FAQ'S�
Frequently Asked Questions About Hearing Dogs
How Much Does a Hearing Dog Cost?
Hearing dogs are provided free of charge to those who receive them. The cost to train and place one dog is $6,000. This expense is paid for through the kindness of individuals and service clubs, foundation grants, and IHDI fund-raising activities, such as Adopt-A-Dog or Silent Partner sponsorships.
�
How Long Does It Take To Receive a Hearing Dog?
There is a waiting list of six months to a year, however, most successful applicants will receive their hearing dog within one year of applying.� Each dog is custom trained to meet the needs of each applicant. Dogs trained for persons with special needs may require more time.� Great care is taken to make a good match between applicant and dog. Activity level, lifestyle, and health of the applicant are all considered.
�
Can My Dog Be Trained To Become A Hearing Dog?
IHDI's by-laws require that all dogs be selected from local animal shelters and evaluated by its trainers. Each dog must meet standards of health, intelligence, youth and temperament.
Chosen expressly for these traits, these formerly unwanted or abandon dogs are given a second chance and become the way to a new and broader life for their deaf masters.� Due to liablity concerns, personal pets cannot be trained, nor can we accept private donations of dogs.
�
I Live In Another State. Can I Still Apply For A Hearing Dog?
Yes. IHDI has one location near Denver, Colorado, but its dogs are placed with persons who are deaf or hard-of-hearing throughout the U.S. and Canada.
