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. By joining our pack, you have the opportunity to make a real impact in the lives of service members and contribute to their increased independence and well-being.

πΎ This Giving Tuesday, YOU can change a veteranβs life πΎ
Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity β a moment where we come together to give back and create impact that stretches far beyond today.
This year, weβre asking our community to stand with us in support of the veterans we serve.
At Southern Cross Service Dogs, every dog we raise has one mission: to support a veteran who truly needs them.
The cost of raising, caring for, and training these dogs is significant, but the impact is absolutely life-changing.
Your Giving Tuesday support goes directly into their journey:
β’ High-quality nutrition to keep them healthy
β’ Veterinary care and preventative medicine
β’ Training equipment, outings, and socialization
β’ Professional, hands-on training from puppyhood to placement
Every dollar helps us prepare the next service dog who will one day stand beside a veteran.
π€Join us today and be part of something life-changing.

πΊπΈ Happy 250th Birthday, United States Marine Corps! πΊπΈ
Today we proudly celebrate 250 years of honor, courage, and commitment. The legacy of the Marine Corps runs deep within Southern Cross Service Dogs, not just in our mission, but in our very name and design.
Did you know that Southern Cross pays homage to the Marine Corps Raiders, the elite warriors who set the standard for excellence and sacrifice?
The Southern Cross constellation represents the historic achievements of Marines during the Pacific campaign of WWII, especially on Guadalcanal. From 1942 to 1944, the Raiders embodied the fighting spirit of the Corps β a legacy that lives on today through the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC), formally recognized as Marine Raiders in 2015.
The Raider insignia β a closed skull surrounded by the Southern Cross constellation β symbolizes bravery, unity, and the relentless pursuit of mission success. Itβs an emblem that continues to inspire everything we do at Southern Cross Service Dogs.
Semper Fidelis, Marines. π¦
