Laura and Mike Dennis have always enjoyed making road trips, and since 2022, they have put their love of the highway to good use as FSD transport volunteers. Mike and Laura ferry puppies and dogs on travels within Colorado and to other states with their English bulldog, Diesel, along for the ride. Says Mike, “We are a retired military family, and we enjoy supporting the Freedom Service Dogs mission; it is important to us.”

While our adorable puppies often steal the spotlight and our highly skilled service dogs carry out our mission, it’s the mama dogs at FSD that are the heart of our organization.

Twice a month, Helen and Cal come to Freedom Service Dogs with Tibetan singing bowls in their bags, healing in their hands, and love in their hearts. As part of our canine enrichment program, these talented and devoted volunteers bring soothing sounds and relaxing energy work to our puppies and dogs.

Have you ever wondered how we provide medical care for the hundreds of puppies and dogs at FSD? The answer is: It takes a village!

We’ve collected the most common reasons why people think they can’t volunteer to raise an FSD puppy—and why we say, “Yes, you can!”
