Four Paws. Two Feet. One Team.™
Operation Freedom Paws exists to save lives through human-canine service dog partnerships.
Operation Freedom Paws is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization doing life-saving work. For the veterans, first responders, non-veterans, and children we serve, the human-canine relationships built here are nothing short of a lifeline. Our clients and dogs share a bond like no other, and this relationship opens the door to a better, brighter future.
Holistic, Full-Cycle Support
OFP offers a uniquely holistic approach that includes partnering with providers of wraparound services that benefit both clients and their families. From training to therapy, support groups, and beyond, at OFP you will always have a safe and supportive place to heal.
The Client Leads the Way
By committing to a 48-week service dog training program and taking an active role in the training of the dog they’ve been paired with, OFP clients improve and change their own lives. The truly unique impact of our program is rooted in each client’s desire to take an active role in their own healing.
“Dogs with a job to do are a beautiful sight to behold, there’s dignity in the work and it’s evident in the way that they care for their human.”
