Comfort Dogs

Lutheran Church Charities trains K-9 Comfort Dogs to provide comfort and support to individuals. LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs are trained to the level of a service animal and can perform specific tasks when required. LCC comfort dogs bring comfort to individuals and families suffering pain or loss, calm individuals, facilitate conversations, and work with special needs individuals, veterans, and the elderly. LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs are trained to respond to crisis and disaster situations. All LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs are purebred Golden Retrievers who are American Kennel Club (AKC) certified and have passed the AKC Good Citizenship Test and received their AKC certification.

New Dog COming SOon!

Trinity is in the process of welcoming a new LCC K-9 Comfort Dog! In May 2024, we received the good news that LCC had accepted Trinity’s application for a second Comfort Dog! With the sending of the initial $10,000 deposit, we have completed Phase 1 and are now in the “queue” for getting a second comfort dog. God is good!


Now, the journey begins in earnest. As we progress through Phases 2-6 over the next two years, we will keep you updated on what is happening and where we are in the process. If you would like to join the team for the new Comfort Dog, contact Janet Boye at tlccomfortdog@trinityoflncoln.org.
