New Year Charity Drive
 Future Solutions, Inc. is ringing in the New Year with our Charity Drive that you get to participate in. Our feature charity this month is Freedom Service Dogs. With every single order of $500 or more we will donate 10% of our net profit to this charity and post your name and agency online. Go to here to see previous charities and participants.
We are focusing on unique charities that may not have the national appeal as some of the larger charities. It is our hope that by involving you with our charity partnerships, we can all make a difference for someone who needs it. If there is a charity that you would like to see sponsored, please email vanessan@futuresolutionsinc.com. The charity must be a registered 501c3.
 Freedom Service Dogs, Inc. rescues dogs from area shelters and custom trains each dog to assist people with disabilities. Our custom trained service dogs assist their partners in day-to-day activities providing their human companions with a greater degree of independence and an overall higher quality of life.
Freedom Service Dogs custom trains these rescue dogs to be one of three (3) types of dogs: (a) certified service dog, (b) skilled companion dog or (c) social dog. FSD places dogs only in Colorado, so that we are able to provide a lifetime of hands-on support to ensure the success of the team.
- Certified Service Dogs –Full service dogs retrieve and carry objects; turn lights on and off; open and close doors; find a person; find the phone; push a LifeLine or 911 button; assist with pulling a wheelchair; help with transfers; brace and counterbalance ambulatory clients; and perform specialized tasks needed by the client. Certified service dogs have complete public access.
- Skilled Companion Dogs – Similar to full service dogs, skilled companion dogs perform specialized tasks as needed; retrieve thrown objects, find a person; push a LifeLine button; brace and counterbalance; stand for grooming, lie quietly when being read to; understand non-verbal commands; and provide a social bridge. Skilled companion dogs typically do not have full public access.
- Social Dogs – Social dogs serve as a link to the world , a companion, a much-needed and trusted “buddy” for those suffering emotional trauma. They are easier to talk to than people, and they provide an outlet for those who are experiencing emotional or social difficulty. An example of use for social dogs includes animal assisted therapy by a licensed physical, speech, occupational, social or other therapist or placement with children with autism.
Donations and Giving Programs
FSD service dogs are donated to people who are disabled. The cost to locate and train a service dog, including health, soundness, and temperament evaluations, plus the dog's care and equipment is more than $25,000. There are additional direct costs for client placement classes, public education, and lifetime support for the team. We depend on donations from the public - both individuals and organizations - and from grants to allow us to carry out our mission.
