The Canines for Christ North Lake County FL Chapter will soon become the Canines for Christ Central Florida Chapter! This means major expansion - allowing us to be able to spread God's love, joy, compassion, and hope in more areas of Florida than ever before with our amazing therapy dogs.

C4CNLCFL would like to welcome their newest members. Help us say hello to Mary 👩‍🦰, Tom👱‍♂️, Sylvia 👩‍🦱, and Rafael 👨‍🦳. These 4 great folks are dog lovers. Even though they are people who do not have dogs, they still love dogs, live to share the word of God, pray with, and encourage others. When they met Brimley they fell in love with him and wanted to become a part of C4CNLCFL and Team Brimley so that we could go out together to serve and make a difference. (Out of respect we are not posting their photos just yet as we still need to get the photo release papers signed). But we're so excited AND they're definitely important enough we just couldn't wait to share their acceptance into the Canines For Christ North Lake County FL Chapter!

Look who's ready for the Tavares Christmas Parade next weekend! Brimley the Bichon is ready to ride in his brand new stroller that we've decked out for the wondrous season. Dec. 3 Brimley will join PAWS Therapy Dogs, Inc. and will be participating in the Tavares 2022 Christmas Parade with several of his buddies. Team Brimley will also be making therapy dog visits with Canines For Christ North Lake County FL Chapter to nursing homes, memory care facilities, restaurants, and retail establishments (to name a few) throughout December to help brighten the days of those who are in need of love, comfort, compassion, joy, prayer, and/or a smile. Hope he brings a smile to yours as well as many other faces this blessed Christmas season!

Hello C4CNLCFL Chapter Fans and Members! Today Team Brimley made a surprise visit to the FM 88.3 Z-radio Christian Music Station in Orlando, FL. God set up the surprise perfectly! The Z is a listener-supported Christian radio station, and they are half way through their 2023 fundraising event. We prayed and felt God leading Team Brimley there to relieve the stress of the staff and volunteers who serve "behind the scenes," a few of the Z's announcers including the afternoon team of Shadow and Coppelia, and the mid day announcer, Denise, who also introduced Brimley the Bichon to Bentley the Basset - her amazing long-eared, howling doggo! We LOVE you Bentley! When we arrived we were welcomed with open arms, and they wasted no time taking us back to the phone room where volunteers take the pledge phone calls from listeners. Unbeknown to us, their computer system had been acting up and causing a lot of anxiety for many. When we walked in we literally saw the frowns turn upside down into smiles, and the ministry began! We were so excited to find out that one of the phone volunteers was also a C4C member! Blessings exploded all the way around! We give God all the glory for this awesome visit, and thank Him continually for using little Brimley in such big ways! Go Jesus!

Brimley made his first live performance on stage at only 16 months old! After the performance he quickly changed gears and opened the door for Team Brimley of the C4CNLCFL Chapter to minister to several attending the public event. With C4CNLCFL Chapter you never know how God is gonna use your awesome doggo to open doors to be able to change lives!
