Service dogs can help in many ways.
They can be trained to provide a buffer zone between their human and others, recognize repetitive motions and respond, alert to the approach of someone from behind, guide their human to a safe place, interrupt nightmares and many other important tasks.
4 Paws 2 Freedom offers owner train service dog courses for Military, Military Veterans, First Responders and Civilians.
The yearlong course is free to qualified Veterans and First Responders.
Your donation will help a Veteran or First Responder get the service dog they need to help mitigate PTSD.
4 Paws 2 Freedom offers Facility Dog Training to Agencies whose employees are at risk of Traumatic Injury.
Facility Dogs are trained and placed in Law Enforcement and Fire Departments to help ground people after difficult calls.
