LCC Opens New K-9 Comfort Dog Training Center at St. Matthew, Barrington, Illinois, and Welcomes Five New Puppies

"So God made the wild animals, the tame animals, and all the small crawling animals to produce more of their own kind. God saw that this was good." Genesis 1:25

The LCC K-9 Ministry is excited to announce the opening of our newest LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Training Center located at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Barrington, Illinois. We are blessed to welcome new volunteers who have accepted the role of apprentice trainers for our newest pups. We could not continue the mission of training new Golden Retrievers without the volunteers who work alongside our LCC K-9 Comfort Dog staff trainers each week.

LCC is pleased to welcome our new class of apprentice trainers:

Amy Engstrom-Clugg
Kathy Kaczkowski
Joan Katterjohn

Jerry Ming
Michaeline Orvis
