Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a registered charity which selects and trains dogs to respond to specific sounds which people who can hear often take for granted, such as the alarm clock, doorbell, baby cry, telephone and smoke alarm.
Hearing dogs are free to deaf people but it currently costs in excess of £10,000 for us to acquire and socialise a puppy or young dog, train it to alert to the required sounds and place it in a partnership which we will support for the working life of the dog.
As we receive no government funding we rely solely on the generosity of individuals, fundraising groups and companies to support our work.
