Charity Starts Here . . . Ways To Support Dogs For The Deaf

Did you know? Dogs For The Deaf was founded in 1977. Ever since, they have been dedicated to each dog and person for life, offering guidance and support to make sure they remain a successful team!

Dogs For The Deaf facility, located in Central Point, Oregon

And there are only a few more days to shop at Pin & Tack to benefit Dogs For The Deaf! $1 from every listing sold at the shops will support this important charity.

Not in the market for boutique pins, tacks & other delights? Well, that is never a problem. I encourage you to donate directly and Dogs For The Deaf offers a variety of ways to do so.

A few of the dogs that have successfully completed the training.

Field Of Memories: With a donation of $150 or more, you can honor a loved one with a memorial stone and daffodil.

Recurring Donation: Set aside funds each month to be automatically given to Dogs For The Deaf. Any amount is appreciated!

Special Occasion Donation: Send the gift of charity to someone special with a greeting card and monetary donation in their name.

Shop: Spread the word through gifts with DFD logo, such as cards, clothing, mugs, totes & more at their online ship.

Map shows all of the locations where they have successfully placed dogs.

It can cost up to $25,000 to rescue, professionally train, and place a DFD dog. They charge only $50 for the application process. To make sure you are serious and can afford keeping the dog, $500 is required to actually receive the dog, but it is fully refunded after 1 year of living with the dog. How incredible is that?

Toys For The Joy Of Dogs

This month, Pin & Tack is supporting Dogs For The Deaf by donating $1 from every item sold. Besides purchasing from the shop, you can help in another way. A fun way, too.

You can donate toys to the dogs. As the dogs said, "We would like some cool doggie toys or yummy doggie treats to make our days and nights enjoyable in the kennels - and it sure would make our work a lot more fun!"

DFD Wish List Item: Kong Toy

This program is known as Toys For Joy. And who doesn't find toys joyful? I know that I do. You can donate toys, treats or other supplies. You can also provide the funds, so the DFD team can buy what they need.

DFD Wish List Item: Kuranda Dog Bed

Here is a list that the "dogs" have put together. These items will help the dogs have a happier journey while they learn to be Hearing, Autism & Program Assistance dogs.

Dogs Need Emergency Care, Too!

Yes, they most certainly do! And Dogs for the Deaf understands that.

Dogs for the Deaf provides support to its dogs and people throughout their lives. This includes medical care, which is paid for through their Emergency Vet Fund.

Fizza, Hearing Dog

Whether its for a one-time or lifelong need, Dogs for the Deaf provides funds for the necessary medical care to the placed and in-training dogs, so they can continue to do their very important work with helping their people.

You can provide directly to this fund by noting RNA Emergency Veterinary Fund (for Assistance Dogs) or Ed Caurduro Veterinary Fund (for Career Change Dogs) when you make your donation.

Hopper, Dog-In-Training

During January through February, $1 from every listing sold at Pin & Tack will be donated to Dogs for the Deaf. You can help this cause by shopping boutique, handmade finds or giving directly to the cause. Either is appreciated!

Pin & Tack Supports Dogs For The Deaf

“Dogs for the Deaf, Inc.’s mission is to rescue and professionally train dogs to help people and enhance lives, maintaining a lifelong commitment to all dogs we rescue and all people we serve.”

Nancy & Harley

Dogs are rescued, trained, then provided a forever home with a person who is deaf, autistic or has other challenges. Dog and person create meaningful relationships that benefit both greatly! These partnerships are supported by Dogs for the Deaf throughout their lifetimes.

Nelson, Teacher's Aide
