OFP is a 501(c)3 nonprofit empowering veterans, first responders, and kids with disabilities, pairing them with rescued dogs, to create lifesaving teams.
What an amazing night at our OFP Annual Crab Feed on Sat.!🦀 Gratitude to all who bid, donated, volunteered, & joined us! Special thanks to our client Saagar for sharing how the program has impacted his life. The funds raised will help #veterans like him reclaim their futures.🙏
Rain, high winds, and building maintenance - this team handles it all like the pros they are! They’ve kept everything running smoothly, ensuring OFP service dogs and public dogs get the best care—rain or shine.

"Jojo has been a spectacular tool I didn't even know I needed. It is amazing how he can sense that I am getting anxious ... I talk to him all the time, so he helps me with my awareness and surroundings."
-Veteran Dave with his service dog, Jojo

@Opfreedompaws Therapy Dog Teams had a great visit to Gilroy Healthcare & Rehab Center. The trainees loved spending time with Abigail & Riggins and were grateful for the recharge. We're proud to support these healthcare heroes! 💙✨ #OFP#TherapyDogs#HealthcareHeroes
