ABOUT FREEDOM SERVICE DOGS
At Freedom Service Dogs (FSD), we believe dogs can make a profound difference in the everyday lives of people challenged by disabilities.
Daily tasks and routines that many take for granted can be challenging and complex for a veteran or first responder with PTSD or a traumatic brain injury, as well as individuals with physical disabilities or autism. Picking up a dropped phone, moving around in a busy public space, or withstanding a stressful environment can feel overwhelming if you don’t have the necessary resources to navigate the situation. At FSD, we purpose breed and custom train dogs who empower individuals with disabilities to live lives filled with possibility.
Possibility demands innovation and ongoing client support to ensure long-term successful partnerships. Possibility mandates dedication and commitment to our mission. It requires us to continually ask “what’s possible” for those living with a disability. We know that when people feel able and empowered, they feel confidence and self worth. And when they feel confident, they believe their life has greater meaning. Whether you call it hope, optimism, inspiration, or something else altogether, at FSD we call it our passion. It’s what drives us every day to breed, raise, train, match, place, and support the highest caliber assistance dogs possible.
As an accredited Assistance Dog International (ADI) organization, we adhere to the highest standards of training, client services, and dog health, safety, and wellbeing. So, when we place a dog into a position best suited for their temperament and skills for a career of service, work providing therapeutic support within a facility, or as a skilled companion, we rest assured that humans and dogs alike benefit from our thoughtful care and expertise.
MISSION
We transform lives by partnering people with custom-trained assistance dogs.
VISION
We envision a world where individuals have the freedom to live their lives to the fullest with a custom-trained assistance dog by their side.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
We believe in harnessing the power of diversity to create a culture of belonging where all individuals are celebrated and valued for their unique ideas, perspectives, and strengths as a means to achieving personal excellence and organizational success.

Our write-up
Freedom Service Dogs of America is in our directory because we went looking for resources in this category and confirmed theirs is real and serving this community. What you see above is their own description, quoted from their site.

In the meantime, their official site is the authority: freedomservicedogs.org

Are you Freedom Service Dogs of America?
This page was written about you, not by you. We built it because the people we serve were already looking for you and deserved a straight answer about what you do. If anything here is wrong, out of date, or puts it badly, we would rather hear it from you than leave it up.
Claiming it gives you an account here and a route to request changes — corrections, new programs, updated events. Those requests are handled by Meridian Tech, our partner, under their subscription service. You are not editing this page yourself, and we would rather say that plainly now than have you find out after you sign up.
“Claim this page” opens a checkout on milconnect.com, where you set up your organization's account. Being listed here is free, and staying listed is free. Meridian Tech — the company that also builds and runs MILCONNECT.AI — provides the account and the update service, and the AI Workspace is their paid product. We are telling you about a commercial relationship before you act on it rather than after, because you are a nonprofit being asked to spend money and you deserve to see the whole shape of it first. If anything on this page is simply wrong, email us and we will fix it for free; that never requires a subscription.
This page is maintained by MILCONNECT.AI and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authored by Freedom Service Dogs of America. It is a directory entry compiled from community recommendations. We do not rate, rank or endorse anything in this directory, and being listed here is not a recommendation — clinical or otherwise. We are not a medical provider and cannot tell you whether a program is right for you. Check eligibility, cost and current status with the organization directly before you rely on it.
