WOODBRIDGE, New Jersey, March 21, 2019 — A Navy veteran will be receiving a service dog as part of the centerpiece event of a fundraiser that is scheduled for Sunday, April 28, 2019 in Neptune, New Jersey. The fundraiser is for the organization Rebuilding Warriors, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides highly trained and socialized service/companion dogs to honorably discharged veterans, as well as first responders, who are suffering from service-related injuries – from amputees to those with traumatic brain injuries to those with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

“Service K9s have proven to be a great therapeutic relief for those suffering from the emotional side-effects of warfare, and they can have profound effects on veterans’ self-esteem and socialization,” says Rebuilding Warriors founder, Jeff Anderson.

Navy Veteran Shawn Murphy will be receiving his Service K9 during a 4:00 p.m. ceremony to be held at the 5th annual Rebuilding Warriors Fundraiser, which is set for 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Headliner night club in Neptune, said Jeff Mullins, vice president of Rebuilding Warriors and a resident of the Fords section of Woodbridge
