Raising Funds to Support Life-Saving Programs

Our organization was founded in 2014 by OEF/OIF United States Marine Christopher Baity. Baity served as kennel master for Headquarters Marine Corps Henderson Hall during his nine years in the Marine Corps, among other billets, while in Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan. After leaving the Marine Corps, he worked many contracts as a K9 handler, including anti-piracy, entomology, and with the IRS. In 2014, he co-founded Semper K9 with his wife Amanda. They met in their Marine Corps JROTC program in high school on the west side of Atlanta.

For the past decade, Semper K9 has been dedicated to transforming lives through the power of service dogs. We are immensely proud to have reached this momentous occasion, marking not only years of service but also the impact made on over 100 individuals and their families.

Reflecting on a decade of unwavering commitment, we extend our deepest gratitude to our supporters, volunteers, and the incredible community that has made this journey possible. We have created a legacy of empowerment, independence, and companionship.

Join us in celebrating this achievement, and looking forward to many more years of making a positive difference in the lives of those who have served. Here’s to a decade of dedication, a century of success, and countless more lives changed!
