Northwest Battle Buddies - All Bark, No Bite…read more As a 100% disabled combat veteran with PTSD and TBI, I reached out to Northwest Battle Buddies hoping to train my newly adopted sweetheart, a 3-year-old Great Dane mix named Minnie, to be my service animal. My wife was in Italy caring for her dying mother, while I came back to the land of the free and home of the let-you-down for "treatment" (and I use that term generously) from the usual suspects at the VA--a system so overburdened, underwhelming, and broken it has made a grown man cry many times. To help me cope, I began fostering Minnie, who quickly became my best friend and lifeline. She weighs over 100 pounds and has a heart twice that size--perfect temperament for my public anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional support. I sent a detailed message, laying out my situation, my needs, and my struggles. When the founder finally returned my call, I expected compassion. Instead, I got cold, robotic indifference. She practically barked "What do you want?"--like I was interrupting her day, not a veteran reaching out for help. Given the constant brain fog, memory lapses, and crippling anxiety that come with TBI and PTSD, being forced to restate what was already in her hands felt dismissive and cruel. Then came the kicker: $5,000 for a single month of training, not including food, at their for-profit facility. Not a single offer of a veteran discount, financial assistance, or even a shred of human compassion. Just the price tag. Period. Yes, they offer a potentially valuable service to some veterans, which is why this isn't a 1-2 Bomb review, but their strict and judgmental policies around alcohol and drug use paint us all as addicts and liabilities. We're veterans, not criminals. We've fought and bled for this country--we deserve empathy, not assumption. CombatCritic Gives Northwest Battle Buddies 3 Bombs Out Of 10 ...

This organization is a blessing. So many people are involved from the breeders to the foster…read morefamilies, the donors, and the staff and trainers. Everyone is sold out for the mission of North West Battle Buddies. The trainers were so patient and professional with us (the veterans). If you put the work in and remain honest with others and yourself throughout their process, you will walk away with a battle buddy. You will feel a boost in confidence. You will be part of something greater. You will make amazing relationships with the veterans you go through the program with. You will be part of a greater family. I thought I was doing ok before NWBB. Several people in my life encouraged me to do this and I was wrong. I was not doing ok. I did not realize just how bad off I was. I was hyper vigilant constantly. Always anxious. Always spent part way through the day. Often easily irritated and shouty. My life was ok but I am still broken. Having my battle buddy has forced me to slow down and plan and take things on one at a time. I am able to be out and about like before but now I'm not stressing as much. I'm not afraid of people as much. My heart rate is lower. It's not magic but it is what I needed. I needed to know someone had my back. When you go through this program you have a whole new family to back you up. The trainers are committed to the dogs and the veterans. They taught me so much. I went from the least knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior in my family to the most in 5 weeks and I know there is so much kore to learn. They match each dog expertly with each veteran to fir lifestyle and temperament. They nailed it for me. I am so grateful to NWBB for my battle buddy. He's amazing and I know I can lead him well because they gave me the tools. If you are thinking about doing this DO IT NOW. APPLY APPLY APPLY You will not regret it.
