Project Blackhole

Our Support Dogs

Waylon and Bettie visit rural and regional communities across Australia to bring comfort, connection, and visibility to people who often feel forgotten by the system. Every visit can be tracked on our map so communities, families, and supporters can see where the team has been and where we are heading next.

A happy day on the road

Our visits are built around kindness and practical support. We share stories, check in with locals, and help make care pathways easier to understand.

How tracking works

  • Our team records each dog visit location in our internal system
  • The map updates so communities can follow Waylon and Bettie
  • Supporters can see coverage over time and identify underserved areas

Meet Waylon and Bettie

Two friendly faces, one big mission: bring warmth to communities and help people feel seen while we document where support is needed.

Waylon the support dog

Waylon

Waylon is a great support dog with lots of attitude. He brings big personality to every visit and helps people relax, smile, and feel more at ease during outreach.

Bettie the support dog

Bettie

Bettie brings energy and joy wherever she goes. She helps break the ice and reminds people that support can feel welcoming, not clinical.

From Road Visit to Live Map

After each visit, our admins log our pups location in our map. That entry powers the public map so communities can follow real outreach activity in near real-time.
