SERVICE DOGS 4 SERVICEMEN, INC.
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

Service Dogs 4 Servicemen, Inc. (SD4SM) is a registered Non-Profit organization under section 501(c)(3), dedicated to providing fully-trained Service Dogs to US Military veterans in need of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) support and/or mobility assistance. Headquartered at 308 SW 16th Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida with the filing number N11000005690, SD4SM facilitates access to high-quality Service Dogs for veterans largely reliant on VA benefits by offering these dogs at significantly reduced costs through sponsorship programs. Inaugurated in June 2011 and restructured through various actions up until October 6, 2014, the organization is actively involved in providing and supporting ongoing training and assistance for the veteran-dog teams, as well as extending educational resources to both public and private entities. This program not only serves as gratitude to military personnel but also enhances their daily lives post-service. SD4SM's service includes both initial placement of trained dogs and additional training for veterans who wish to train their own pets into Service Dogs. The organization has been praised for its effective team, including Daniel de la Rosa, the lead trainer credited with training 11 retired greyhound Service Dogs and one Cane Corso, all placed free of charge for veterans in need. These teams are integral in assisting veterans by reducing anxiety and increasing mobility. Led by President Daniel De La Rosa and Director Sara L Donadei-Blood among others, SD4SM ensures high standards within its services, advocating for proper public conduct of Service Dogs to maintain credibility and efficacy in support scenarios. The organization remains committed to serving the veteran community through partnerships, dedicated service, and educational outreach.
