At Retrieving Independence, transformation happens every day through trust, responsibility, hard work, and the bond between people and dogs.
This year, our dog trainers at three Tennessee correctional facilities are joining RI’s first-ever 5K by walking in solidarity from their facilities at the very same time as the race. Though miles apart, we’ll be moving together with one shared purpose: changing lives through working dogs.
Your support honors the dedication of these trainers and helps fund the care, training, and placement of dogs that bring greater independence, confidence, and hope to people across Tennessee.
Thank you for walking alongside us and believing in dignity, new beginnings, purpose, and possibility.
