Semper Fido

Semper Fido is a non-profit organization based in Marlton, NJ, dedicated to rehabilitating service members and veterans who have been injured while defending the country and diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or traumatic brain injuries (TBI). They provide service dogs obtained from various sources, including breeders, rescue groups, and shelters, to aid in the mental and physical rehabilitation of these brave warriors, while also saving unwanted animals. Through a 4-6 month training program, the service members bond with the dogs, learning to use the commands taught by professional dog trainers, resulting in a certified service dog team that brings comfort, emotional regulation, and improved confidence to veterans suffering from PTSD and other related conditions.

Semper Fido's mission is to unite wounded veterans with rescued dogs trained as service dogs, fostering a healing and rejuvenating bond between them. By providing a positive, non-judgmental, and unconditional relationship, Semper Fido aims to address the needs of both veterans and dogs, offering support and companionship to those who have sacrificed themselves for the country's freedoms. Through their volunteer efforts and reliance on donations, Semper Fido ensures that the dogs receive proper training, veterinary care, and nourishment throughout their training period, all at no cost to the veterans in need. The organization is grateful for the support of The Patriot Fund, Inc., and welcomes applications from veterans seeking service dogs for their PTSD or TBI.
