Their programs include service dog training, facility dog placement, and veteran transition support. The organization operates primarily through donations and volunteer efforts, ensuring that veterans receive these life-changing animals without financial burden. Semper K9's unique approach involves the veteran in the training process, fostering a deep bond and therapeutic benefit from the start.
