Honey started out simply traveling with Stefan — on flights, to hospitals, to appointments, and into everyday life. Along the way, people began to notice how her calm presence changed the room.
Now, those miles and moments are becoming the foundation for future Healing City Tours and intentional visits around the country.
We're in the early stages. This page shows where Honey has already been with Stefan, and where we hope to go next as the Honey On Duty Project grows.
Bringing healing and hope across America through purposeful travel and service dog visits.
Honey is a light brown/tan American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a distinctive surgical scar on her left front leg. She wears a pink service vest and works alongside her handler, Stefan Walter, a chaplain-in-training, to bring comfort and healing wherever they go.
These are the states Honey has already visited alongside Stefan — for medical care, personal travel, storytelling work, and everyday life. They're the groundwork for the nonprofit trips we're building toward.
We're building toward multi-day trips where Honey and Stefan visit your city with intention — serving hospitals, hospice programs, first responders, and community spaces over several days instead of a single stop.
A Healing City Tour is our future model: a 3–7 day visit where Honey travels to a city and supports multiple places — hospitals, hospice centers, fire stations, support groups, and community events — while Stefan facilitates storytelling, education, and mental health–informed conversations.
We're not booking full tour schedules yet. Right now, we're collecting interest, building partnerships, and making sure the legal, safety, and emotional pieces are in place so these visits actually help the people they're meant to serve.
Concept in Development • Interest List OpenFlights, hotels, ground transport, Honeygrams, and preparation all cost money. If you or your organization wants to help Honey reach more people, you can sponsor a specific trip, city, or pilot Healing City Tour.
We're building this slowly and honestly. Sponsorships right now help us say "yes" to strategic trips, relationship-building visits, and early pilot tours — all while keeping core support free for families and communities whenever possible.
Your support helps Honey show up where people are grieving, burned out, or scared — not just online, but in person.
Partners can be featured in our travel recaps, videos, and behind-the-scenes storytelling in a way that aligns with our mission.
We're not looking for one-off logos — we're looking for aligned partners who care about mental health, service dogs, and second chances.
We'll work with you to match your support to specific goals — like burn units, hospice programs, first responder wellness, or rural communities.
We're building our first official calendar of visits. Your request doesn't guarantee a trip yet — but it helps us see where the need is, where to plan pilot tours, and who wants to partner when we're ready.
If you're a hospital, hospice program, school, fire station, nonprofit, or community leader who feels a pull toward this work, we'd love to hear from you.
Share who you are, where you're located, and who you're hoping Honey could support in the future.
We'll review your request, look at timing, logistics, and fit, and add it to our interest list for future visits and tours.
As our nonprofit structure, funding, and travel plans grow, we'll reach back out to explore realistic next steps together.
When the timing is right, we'll co-create a visit or tour that respects your community, your staff, and Honey's capacity.
Your information is confidential and will be used only to coordinate visits and plan tours.
