Souper sale and party

Supporting: dogs for the deaf

we Raised: $1095!

Dogs for the Deaf's Hearing Dogs are chosen from animal shelters. Many shelters must euthanize dogs if no homes are found for them. By using shelter dogs, they are able to help alleviate some of the unwanted dog population by rescuing these dogs. Once trained, they are placed in loving homes where they provide valuable and even life saving benefits.

In 30 years, DFD has rescued and placed over 3,000 dogs in homes as Hearing Dogs, Miracle Mutts (Special Dogs for Special People), and Career Change Dogs.

Hearing Dogs are trained to alert to the sounds: fire/smoke alarm, telephone, door knock, doorbell, oven timer, alarm clock, and name call. In some cases a dog may be trained for the baby cry. In addition to sound training, Hearing Dogs are also extensively obedience trained (with positive reinforcement and lots of love) and socialized.

It's a great opportunity to help dogs and people!

Many thanks to our family and friends who supported our Benefit Party with their donations to Dogs for the Deaf.
