Warrior's Wingman Story
Driven by his love for dogs and patriotism, Nick Figliolo founded Warrior's Wingman in 2022 to give back to veterans. After assembling his team and acquiring the first Wingman, Liby, Nick began accepting applications to place these beloved gun dogs with veterans who share his passion for waterfowl hunting and animals.

Our team is composed of avid waterfowl hunters, conservationist, and patriots. We know that because of our military we are able to enjoy brisk sunrises, calling in the flock, and witness God's creations with man's best friend. Providing our Veteran's with a well trained and loving gun dog is our purpose! The Warrior's Wingman team hopes to find a waterfowl loving Veteran to utilize the skills of their Wingman during the hunt and to enjoy at home.
Our Goal
Our Goal is to increase the number of veterans benefiting from the Warrior's Wingman program by expanding our capacity to train and place more waterfowl hunting dogs each year, ensuring that every veteran who needs a companion is matched with the perfect partner.
Our Mission
Our Mission is dedicated to supporting veterans by providing them with specially trained waterfowl hunting dogs that offer not only skilled hunting assistance but also unwavering companionship and emotional support, helping veterans find peace, purpose, and a strong bond as they transition from military to civilian life.
Our Dogs
Our Dogs are health tested, British and American Labrador Retrievers, known for their exceptional hunting abilities and temperament. The selection process emphasizes dogs that will not only excel during the 60 days of waterfowl season but also be loyal, dependable best friends throughout the rest of the year.
