Charlie Mike “Charlie Mike” means “Continue the Mission”. Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Sailors supporting each other in Continuing the Mission of Life.

No one can help us better than we can help ourselves. Standing together, as we have always done. Charlie Mike exists to create a new community and a forum for Veteran's to come together so that we can undertake the mission of helping ourselves integrate back into life after military service. Charlie Mike exists to help Soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Sailors help each other to Continue the Mission of life, in whatever form that may be. No one can help us better than we can help ourselves, and we believe that by standing by one another just as we have all done before, that we can help each other with the struggles of getting back home, back to work, back to school, and back to life. By creating a safe community to simply talk - and more importantly, be heard - we believe that we can all help become self-reliant by helping each other face our wounds that cannot always be seen. And no one will ever take better care of us than we can ourselves. Check our page and

Jake, originally named Clover, came to us from Miami-Dade Animal Services along with five other dogs we rescued at the time.

We needed somewhere for him to quarantine for just one week before starting training in Miami. A dear friend and longtime Charlie Mike advocate offered to foster him. She had recently suffered the devastating loss of one of her own dogs, and somehow this felt a little serendipitous.

We knew what kind of dog mom she was, so we said yes with one warning: Please don’t spoil him. 😂 He has to go to training after this!

It didn’t even take 24 hours.

“I’m not giving this dog back. What do I have to do to adopt him?”

And that was that.

Clover became Jake. Or, as we lovingly called him, Jake NOT from State Farm. ❤️

His adoption opened a space for us to rescue another dog, and Jake went on to live one hell of a life. School. Playdates. Adventures. Swimming in the Bay. He was loved ridiculously and completely.

When he began struggling with GI issues, his mom assembled what can only be described as a TEAM of doctors. If there was something that could possibly help Jake, she found it. His health would improve and then decline, giving everyone hope and then taking it away again.

Last week, Jake suffered a terrible setback.

And when I tell you this woman advocated for her dog, I mean she showed up with everything she had. She questioned. She listened. She pushed when she knew something wasn’t right. She did every single thing humanly possible to save him.

And when his body simply couldn’t fight anymore, she showed up for him then, too.

Today we say goodbye to our beautiful Jake.

We send all our love to his mom. Her commitment to Jake is the kind of love and advocacy every animal deserves. If we humans showed up for one another with even a fraction of that dedication, this world would be a much better place.

Jake leaves us with one of those painful reminders: nothing is promised. Sometimes all we get is the opportunity to love, be present, show up and do the very best we can with the time we are given.

His life was far too short, but that boy knew how to LIVE it. And … he was SO LOVED! 🐾🤍🙏

UPDATE!
The St. James Peace Ground is coming to life.
What started as an anonymous $50K+ lead gift is now steel in the ground. Swipe through to see where things stand, and imagine what it will feel like when veterans and first responders are finally running sessions rain or shine.

This gift got us started. It takes more partners to finish it. The entry gate and signage, the spectator seating, the lighting, the landscaping, every piece still open is a permanent naming opportunity and a chance to put your name, or someone you love's name, on this ground.

See the full vision and find your part in it.

What an amazing day we had yesterday at one of our monthly clinics for Veterans and First Responders. ❤️🐴

We had a full house practicing natural horsemanship, sharing great food and conversation, and enjoying an absolutely gorgeous day together.

So many special moments never made it into a photo, and maybe that’s part of the magic. Sometimes you just have to be here, be present, and experience it for yourself.

Our next clinic is October 31, and we’d love to have you join us!

We’re also excited for some improvements coming to our round pen area thanks to an amazing donor. We can’t wait to share the progress. ❤️

Thank you to all the volunteers that were behind the scenes helping make it all happen. 🙏
