Operation Freedom Paws Canada

is a non-profit organization that matches dogs with individuals who have Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), Complex-Post Traumatic Stress (CPTS) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) symptoms, or other physical, neurological, psychological or mobility needs.

What We Do

Serving those in need.

We train individuals to train their own dog, then certify them together as a service dog team. Most of our dogs come from rescue shelters. Each is matched to a specific client’s physical and psychological needs.

This unique opportunity enables our clients to feel safe and secure while they manage their day-to-day lives. The special therapeutic canine-human relationship helps them get back out in their communities and begin to view their future with renewed hope.

A hundred years of thank yous still wouldn’t feel like enough to explain how grateful I am to OFPC and its supporters. I have seen first-hand the amount of people that have had their lives absolutely changed and filled with hope again. Thank you for reminding me there is life after trauma and how to trust my dog.
