Mentoring Monday: While we continue to shelter in place as much as possible in accordance with County guidelines, OFP continues to conduct essential service dog training classes for our clients under mental health provisions. Although we can't hold classes for the public at this time, we are offering doggie daycare and boarding services. If you'd like more information about that, you can check out our website (operationfreedompaws.org) or the Kennel's Facebook page Operation Freedom Paws Dog Daycare & Boarding . All kennel proceeds go toward our service dog program for disabled veterans, children and non-veteran adults.
A new way to help our clients is through Chewy.com. You can donate either a Chewy gift card or specific items we need for the dogs we rescue and their handlers that we support while they're in training for about a year. Here's a link to our Chewy Wish List:
