Semper Fido, Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to the rehabilitation of service members and veterans that have been injured while defending our country and have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or traumatic brain injuries (TBI). It has been proven that using dogs for mental as well as physical rehabilitation can greatly benefit these warriors’ recovery.
We are committed to helping in the rehabilitation of these brave warriors while saving unwanted animals from shelters and rescues. Our service dogs will be obtained from a number of sources including, but not limited to, rescue groups and shelters. Our organization benefits both parties involved; those who sacrificed themselves for our freedoms, and the dogs that may have had no hope of a forever home.
Each service dog is trained over the course of a 4-6 month program. During these 4-6 months, the service members bonds with the dogs by feeding, walking, playing with and grooming them. The service member is taught to use the commands the dog has learned from the professional dog trainers. Upon completion of the program, the dog graduates to the service member at no cost and receives a diploma for advanced off leash training. The dog then goes home with the service member.
