Our Mission
Speeding the recovery and enhancing the lives of wounded military heroes through the use of specialty-trained service dogs.
Freedom Dogs is a nonprofit organization devoted to serving wounded members of the military who are being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or other physical impairments. Along with our trainers, our specialty service dogs provide both physical and emotional support, helping wounded warriors successfully make the challenging transition back to civilian life, or in some cases, return to active duty.
Working closely with active military and Veterans in Southern California, our organization provides custom-trained dogs through two free programs. The Partner Program pairs a dog and trainer team with a warrior to complement rehabilitation and assist in the recovery process. If needed, the Partner for Life Program matches a dog with a warrior for life.
Partner Program
Through this program, a skilled dog/trainer team pairs up and works with a wounded warrior assigned to them by the Wounded Warrior Battalion – West over a period of about nine months...
Partner for Life Program
In some cases, a warrior will need more long-term support than our Partner Program can provide. This may become apparent after working with a warrior for a period of time. Then, a dog may be placed with this person for the rest of the dog’s life...
Raise a Pup
At Freedom Dogs, we pair specially trained service dogs with active-duty military and veterans recovering from PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and other combat-related challenges. These dogs do more than assist—they heal, empower, and restore hope...
