WHY WE EXIST
22 Veterans a day, over 8000 a year, commit suicide on American Soil.
Many American Heroes return home to find their greatest battle still awaits. For a Veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) the battle is never over. They come home and find everything has changed… because they have been changed.
OUR MISSION
NORTHWEST BATTLE BUDDIES GIFTS PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED SERVICE DOGS TO VETERANS BATTLING PTSD, HELPING THEM REGAIN THEIR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE.
There is no cure for PTSD, but service dogs can reduce PTSD symptoms with life-changing — results. With a canine Battle Buddy by their side, Veterans with PTSD can regain their freedom and independence.
All our service dogs spend 5+ months in intensive training, then are carefully matched with a Veteran handler for five more weeks of training and bonding, creating the ultimate partnership.
