About LCCC

Lawrence County Comfort Canines (LCCC) is a volunteer organization of certified therapy dogs that provide animal-assisted intervention to human service agencies located in Lawrence County, PA.

The Lawrence County office of Mental Health and Developmental Services provides some financial support to maintain this specialized program. This program is managed by the Human Services Center, New Castle PA with assistance from Slippery Rock University social work faculty and students.

Dogs are the only therapy animals utilized in this program. All dogs have been evaluated by a national therapy dog organization, maintain required annual vaccinations, and abide by policies within this document as well as that of their certifying national therapy dog organization. All dogs have a designated handler(s) and only those persons may handle the therapy dog.

There is no fee or cost to agencies to request and utilize these therapy dog teams.
