ABOUT OUR COMFORT DOGS

Sharing the mercy, compassion, presence, and proclamation of Jesus Christ

The LCC K-9 Comfort Dog ministry began in response to disasters and tragedies. Gethsemane and Tobias serve our local community through regularly scheduled visits, such as to schools and assisted living facilities. In the event of a sudden death or tragedy, they go where needed to bring comfort to the hurting.

“The good memory of you and Tobias is a direct symbol that God was moving in our school immediately.” from a teacher following a school shooting at marshall county high in benton, kentucky “ “Just before [my uncle] passed, God sent him a little present in the form of a visit from a dog named Tobias. It's nice to look back and remember the special gifts sent from God to help us through our sorrow.” from the nephew of a hospice patient at Journey Care in Barrington, Illinois “ “[This student] has had a really hard life, and he came to me the next day and told me that being able to hug Tobias and let his emotions out was exactly what he needed and hopes to do it again soon.” from a teacher at a local high school “ “Tobias will continue to hold a special place in my heart for the impact not only Tobias (and his partners) had on myself and others, but also the impact the handlers like Jenni had on us. We are forever grateful.” from a social worker following a school shooting in Parkland, Florida “ Testimonials teacher-school-visit-tobias-comfort-dog-lord-of-glory-grayslake hospice-tobias-comfort-dog-lord-of-glory-grayslake student-tobias-comfort-dog-lord-of-glory-grayslake social-worker-comfort-dog-lord-of-glory-grayslake
