Fidos for Freedom Stroll on Saturday
Fidos for Freedom, a non-profit that trains and provides service dogs and hearing dogs to those who can't do everything for themselves, is having a fund-raising walk on Saturday.
The group, which also has a therapy dog program and a D.E.A.R. (Dogs Educating and Assisting Readers) program, is having its annual Fall Stroll 'n Roll on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at Centennial Lake in Ellicott City. Since it's Halloween, costumed dogs are welcome.
Fidos is asking for a minimum donation of $20/person and encourage groups to form teams. There will be raffles, vendors and a flyball demonstration.

This is an awesome charity to support. These dogs are amazing and it's uplifting to see the process by which they are trained and paired with a person to assist. FIDOS has heart and sould and they are a fun bunch of animals, and so are their dogs!!! Please join me in supporting Fidos for Freedom based in Laurel, MD. Come on out to the Stroll "N Roll this weekend. Details at

I can't thank Fidos enough. They provided my mother-in-law with an assistance dog and that dog has changed her life!
I'll definitely be at the Stroll n Roll tomorrow. Thanks Fidos!

Jill, thank you for spreading the word about the Stroll 'n Roll We had a great turnout and the rain held out. We almost saw the sun a few times, and the temperature was perfect. Thank you all who donated to the cause!
