Courthouse Dog

Everyone’s favorite RETIRED team member: Louie VI

Name: Louie VI
Breed: Yellow Lab
Date of Birth: March 22nd, 2015

We acquired our facility dog, Louie, for use in assisting alleged victims of child abuse or neglect tell their stories.  Louie was able to stay near them and went into the courtroom to sit with them on the witness stand, if necessary. Louie made a deep, indelible, and positive impact on all who encountered him.  Louie came to us through the generosity of Canine Companions for Independence. This nonprofit group provides trained service dogs and facility dogs to individuals and agencies free of charge. We would encourage support for their mission.

Their gift provided Grays Harbor County a real asset to help us care for our children.

 It takes time and dedication to have the privilege of a “Louie”. Our future goal is to have yet another amazing companion canine to support and care for our community.
