LCC K-9 Ministries Welcomes New Affiliate Handlers!

LCC was so blessed to have 14 affiliates from 6 different states represented during the additional handler training on January 26 – 27. LCC is happy to welcome these wonderful individuals who have been called to go out and serve their home communities to share the mercy, compassion, presence, and proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need.

The handlers spent a lot of time learning new skills and building their knowledge about the ministry. Each handler worked with either their affiliate’s dog or with a LCC K-9 Comfort Dog in training.
