- 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
- stamped self-addressed business size envelope to Dogs For The Deaf, Inc.,
- 10175 Wheeler Road, Central Point, Oregon 97502.
