ODESSA, TX — Not even one month after the El Paso shooting, the LCC K-9 comfort dogs will be deployed again to help a community heal.
Lutheran Church Charities has been invited by the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) Texas Dristrict and Rev. Robert J. Pase of Grace Lutheran Church in Midland, Texas to bring the LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs to the hurting communities of Midland and Odessa, Texas.
The following LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Ministry teams are deploying to be with the families, survivors, and all of the first responders who serve them: Abner (Bethany – Austin, Texas), Elijah (Our Redeemer – Wichita Falls, Texas), Gabriel (Messiah – Houston, Texas), Joy (Gloria Dei – Houston, Texas), Martha (Bethany - Austin) and Phoebe (St. Paul – Fort Worth, Texas).
