In honor of World Kindness Day, we’re sharing a story that reminds us what kindness in action truly looks like.

When Norah was matched with her Service Dog, Porter, her world began to open up in ways her family once thought impossible. Porter now joins her everywhere, from speech therapy and school assemblies to her sisters’ volleyball games, bringing comfort, calm, and confidence with every step.

Her mom shared, “Simply put, he makes every part of her day better and easier.”

This is the power of compassion, connection, and the incredible impact a Service Dog can make.

This Veterans Day, we’re celebrating Braxton and his Service Dog, Elton.

Braxton, a proud Veteran, knew firsthand the difference a Service Dog can make. After training his first Service Dog, Niko, on his own, Braxton recognized it was time to find his next partner when Niko began to slow down. He reached out to Retrieving Freedom to continue the journey toward greater independence and stability.

When Braxton met Elton, the bond was instant. The two have become an incredible team, and Elton has even become best friends with Niko. Watching Elton step into his new role with enthusiasm and heart has been inspiring.

A heartfelt thank-you to Chive Charities for their generosity in helping make this placement possible. Partnerships like Braxton and Elton’s remind us what our mission is all about — honoring Veterans by giving them the tools and support they deserve.
