Fundraising Goal
Together, we can raise $35,000.
Every gift helps provide the training, care, and community behind an OFP service dog team. Give today to help the next client begin their journey.
What your gift makes possible
A service dog. A community. Support for life.
At Operation Freedom Paws, clients learn to train their own service dogs through a 48-week program, with support that reaches far beyond the classroom. Your gift helps provide:
-
Service dog training: Hands-on instruction and guidance as clients and their dogs learn to work together.
-
Mental health support: Access to therapists, peer support, and a community that understands.
-
Care for each dog: Veterinary care, food, and equipment that support a healthy partnership.
-
Practical assistance: Help with barriers such as transportation and temporary housing so clients can participate.
-
Lifetime support: An ongoing connection to OFP after graduation, because being part of this community does not end when training does.
These services are provided at no cost to our clients. Donors like you make that possible.
Your generosity helps the next team begin.
For someone living with a disability, greater independence can mean returning to familiar places, reconnecting with loved ones, or feeling more confident taking part in everyday life.
Your gift helps OFP provide the training and support that make those steps possible. Together, we can open that opportunity to more people and give rescued dogs a new purpose along the way.
The impact reaches beyond the leash.
Every OFP partnership has its own story. Through training, patience, and the support of a community, clients work toward the things that matter most to them.
The impact can be felt in everyday moments: leaving home with greater confidence, spending time with family, or finding connection again.
This Giving Tuesday, you can help another story begin.
Help the next service dog team begin.
Make your Giving Tuesday gift today and help us reach $35,000.
Whether you give $25, $50, $100, or another meaningful amount, your generosity supports the training, mental health services, and ongoing care behind each partnership.
Thank you for helping save lives at both ends of the leash.
