OUR FOUNDER-
HEIDI SPIRAZZA
Paws 4 Liberty (P4L) was born from the vision and dedication of Heidi Spirazza, an Occupational Therapist specializing in animal-assisted therapy.
HER STORY
In 2006, inspired by the profound impact of 9/11 on our nation—particularly on our military men and women—Heidi founded P4L to address the growing need to support veterans. Recognizing the alarming rates of Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD) among post-9/11 veterans, Heidi combined her expertise with a deep sense of purpose to train service dogs for veterans diagnosed with PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and PTSD due to military sexual trauma (MST). The organization will always remain grateful for her vision and hard work.
