A Resource About Dogs For The Deaf, Inc.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Consider two facts.  There are about 23 million deaf or severely hearing
impaired Americans, and there are millions of abandoned dogs seeking homes
from animal shelters throughout the United States.  Train selected dogs
properly and place them in good homes, and you provide an immeasurable service
to both.  That, in fact, is the service performed by Dogs For The Deaf, Inc.
They rescue the animals from the shelter, provide 4-6 months of training and
deliver Hearing Dogs to qualified individuals anywhere in the United Sates
absolutely free.  A certified Hearing Dog can hear a smoke alarm, the cries of
a baby, or a ringing doorbell, indicate that something is going on by touching
the deaf person with a paw, and leading them to the sounds.  In fact the dogs
are trained to recognize many such auditory alarms and respond.  You can
obtain more information about this organization and its services by sending a
