Make An Impact, Change A Life

Retrieving Freedom Puppy Raisers give our future Service Dogs the best possible start. By fostering a puppy during the earliest and most critical months, you’ll help teach basic obedience, house manners, and expose them to new experiences that build confidence. These are the foundational skills that prepare each dog to serve a Veteran with a disability or a child with autism.

The Need Has Never Been Greater

Nationwide, the demand for Service Dogs is rising—while volunteer numbers are declining. A recent New York Times article highlighted this urgent need, especially for Veterans and children with autism. At Retrieving Freedom, we’re preparing to welcome 60 new dogs in 2025. But before they can transform lives, they need love, stability, and training from someone like you.

No experience? No problem. As a Puppy Raiser, you’ll receive obedience training and full support from our team. You just need time, commitment, and the heart to raise a hero. Whether you're in Missouri or Iowa, you can start today:
