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. The majority of these recipients are veterans and children. Canines 4 Comfort trains and places therapeutic facility

dogs for schools and first responder teams in our communities. These specially trained dogs work with social services to defuse highly emotional situations and provide a calm and nurturing environment. With our first responder teams, these dogs bring goodwill to neighborhoods, provide relief and decompression to staff when dealing with serious situations, and assist with witness and victim interviews and debriefings. Canines 4 Comfort provides resources, training, education, care, and support to our clients and the communities we serve. 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.

Happy International Day of Charity! 🐾✨
We’re taking a quiet moment today to look back through our favorite memories from August. Swipe through to see our pups out in the community, doing what they do best—offering steady comfort, gentle smiles, and a calming presence to anyone needing a lift.

Every single visit, training milestone, and tail wag is possible because of the incredible kindness of our community. As a nonprofit, your support helps us raise and train dogs that make a real, lasting difference for mental wellness.

What a weekend on the green! ⛳🐾

Our 6th Annual Canines “FORE” Comfort golf outing was a huge success. The weather cooperated—we got so lucky dodging the rain with just a quick drizzle—and between the great food, exciting raffles, and incredible company, our village really pulled it off!

A huge THANK YOU to our sponsors, volunteers, and golfers. Together, we raised nearly $10,000!

With rising costs across the board, these funds couldn't come at a better time. We’re currently supporting a growing pack of pups in training—including Huey, Cash, Pearl, Comet, Finn, Fitz, and Daisy, plus a few others we are evaluating for our program.

Raising and training a single psychiatric service or facility dog takes $20,000 to $30,000. Your generosity directly covers their medical essentials (an annual wellness visit now costs nearly $500!), food, grooming, gear, and real-world foundational training so they can change lives.

Special shoutout to Dell Urban for capturing all the moments on and off the course! 📸 (Link to full photo gallery in the comments below!)

Thank you all for supporting our mission. See you next year! 🐶💛

It takes a village to raise a dog with a purpose, and today for National Nonprofit Day, we want to celebrate the power of community! 🐾

Our mission to support mental health through psychiatric service dogs, facility dogs, and emotional support dogs is made possible by incredible partners who believe in this work just as much as we do. Teamwork truly makes the dream work, and today we’re shining a light on two amazing organizations that help our pups thrive:

Hoof Woof and Meow Animal Rescue: Finding dogs with the right temperament, calm confidence, and heart for supportive work is no small feat. They help connect us with promising young pups who are ready to learn, grow, and change lives.

The Penny's Purpose: Our graduate teams receive one of their cozy blankets! Our dogs use them throughout training to master the "place" command—and because they tuck so easily into a backpack, handlers have a portable, familiar comfort spot wherever they go.

Nonprofits thrive when we lift each other up. Huge thanks to these wonderful partners for helping bring comfort and connection to those who need it most. 💛

Today’s sponsor spotlight goes to one of our sweetest sponsors: By the Book Accounting & Tax Solutions! ⛳️🐶🍪

Owner and operator Angela, her husband Mike, and their whole family are an essential part of the Canines 4 Comfort community. On top of running her local accounting firm, Angela pours countless volunteer hours into C4C alongside Mike—who serves as one of our star volunteers coordinating pickleball events—and their family always pitches in to lend a helping hand.

This year, By the Book is sponsoring dessert for our golf scramble! Keep an eye out for the custom logo cookies during dinner—you’re in for a real treat! 😋

Be sure to look for Angela, Mike, and the family at the event to grab your 50/50 raffle tickets, Golden Tickets, and entries for our games of chance.
