Saving the lives of dogs to enrich the lives of people.
Hearing Dog Program
Hearing Dogs are Assistance Dogs trained to alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing to common household sounds, such as door knocks, phone calls, appliance chimes, and smoke alarms.
Our training team carefully matches our Hearing Dogs with qualifying applicants in Central and Southern California, Western Nevada, and Western Arizona at no cost to the recipients.
Dogs for Adoption
Not all outstanding dogs can meet the demands of becoming Certified Assistance Dogs; however, they make wonderful pets. Called “Career Change Dogs” these pups are making the pivot to a “career” of leisure and play as companion dogs.
Rehoming Your Dog
Life happens and, sometimes, finding a new home for your dog is in their best interest. Rehoming a dog is never an easy decision but giving your dog the opportunity to change someone’s life as an Assistance Dog is a wonderful gift to give.
