Battle Dawgs

Ark Charity Review

Why Ark Institute selected this charity

Battle Dawgs fits well into Ark Institute’s ideals as it is a small family-run nonprofit offering 100% free rehabilitation to combat veterans; our returning warriors. It was started in 2018 by a husband and wife who understand what trauma can do to a human being, and was born out of love and understanding. They aim to bring the peace and tranquility of the Alaskan Wilderness into the hearts of wounded, broken, traumatized warriors. Battle Dawgs delivers one of the most important things a traumatized warrior may need; Hope.

How this charity aligns with our goals

Battle Dawgs has 3 core focus areas; Outdoor Rehabilitation in beautiful Alaska, Mentorship, and Leadership gives our returning warriors what they need: Adventure, camaraderie, and preparation, ready to return to society feeling complete and whole.

What was the process of approving this charity

Battle Dawgs meets all of Ark institutes gates giving our brave men and women who protect and serve, an opportunity to heal not only physical wounds but deep psychological wounds that are not so easy to see like PTSD and TBIs.
