Welcome to the Southern Cross Service Dogs, your gateway to discovering our mission and impact. We’re honored to introduce you to a world where extraordinary service dogs transform lives and create hope.
Our founder, Brandon Marquez along with our Director of Operations, Joey Samuels are the foundation of Southern Cross Service Dogs. Both were dog handlers for the elite Marine Corp. Special Operations Command, their commitment to service and their understanding of the value a service dog provides is at the heart of our organization. Along with Co-Founder and Executive Director Matthew Krug, who bring 30 years of leadership experience, this team is focused on doing great things.
Southern Cross Service Dogs was founded to enrich lives by pairing exceptionally trained service dogs with those in need. Our focus, particularly on U.S. veterans, seeks to provide increased independence and self-reliance.
