About Our Dogs

My name is Alice and Roll Over Animal Rescue (ROAR) helped place me with Canines 4 Comfort from a shelter. I am a Great Dane with a very gentle disposition. I am learning very quickly and even applied deep pressure therapy to my new mommy when I felt she was stressed. I can't wait to finish my training!

My name is Bama and came to Canines 4 Comfort by way of Roll Over Animal Rescue (ROAR). I am a Lab-Catahoula mix. I’ve been told I’m a very sweet boy. I love to play with my other dog friends!  I am excited to to share that I now live with my boy Aidan and his family!! And we are both doing great!

My name is Belle and I am a princess. I am a four-year-old Golden Retriever and an active psychiatric service dog for one of our founding members. I perform tasks such as brace, break hands, and know when there is a need for deep pressure therapy. I can sense when a panic attack or dizzy spell is approaching and alert my handler to leverage the resources needed to manage the situation. 

My name is Buddy. I am a mix of Border Collie and Flat Coat Retriever. My people say that I am 13 years old, but I act more like a teenager! I am our lead therapy dog and enjoy visiting places where I can bring comfort and joy. 

I enjoy making friends and volunteering at The Counseling Center of Grayslake. I am happiest when I am "working" or playing Frisbee. 

My name is Dioge (D-O-G), Deej for short! I am a four-year old German Shepherd and enjoy my role as a therapy dog. I am owned by one the founders of Canines 4 Comfort and live with my German Shepherd siblings, Zora and Juno. I love to play Frisbee and chase a ball. But mostly I love my mama. 

My name is Edy. I’m a six-year old German Shepherd and mother to Salty, a Canines 4 Comfort service dog. I am an exceptional mother and great couch companion. I enjoy my work as a therapy dog, and have a tendency to make sure the younger dogs behave appropriately (it’s the mom in me!).  

My name is Ella and I came to Canines 4 Comfort by way of Roll Over Animal Rescue (ROAR). I am a Catahoula and Terrier mix. I have a very sweet disposition. While I love to play with my other dog friends, my dreams have come true! I now live with my boy Soren and just love him and his family!  

 My name is Gracie. I am Pomeranian serving as an emotional support dog.  My new mother and I are very compatible and have enjoyed each other's company since November of 2019.  

My name is KC and I am a 10 month old Labrodoodle. I was named after one of our beloved supporters, Kasey, who hosts a lemonade stand for C4C every summer! When C4C met me, I did not know what a collar or leash were, and now I heel like a perfect gentleman. I live with Maxwell, who is  assigned as my person. We are both in training and absolutely ADORE each other.

 My name is Krieger, which translated from German means brave/warrior. I am a Golden-doodle donated to Canines 4 Comfort by a breeder in Colorado. I have been paired to a veteran, and doing exceptional in my training! 

My name is Max and I a German Shepherd. My original family needed to find a different home for me when my newest sibling developed allergies. They sought out Canines 4 Comfort knowing I would be placed in a good home and helping someone. 

I am a very smart boy and have completed most of my training. I am now living with my veteran and we attend C4C training sessions regularly. 

My name is Molly and I am a Maltipoo. I am a sweet girl who was selected specifically for my future mama. My small size and soft fur were necessary for accommodating her physical ailments as well as her emotional needs. I now live with my new mama and continue to work through my training.  

My name is Ozzie. I am a young Goldendoodle, being trained to become a therapy dog for a local school. Canines 4 Comfort rescued me with the help of Hoof Woof & Meow Animal Rescue (HWMAR). I currently live with a host family who is helping to train me. I am learning fast and feel rewarded by human touch. 

My name is Peppa, a young Goldendoodle and sister of Ozzie. I too arrived with the help of Hoof Woof & Meow Animal Rescue (HWMAR).  I was originally named Harriet, but C4C changed my name to a favorite character of my young girl recipient. I work with a C4C trainer during the week, but train with my person on the weekends. 

 My name is Rosie. My mother is Belle and I was donated to Canines 4 Comfort by Dashagold Retrievers. I am being trained to serve a former police officer. I have a disposition similar to Belle ... sweet and chill. I now live my recipient who is a training with me each week.   

My name is Rubie and I am a sweet, young German Shepherd mix. I came to Canines 4 Comfort by way of Hoof Woof & Meow Animal Rescue (HWMAR). I was potentially paired with a veteran, but since I enjoy being around children, I may be assigned to a younger person. I am early in my training, and just happy to learn my job. I currently reside with a C4C trainer. 

 My name is Salty, short for Salted Carmel Ice Cream. My mother is Edy and Olsonhaus German Shepherds donated me to Canines 4 Comfort because of my sweet and gentle disposition. I have the great fortune of serving a Marine! We met when I was five months old and the connection was amazing. I was trained by two of the founders of Canines 4 Comfort, and was the first graduating service dog team!  

 My name is Yowza and I am a German Shepherd. I am three years old and have accomplished so much! I am an active therapy dog for Canines 4 Comfort. I am a sweet girl with gentle eyes and love to be loved! I am co-owned by two founders from Canines 4 Comfort.
