Charlie Mike programs and services were created with a specific purpose in mind: to create peace, healing, and a sense of stability. These programs are tailored specifically to the needs and interests of military veterans, and to achieve these desired outcomes. Our Canine Battle Buddy Program is at the core of this approach.

Every year, millions of dogs are abandoned at animal shelters, and hundreds of thousands are euthanized. Our Canine Battle Buddies are chosen from municipal animal shelters and other rescue organizations. They are carefully selected, evaluated, and tested for characteristics such as intelligence, motivation, temperament, food drive, motivation, and disposition.
Rescued dogs receive medical care to become or remain healthy, and have regular veterinarian visits. Potential Battle Buddies receive two to four (or more) months of training in a program we have developed to create capable, competent, and obedient companion dogs.
To “graduate” the program, they are constantly evaluated and tested on specific sets of tasks, behaviors, and criteria of a practical nature. We want to ensure a high potential of success for our veterans, and our Battle Buddies. In addition, there is no cost to a veteran to adopt a Canine Battle Buddy from our program.

Our Approach: Battle Buddies
One of the objectives for this program is to fill a specific space within the canine rescue and training community that does not exist anywhere else, especially for veterans. We offer a solution that lives between simply adopting a pet on one end of the spectrum, and what most people think of as a “service dog” on the other.
Service dogs are amazing, and fill an important, powerful role with people who need that service. Many veterans, however, don’t need a “service dog,” and the more specialized or specific training that those animals require. Service dogs can take anywhere from six months to two years to train, and can often range in cost from $30,000 to $80,000. Some service dog organizations, unfortunately, also have a multi-year waiting list.
Veterans who experience the results of combat trauma, PTSD or TBI, or who might be significantly struggling, can benefit from a well-trained, intelligent, disciplined, and loving dog – a Canine Battle Buddy – without the need, timeline, and expense of a “service dog.” This is our sweet spot.
Through this important and rewarding effort, we double the impact of a good cause:
rescue a dog, and as a result, rescue a veteran.

Tonight we took advantage of the full moon 🌕 and this wonderful, albeit chilly weather, to spend a couple hours with our @charliemikebattlebuddies by a fire. They loved it.
We are getting ready to say “see you soon” to a couple in the next coming weeks, and we are squeezing some quality time together before they go to their FURever homes. 🔥🐾♥️ #blessed

🌟Ollie🌟 Is Ready to Capture Your Heart! 🐾 She is fully vaccinated, spayed, and well-trained, Ollie is an ideal companion for both civilians and Veterans. With a friendly demeanor towards people and other dogs, Ollie’s lively character shines brightly. Ollie isn’t just any dog she’s from our collaboration with @adoptmiamipets and @fomapets, demonstrating how shelter dogs, with proper training, become wonderful companions. After completing a four-week training program, Ollie is now prepared for her forever home. By offering Ollie the caring family she deserves, you can help us in minimizing shelter returns and overcrowding. Your support is essential, and an adoption fee/donation is required to finalize her adoption! This contribution enables CharlieMike to sustain our initiatives, including @charliemikebattlebuddies, a program where we connect rescued dogs with veterans in need at absolutely no cost. Let’s join forces and make a positive impact together! Feel free to reach out to us via Instagram, Facebook, or at CharlieMike.Org

Animal welfare but make it stylish! 🐶🎀
Thank you not only for including us on this special viewing of Poldo Dog Culture and Moncler’s spring/summer collection event, but also for the special mention during your speech. 🎤 Relationship building is the key to even make a dent on the statistics. It was so refreshing to spend even if just a couple of hours seeing these ultra lux furry cuties, while creating awareness of the thousands less fortunate.
Thank you @fomapets , @mrsyobe , @jdiliz again for the invite. Thank you @moncler and everyone who attended, for helping raise awareness to continue the fight for Miami’s pet community!

🐾 He is 1 out of 5 dogs we rescued from @adoptmiamipets .These pups aren’t just any rescues; many are medical cases we’re committed to nursing back to health. We’ve partnered with Miami Dade Animal Services to create a program where we rescue, rehabilitate, and train these dogs for adoption. They undergo basic obedience training similar to our @ChaelieMikebattlebudies program, making them perfect companions for civilians and veterans alike. 🎓🐶
Our goal is to reduce shelter populations and increase adoption success rates. By providing these dogs with solid training and care, we hope to minimize the chances of them being returned to shelters.
Your donations make this mission possible! Consider contributing through our website, social media, or our Amazon Wish List. Every bit helps in giving these dogs a second chance at a loving home. Thank you in advance for your support! 💙 #RescueDogs #MiamiRescue#SecondChances #DonateNow
