K9 Battle buddies INC is a non-profit organization run by veterans for veterans. K9 Battle buddies trains rescued dogs to be service dogs for combat veterans and active duty with PTSD (Post Traumatic Brain Disorder) and/or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). Our goal is to offer immediate companionship by placing the battle buddy (rescue dog) with the veteran and then working with the veteran on training their buddy until they can pass our public access test. Our battle buddies are provided at no cost to the veteran. Every time battle buddies are paired two lives are saved, the life of our veteran who has served our country and the life of a rescue dog.

K9 Battle Buddies is partnered with several dog rescues who donate rescued dog’s to the program if the dog is a candidate for service training. This allows us to help mature dogs who are either at a local animal shelter or in a rescue facility who may not otherwise get adopted
because of their age.
All dogs are vet checked prior to the starting training, and on a regular basis as deemed necessary by a licensed veterinarian, while in training.
They are all given a second chance at life. The dogs that we rescue come from a broken home or abandoned on the side of the road. Many times theses dogs need surgery before meeting there veteran.
