Ottens Outdoor Power Equipment Joins RFI’s Business Alliance as a Platinum Member

Retrieving Freedom, Inc. is excited to welcome Ottens Outdoor Power Equipment as our newest Platinum Business Alliance Member. With a generous pledge of $100,000, Ottens is helping us train, care for, and place Service Dogs with Veterans with disabilities and children with autism. Owners Ryan Pummill and Russell Childers bring both business strength and personal passion to this partnership.

“Ottens Outdoor Power Equipment is proud to partner with Retrieving Freedom in support of their incredible mission. For one of the owners, Ryan Pummill, a 22-year U.S. Army Veteran and former special operations pilot, this cause holds a deeply personal meaning. Having witnessed firsthand the challenges many Veterans face after service, Ryan is passionate about supporting an organization that truly makes a difference. Retrieving Freedom transforms lives by training and placing highly skilled Service Dogs with Veterans and children with autism, helping restore independence while providing essential emotional support.” – Ottens Outdoor Power Equipment

A unique benefit of Platinum membership is the opportunity to name two Retrieving Freedom puppies. We were proud to introduce our newest recruits, Otten and RJay, named in honor of this partnership.

With support from partners like Ottens Outdoor Power Equipment, even more Veterans, children, and families will share in the impact of life-changing partnerships, one Service Dog at a time.
