Semper K9’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for wounded service members and their families by providing them custom-trained service dogs at no cost. Providing this service allows more independence for caregivers. Occasionally a service dog is provided to the caregiver.
Semper K9 also offers a Family Integration Program that trains and counsels caregivers & children who live within the DMV area who have received a service dog from an organization accredited by the Association of Service Dog Providers for Military Veterans.
