At Southern Cross Service Dogs, our mission of providing exceptional service dogs to individuals with disabilities is made possible by the dedication and support of our incredible volunteers.

🇺🇸 Kicking off Veteran Appreciation Month the best way we know how — surrounded by our brothers and sisters in arms.
This weekend, we joined local veterans at the Horizon West American Legion, Post 419 for the Veterans Appreciation 5K Fun Run and 3rd Annual “Be the One” Ruck/Walk. It was an incredible morning celebrating camaraderie, community, and the strength that unites us all.
A huge thank you to the supporting organizations who showed up strong — all veterans and proud members of our local American Legion. Your continued dedication reminds us what service looks like, long after the uniform comes off.
