Comfort Dog Ministry
A Comfort Dog Ministry brings the mercy, compassion, presence, and proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need.Sometimes comfort walks in on four paws…
Peace is an AKC certified purebred Golden Retriever who has had over 2,000 hours of training to a service dog level and understands some thirty commands. Comfort Dogs are taught to be passive and gentle when working with the public. A dog is an effective comforter because they make people feel safe…….they are non-judgmental and demonstrate unconditional love. Their simple presence is calming and healing and encourages people to talk about their distress and begin the healing process. Comfort Dogs calm people, work with special needs individuals, veterans and the elderly, and are used in counseling situations. They also deploy to crisis or disaster situations.
Peace has two vests. She is certified as a K-9 Comfort Dog and is also Kare-9 Military Ministry certified.
A Comfort dog work six days a week sharing care and compassion in schools, senior centers/nursing homes, hospitals, veteran/military organizations and events, community organizations, charities and also deploy in crisis or disaster situations when requested. The ministry will only go where invited, it will never intrude.
