OES Service Dogs

As the primary and identifying charity, the Order of the Eastern Star advocates for qualified Service Dog programs and provides financial assistance to such organizations, aiding their efforts to serve mankind and to allow individuals to achieve independence.

Arkansas’ Service Dog Program has partnered with Fully Loaded K9 to train Service Dogs and US Veterans or individual. This is done at no cost or minimal cost to the US Veteran or individual. ALL proceeds will benefit this training program with Fully Loaded K9.

Fully Loaded K9 is having this event with the help of Arkansas Order of the Eastern Star Service Dog. We hope to raise funds for our Veteran Service Program with the help of the community. Our program is offered at no charge to veterans in need of service dog training. We are with them throughout their whole training journey. Helping them become one cohesive unit that can still go out and be on the same page in the world
