Chief Love and Comfort Officer

Chief is a Trained Facility Dog.

Here is what it means to be a facility dog at the Ronald McDonald House:

Chief and his handler, our Chief Operating Officer, Lauri Adams, have learned multiple training disciplines, including obedience, behavioral, leadership, communication, and environmental training.
Being a facility dog is Chief’s full-time job. Every day, he gets up, gets ready, and goes to work with Lauri. They are both specially trained to be focused and present for all the families at the house daily.
Chief and Lauri work in partnership to provide opportunities for families to relieve stress, play, and help them in any way possible during their stay at the Ronald McDonald House.

When you tour the House, feel free to visit with Chief!
