Relationships that 'heel' - Canines 4 Comfort is a 501(c)3 providing trained dogs to support mental health treatment and wellness.
Canines 4 Comfort trains and places psychiatric service dogs with individuals experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health diagnoses. Many of these recipients are veterans and children. Canines 4 Comfort trains and places therapeutic facility dogs for our communities' schools and law enforcement groups.
Canines 4 Comfort provides resources, training, education, care, and support to our clients and communities. We also offer a professional program for our trained and in-training canines to visit and provide dog therapy to others.
Services provided by Canines 4 Comfort are free; however, as a nonprofit organization, we rely solely on the generosity of community donations to help us achieve our mission.
Our efforts focus on training our existing dogs and fulfilling the needs of those on our waitlist. Currently, we cannot assist with training dogs that have not been sourced or evaluated by Canines 4 Comfort staff.
Canines 4 Comfort serves within a 60-mile radius of Round Lake, Illinois. We currently train in Libertyville, Illinois.
