Fidos creating Freedom in Laurel
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of touring the Fidos for Freedom facility on Sandy Spring Road and meeting with Executive Director Diane Bernier.
Fidos' non-profit mission is: to enhance quality of life for veterans experiencing PTSD, those who are mobility impaired, and those who are hearing impaired with dogs that are specially trained to provide companionship, service, and therapy.
Check out this 1-minute video to see an example of just some of the things they can do:
What a great organization impacting the lives of others for the better. Diane and her team would love for you to connect to learn more about Fidos for Freedom, such as:
- If you’re a dog lover and would like to be a part, such as being part of the puppy-raising team (a joy!) :)
- If you’re a veteran or mobility/ hearing-impaired and would like to benefit from the companionship of a specially trained dog just for you
- If you’re age 12 - 17 and want to join the “Juniors” program to learn more (plus earn school service hours along the way) - a great way also for those interested in a veterinary path
- If you’d like to donate to the cause to help others
- Would just like to learn more
And mark your calendars because Fidos for Freedom’s annual Bow Wow Bash fundraising banquet is coming up on October 25 with all-you-can eat buffet, music, live & silent auction, and more!
So check out the links above for how you can get involved, and thank you Fidos for Freedom for your service to the people of Laurel and our region!
