Relationships that 'heel'—Canines 4 Comfort is a 501(c)(3) that provides trained dogs to support mental health treatment and wellness. These services are available within a 60-mile radius of Round Lake, Illinois.
Once trained, our dogs are gifted to their new handlers. These life-changing partnerships bring comfort, stability, and renewed purpose. Canines 4 Comfort places psychiatric service dogs with individuals experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health diagnosis. Many of these recipients are veterans and children. Canines 4 Comfort trains and places facility/comfort dogs in schools and first responder teams in our communities ...for FREE.
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.
