"Always Searching For Ways To Help Those In Need"

Hearing Dogs

"GIDGET" is a hearing dog trained to alert to sounds.

  • Help people live independent lives
  • Provide companionship
  • Alert to crying babies
  • Alert to smoke alarms, doorbells and other sounds
 

 

Certified Hearing Dogs enjoy the same public access rights of service dogs.

Unlike service dogs, who usually are larger dogs, Hearing Dogs can be of any size.

Hearing dogs are the ears for the hearing impaired.
Imagine that you could not hear everyday sounds: your baby crying, a visitor at your door, or that morning alarm clock going off. A hearing dog will alert his owner to such sounds, making life not only easier but safer. Hearing Dogs are also trained to warn their owners when the fire or smoke alarm goes off. These remarkable canines can even tell their owners when an intruder is outside.

For Better Independence finds future hearing dogs in many places.  Caring breeders donate dogs to our program. We also rescue dogs from shelters. The common traits that all hearing dogs share are
a strong work ethic and a stable temperament.

"COLT" is a mixed breed trained to alert to sounds, wouldn't you trust those ears?  :)
