Our goal is to place dogs in permanent, loving homes. Please complete this application so we can assist you in finding a special, compatible companion to join your family.  We do not place our dogs on a "first come, first served" basis, but rather try to match families with a dog based on best fit. With this information, we can minimize the risk of a failed placement by matching the right dog with you. Your answers will not necessarily disqualify you as an applicant.


PLEASE NOTE: All animals are the legal property of Freedom Service Dogs until the requisite Ownership Transfer Agreement is signed and all requirements of the Agreement are met. The dogs are placed in permanent homes at our discretion. Freedom Service Dogs may refuse to place a dog to anyone without providing a specific reason.

When submitting an application you will be automatically signed up to receive our monthly e-newsletter from Freedom Service Dogs.  You may opt out of email updates at any time.
