Freedom Service Dogs group on CBS News Friday
The “CBS Evening News with Katie Couric” on Friday has scheduled a segment on the Freedom Service Dogs organization.
The nonprofit, which is based in Englewood, rescues dogs from shelters, then trains them for between seven and 10 months to be companions for military veterans who have disabilities from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s part of FSD’s Operaton Freedom program.
CBS spent March 23 with Freedom Service Dogs. It first visited the Denver Municipal Shelter and filmed an FSD trainer rescuing a dog. Then CBS went to the FSD facility in Englewood, where it taped trainers working with the dogs, as well as footage of service members and veterans working with dogs in training.
