Scout and Hattie - Facility Dogs

Scout and Hattie - Facility Dogs We’re Scout and Hattie, Facility Dogs with Xpedition Lifeline, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. What is Facility Dog?

Our mission is to "facilitate" healing conversations as we provide supportive comfort and solace to military, veteran, and first responder communities. 🐾 A Facility Dog is a specially trained working dog that operates alongside a qualified peer support professional working in a high-stress environment prone to traumatic experiences. At Mutts With A Mission, Facility Dogs undergo the same rigorous

two-year training program designed for Service Dogs and learn to perform specific, skilled tasks developed to decrease anxiety response, increase resiliency, and facilitate conversation within a command setting. Once placed with a certified handler operating in a demanding work environment, Facility Dogs serve as emotional breaching tools, helping to dismantle the barriers to improving mental and physical health and fostering trust, empathetic communication, and healing.

This is Scout. 💙

Place him in the middle of a high-stress moment, and watch what happens.

Conversations open up. Guards come down. People breathe again. There’s a reason Facility Dogs are becoming an essential part of real-world support—not just for comfort, but for lasting impact.

A quiet nudge, a soft head on a knee, or the calming effect of just sitting close can do more than most people realize. 🐾

12 Days left to make our goal for the upcoming DC Deployment! Help Xpedition Lifeline make it happen.

Not every "officer" wears a badge. Some show up, sit quietly, and lower the stress level in the entire room without saying a word. ❤️

As Facility Dogs - that's Scout and Hattie's job. 🐾

Hi… it’s Scout and Hattie! ❤️

We’re usually the ones who stay close when things feel heavy. We sit beside people, lean in, and bring a little calm when it’s needed most. We may not use words, but we know when someone needs comfort.

For some time, we’ve been right next to our handlers as they’ve walked into difficult moments with military members, veterans, first responders, and their families. Now, everything we’ve been part of has an official title.

Xpedition Lifeline.

It’s about showing up in real moments of crisis, bringing steady presence, and helping individuals and families get connected to the support they need to move forward. And we’re part of every step of it.

In just a few short weeks, Xpedition Lifeline, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, will be heading to Washington, D.C. for National Police Week 2026 in partnership with Mutts With A Mission, standing alongside Gold Star law enforcement families.
