The program specializes in PTSD Support & Mobility Assistance. The “Hero Project” is at Zero Cost to the Veteran.
The “Hero Project” works exclusively with rescued or donated and sponsored ALL BREED Dogs to train as Service Dogs for Veterans. Many of our dogs are breeds like the Greyhound that is not typical for Service work.
Service Dogs 4 Servicemen is the first organization in Florida to use Ex-racing Greyhounds.
The program specializes in PTSD Support & Mobility Assistance. The “Hero Project” is at Zero Cost to the Veteran. Daniel De La Rosa, SD4SM President/Trainer focuses his time and efforts to personally train each Hero Dog.
We started our first Hero dog in May 2011. Four years later we have trained and placed the 12th fully sponsored Service Dog for a Veteran in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This program is the “brainchild” of our Founder/Chair, Sara Donadei. Her grandfather was a WWII Veteran with two greyhounds that learned to become his self-taught Service Dogs.
In the spirit of using unusual breeds, SD4SM has placed it’s first Cane Corso Service Dog for PTSD and Mobility Assistance.
Zeus is a great help to his Veteran. Other breeds include, Chihuahua, Pit Bull Terriers, and also typical breeds like Labradors and German Shepherds.
