Review for Fidos For Freedom Inc, Laurel, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

So about 10 yrs ago, my life fell apart! Literally; My best friend in the world, my husband, passed away from cancer. The last gift he gave me right before he died, was my sweet golden/lab puppy named Max. Max was special from the start and so many friends told me "You should make him a Therapy dog". My vet recommended I go to Fidos For Freedom in Laurel as they did Therapy work at numerous local health care facilities. I figured giving back and focusing on helping others might be the best ticket to my own recovery; so off I went. Once we started visiting the nursing homes, the children's homes, the hospitals and so many other health care places, I began to realize what an amazing organization Fidos for Freedom really is. They not only bring comfort and joy to many many people in health care and residentail facilites; they help the patients, the staff and the families! Then I also found out they train assistance animals for the mobility and hearing impaired. These specially trained dogs are raised and trained and then become the life line for our clients for many years to come. WOW! what an organization; they do therapy dog work; they do assistance dog work; they help people in so many ways all over the Baltimore Washington area. I am proud and honored to be a part of such a special organziation!!! Check them out!! they are open to the public on Wed nights from 6:30pm to 8:30pm and on Sat mornings from 10am to 11am ; you can get a really good doggie fix and see what this great organization does!!
