Zillah the Comfort Dog

Lutheran Church Charities K-9 Comfort Dogs are friends who bring a calming influence, allowing people to open up their hearts and receive help. Zillah is our Comfort Dog who interacts with people at churches, schools, hospitals, nursing care centers, events and disaster response situations. Zillah is available to visit your church, school organization or event. The Lutheran Church Charities K-9 Comfort Dogs are working animals, trained to interact with people of all ages and circumstances who are suffering and in need. Through the simple act of petting and hugging a Comfort Dog, people’s hearts are opened, and the dog becomes our bridge for compassionate ministry, opening doors for conversation about faith and creating opportunities to share the mercy, compassion, presence and proclamation of Jesus Christ. This is a ministry of Immanuel Lutheran Church St. Charles.
