided lifetime support services, all at no charge to our clients.

Our Values Lead the Pack: Commit to excellence in all we do Be the Person Your Dog Thinks You Are: Demonstrate integrity to build trust Work Together, Wag Together: Achieve shared goals while having fun Keep our Dogs in a Row: Steward all resources efficiently and effectively Unleash the Power of Diversity: We believe in harnessing the power of diversity to create a culture of belonging where all individuals are celebrated and valued for their unique ideas, perspectives, and strengths as a means to achieving personal excellence and organizational success.
