The Story Behind Mutts With A Mission
In 2004, Mutts With A Mission founder SSG Brooke Corson was called to Active Duty and sent to Ft. Benning, GA as a
Supply Sergeant. She was assigned to the 1/50 Infantry Battalion, (ITB) as a Supply Sergeant. While there in 2006, she
acquired Angus, a Cairn Terrier puppy who went every where with her. Angus could be seen at the Malone Ranges, the
Weapons Pool, all over post. Thankfully, she had an understanding 1SG and Angus soon won the hearts of the Battalion.
SSG Corson started realizing the valuable impact dogs have when the Drill Sergeants started visiting Angus all of the time
just to have the pup sit in their laps. No matter how their day was going a visit with Angus was sure to make it all worth it.
Soon Angus was known all over Ft. Benning and people would inquire where the pup was if he wasn't with SSG Corson.
Unfortunately, shortly after Brooke returned home off of Active Duty Angus was killed in a tragic accident. However, his
legacy remains with each dog that we pair up with a Veteran!!
In 2008, Brooke, her husband Joe, and brother, Keller, banded together to form Mutts With A Mission, Inc. in order to
provide highly skilled Service Dogs utilizing "unwanted" dogs from shelters and rescues as well as dogs donated from
breeders.
