Why It Matters
Operation Freedom Paws is a nonprofit that empowers veterans, first responders, children, and individuals with disabilities by teaching them to train rescue dogs to become their medical lifelines.
All proceeds from the Paws with Patriots Wine Gala directly support our no-cost service dog training program and the clients and families we serve. Together, we are restoring independence, confidence, and connection, one service dog team at a time.
