A fundraising effort to benefit Freedom Service Dogs in Englewood was a success, and Dogs of Denver is hosting a party. <\/p>\n
Freedom Service Dogs is a 27-year-old nonprofit that rescues abused or abandoned dogs from shelters and trains them to be helping partners for people with disabilities, including wounded veterans. <\/p>\n
Sean McNeil of McNeil Designer Portraits started Dogs of Denver to raise enough money to fund the training of one dog. He put together a coffee table book that features portraits of dogs from around the metro area whose owners paid $250 to have their dog photographed. <\/p>\n
The project raised more than $40,00 for Freedom Service Dogs. <\/p>\n
\"I have a rescue dog of my own, and when I heard about Freedom Service Dogs and what they do, I was sold,\" McNeil said in a news release. \"I knew that I needed to get out into the community and raise enough money to sponsor a dog for their program.\" <\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Oct. 22, McNeil and Dogs of Denver will host a launch party for the book at Lone Tree Brewing Company at 8200 Park Meadows Dr. from 6 to 8 p.m. No RSVP is necessary, and \"friends, family and pups\" are welcome to attend. <\/p>\n
