Programs we provide dogs to agree to our only three requirements:


1. The recipient is a veteran, first responder, or their family member

2. The recipient NEVER pays a dime for their trained service dog

3. We reserve the right to recover and recareer any dog that doesn’t graduate from their program.

Josey Ranch Pet Hospital is a veterinary reproduction clinic that offers canine reproductive services ranging from breeding and infertility issues to Cesarean sections. We are a Zoetis freeze center and take pride in providing in-depth client education and being as available as possible for your dogs breeding needs.    

This is simply THE BEST reproductive vet in the DFW area. Josey Ranch Pet Hospital is our reproductive vet, and our OFA Hip/Elbow exam Veterinarian. They are available 24/7 during whelping and do thorough tip-to-tail exams on all our puppies before they go to service dog programs. I have yet to visit with them and NOT learn something!

Leashes of Valor

Dog Tag Buddies

Dog Tag Buddies is focused on helping veterans live more fulfilling lives through training and building a relationship with their dog. This helps them find methods to recognize and manage the symptoms of their disabilities, discourages self-isolation, and helps find a renewed sense of purpose.
IOWA Service Dogs
Dedicated to helping first responders and veterans who have served their country and community reintegrate into civilian life by training and providing mobility and psychiatric service dogs at no charge.
K9s For Warriors is ending veteran suicide and returning our warriors to a life of dignity and independence. We rescue and train shelter dogs to be paired as Service Dogs for warriors with service-connected Post-Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury and/or Military Sexual Trauma.

Valor Service Dogs is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization that helps wounded post-9/11 veterans and first responders regain their independence, return to civilian life, and maintain successful partnerships through the training and placing of mobility assistance and PTSD service dogs. In addition to aiding veterans and first responders in community reintegration, both physically and psychologically, Valor Service Dogs bring awareness and education to the general public on service dogs, their training, and the laws that allow service dogs to be active members of society.

Dogs know much more about us than we think.

Dogs can sense how we’re feeling, and trained service dogs are even more in tune with their veteran handler. By providing physical and/or emotional support, a service dog can increase a veteran’s physical, emotional, and social self-sufficiency.

Where Some See Limitations,
We Bring Opportunities

Our goal at Retrieving Freedom is to place and match completely trained assistance dogs with a level of commitment to recipients that is second to none! As strong as our desire is to train the best service dogs, that’s only one component. The other part comes from the connection between the dog and the recipient.

Bring out the best in your K9.
