LCC Welcomes New Handlers to the K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry

LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry was blessed to have ten affiliates represented at the Replacement Handler training on May 14-15. LCC is happy to welcome these wonderful individuals who have been called to serve their home communities with the mercy, compassion, presence and proclamation of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need.

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