Service Dogs 4 Servicemen

Service Dogs 4 Servicemen SD4SM is a Non-Profit organization training and placing Service Dogs with Combat Veterans and First Responders. We started our first Hero dog in May 2011.

Service Dogs 4 Servicemen, Inc., ServiceDogs4Servicemen.com is a Non-Profit 501c3 organization whose mission is to place fully-trained Service Dogs with US Military men and women Veterans in need of PTSD Support and/or mobility Assistance. Affording a high-quality Service Dog is often difficult for those on Veteran’s Benefits. SD4SM is here to provide excellent Service Dogs at NO or LOW cost to the Veteran. We rely on donations and fund-raising to support the overhead expenses of Housing, Caring for, and Training a Service Dog. Veterans are selected through an application process and matched with an appropriate Service Dog. Training can also be provided for those veterans who already have a dog ready for training. We provide on-going training and assistance for the Veteran/Service Dog Team and their families for the life of their dogs, as well as educational programs for both public and private entities. Our Service Dog programs are our way of saying "Thank You" to the men and women who serve our country. The "Hero Project" works exclusively with rescued or donated and sponsored dogs to train as Service Dogs for Veterans. Many of our dogs are breeds like the Greyhound that is not typical for Service work. Service Dogs 4 Servicemen is the first organization in Florida to use Ex-racing Greyhounds. The program specializes in PTSD Support & Mobility Assistance. The "Hero Project" is at Zero Cost to the veteran. Daniel De La Rosa, SD4SM President/Trainer focuses his time and efforts to personally train each Hero Dog. Four years later we have trained and placed the 12th fully sponsored Service Dog for a veteran in Las Vegas, Nevada. This program is the "brainchild" of our Founder/Chair, Sara Donadei. Her grandfather was a WWII veteran with two greyhounds that learned to become his self-taught Service Dogs. In the spirit of using unusual breeds, SD4SM has placed it's first Cane Corso Service Dog for PTSD and Mobility Assistance. Zeus is a great help to his veteran. Other breeds include, Chihuahua, Pit Bull Terriers, and also typical breeds like Labradors and German Shepherds. The "Outreach Program" is our Self Trainer program. It is for veterans who already have a dog they wish to train as their Service Dog. This Self Trainer program is 6 months of One on One training with a veteran and their dog. The Dennis M. And Lois A. Doyle Family were so impressed with Daniel De La Rosa’s Service Dogs 4 Servicemen program they wanted to offer partial scholarships to veterans wishing to train their own dogs to certification. Dennis Doyle said: ” We have great esteem for our veterans and thought Daniel’s Program was so well designed for those veterans that would benefit from having a Service Animal as a companion. We hope others will join us in assisting those who have given us our freedom and democracy” This a part of the Self Trainer program.

Rescue Dog Training with 15 mo old Malinois. Board & Train Day 2. Destiny was due to be euthanized. A wonderful family adopted her. It took 2 days of meeting her for her to accept me. She was quite aggressive. I am her 3rd trainer. I look forward to helping her become a better dog in the world. So far, so good. DanielDeLaRosaDogs.com
