The charity has helped both national and international disaster relief, family/congregation in need, Haiti / Israel / Ghana, Hearts of Mercy and Compassion, Human Care Ministry. The charity also helped victims of Hurricane Katrina. In 2008 the comfort dog ideas started to form. In 2012 the K9 ministry responded to providing K-9 comfort dogs to comforting family members impacted by Sandy Hook elementary mass shooting, Boston Marathon bombing and several other disasters and shootings. In 2021, the program had 130 K9 comfort dogs in 27 states and 70 churches. Lutheran Church Charities K-9 comfort dogs provide service to people who need a hug or a smile, trauma/crisis: natural or human caused tragedies, benefit from a friendly visit, such as schools, nursing home residents, community events, prison inmate.
All LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs are extensively trained AKC purebred golden retrievers. Only go when invited, never charged for expenses. In 2014 Lutheran Church Charities founded LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry. The K9 visits VA hospitals and medical centers and visit veterans in their homes or nursing homes. There are 80 Kare 9 Military Ministry dogs in service in 26 states. In 2017 Lutheran Church Charities K9 Police Ministry was launched. All the comfort dogs are named after biblical names. The comfort dog that was brought to the Rotary Club of Stockton meeting was named Rehab.
