What is a Career Change Dog?

Our professional trainers carefully select our dogs by testing them for personality, health,
and intelligence. They are rescued from shelters, where they awaited execution. The enter a rigorous training program to become Hearing Dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Not all of our outstanding dogs can meet the demands of becoming a Certified Assistance Dog, thus the need for a "Career Change". They are, however, still winners, and make wonderful pets. Many are already housebroken and some know basic obedience commands. In short, these "near misses" make wonderful companions.

We can help match you with a lifelong canine companion.
Please take me to the online application page.

Darby

Black Shepard Mix
Size: Large
Age: 1 1/2 yr
Sex: Spayed Female

Darby is a little nervous with new people but warms up quickly and is playful. She would not be a good partner with cats. Darby would do well with the right dog-buddy. As active as she is, she has nice moments of being quiet and cuddly. Being so active and young, she would not do well with young children. She loves the ocean and would enjoy running with her partner and would be an ideal candidate for agility classes.

Piper

Pomeranian mix
Size: Small
Age: 1 year
Sex: Spayed Female

Piper is a petite 9 lb sweetheart looking for her forever family. She was abandoned on the streets with another dog and was found by animal control sitting next to her companion who had been hit and killed by a car. Piper has adjusted well into the life of a house dog but still has some learning to do. She would prefer to be an "only child" and loves to be carried everywhere. Although she is friendly with everyone, she seems to attach to one person and appears more drawn to women.
