At Freedom Service Dogs, we unleash the potential of dogs by transforming them into custom-trained, life-changing assistance dogs for people in need. The clients we serve live with disabilities like autism, traumatic brain injury (TBI), multiple sclerosis (MS), muscular dystrophy (MD), Down syndrome, cerebral palsy (CP), spinal cord injuries, and more. We also serve veterans with post-traumatic stress (PTS); however, we do not provide service dogs for non-military civilians diagnosed with PTS. FSD has been recognized nationally for its innovative approach and life-changing work. Since 1987, FSD has graduated hundreds of client-dog teams. Dogs that are not suitable for service dog work - or “career change” dogs, as we lovingly refer to them - are adopted into forever homes.
To start the process, clients must submit a completed application. Interviews will be scheduled only when all portions of the application have been received by FSD: Client portion; Medical form (to be completed by your doctor); Video/photo outline; Two letters of reference. FSD will keep your entire application confidential. Your video/photo and written application will become the property of Freedom Service Dogs, Inc. A completed background check (Part B of the application) is required in order for us to schedule an interview. A conviction will not necessarily prevent you from receiving a dog.
