I talked with Shannon Walker, the CEO and Founder of Northwest Battle Buddies, about what led her to start a non-profit and what Northwest Battle Buddies does.

The mission of Northwest Battle Buddies is to gift professionally trained service dogs to veterans battling with PTSD in order to help them regain their freedom and independence.

The service dogs they train spend five or more months in training and then are matched with a Veteran handler for five more weeks of training and bonding. It is an amazing organization whose definition of success isn't related to profits but instead is measured by the number of Veterans they can help through the dogs they train.
