It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to unwind, connect, and enjoy some quality time together.

Nothing puts a smile on our clients' faces faster than when Rejoice Comfort Dog stops by for a visit! 🦮 We were even lucky enough to see her on her birthday and sing Happy Birthday to her. 🎈🎉 Rejoice is a Comfort Dog with Lutheran Church Charities K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry. Along ...with her furry companions, she brings a sense of calm and warmth wherever she goes, offering love and comfort to all who meet her.
Comfort dogs like Rejoice bring amazing benefits to our clients, including reducing anxiety, improving mood, and promote overall emotional well-being. The simple act of petting a dog can lower stress levels, foster feelings of connection, and create a safe, supportive environment. Rejoice and her team make a real difference, bringing joy and peace to everyone she visits.
