      Who We Are

4 Paws 2 Freedom arises from the experience of Military Veterans and First Responders with mental health disabilities who have gained personal freedom through a trained service dog.

              Our Mission

Bernese Mountain Dog with a white chest, brown markings, and a happy expression.

                    Empower survivors of traumatic                     injury with a compassionate approach to recovery.

Service Dogs are Life Changing

Service dogs can help in many ways.

They can be trained to provide space between their handler and others, interrupt repetitive behaviors, alert to the approach of someone from behind, guide their handler to a safe place, interrupt nightmares, and perform many other important tasks.


4 Paws 2 Freedom offers a owner train service dog program for Military, Veterans, First Responders, and Civilians with mental health disabilities

The program cost for qualified Veterans and First Responders is covered through grants and generous donors.
