Volunteer With Us
Volunteers Are At The Heart Of Everything We Do

Why Volunteer?
Volunteers are essential to our mission. Whether it’s lending a hand at our Missouri or Iowa facilities or helping in the community, your time helps us stay focused on training and placing Service Dogs.
Even a few hours of support can help shorten the wait for Veterans and children counting on a life-changing companion.
Ways You Can Help
Whether you have a few hours or a group ready to serve, there are meaningful ways to get involved. Volunteers assist with vet transports, weekend fostering, facility upkeep, landscaping, painting, and even vehicle or equipment repairs.
Have a business or organization? Host a Service Day and make a hands-on impact as a team!
Believe In The Impact
Every Service Dog begins their journey with the help of someone like you—someone willing to show up, give back, and believe in the impact of small, consistent acts of care.
By volunteering with Retrieving Freedom, you're not just helping train a dog—you're giving a Veteran peace of mind, offering a child with autism comfort and connection, and becoming part of a mission that truly matters.
