Who We Are & What We Do
Canines for Comfort is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We train and place canines into organizations that serve vulnerable populations. Our canines provide comfort and healing to survivors of crime.
What’s New?
Canines for Comfort launches the Remarkable Rescue Dogs program!
Our focus is simple with this program, heal shelter dogs so in turn they can heal others. We will take in homeless dogs from the Delta Animal Shelter in Escanaba, MI who are potentially eligible to work. We will care for, train, and place the Remarkable Rescue Dog into an organization that serves vulnerable populations.
We want to showcase that rescue dogs are capable of remarkable things!

Our Goals
The Dogs

To provide items that further support the impact the dog has on the survivor. For example, stuffed animals, dog photo cards, journals, and anything else that can enhance the effect the canine can have on the survivor.
The Community
To train and place canines in agencies and organizations that serve vulnerable populations. This includes but isn’t limited to Child Advocacy Centers, Law Enforcement, Prosecutor Offices, Mental Health Clinicians, Schools, and Hospitals.
