Comfort Dog Ministry
LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Amos
Amos is a pure bred Golden Retriever. He was the first Comfort Dog in Virginia and is hoping to serve people all over the DC Metropolitan area.
Amos has received over 2000 hours of training and is no ordinary dog. He is able to visit people in long-term care facilities, memory care facilities, hospice care, hospitals, schools, offices and in the community. Furthermore, Amos’ team includes a retired police officer and a veteran, who provides ministry opportunities with first responders.
If you’re interested in having an Amos visit, please email Amos and his team.
For more information and a greater look into Amos’ training, the training of Amos’ team and the scope of his work check out Capital Comfort.
Amos’ ministry is based solely on donations. Please consider donating (specify “Comfort Dog” in the memo field). Would you rather purchase something for Amos? Check out his Wish List.
