Hello all,
I am interested in getting a hearing dog. I live in north California. It is to my understanding that there are two programs nearby where I could adopt a specially trained hearing dog.
SPCA in San Francisco and Canine Companionship for Independence (CCI) are the two programs that I am aware of.
I know that the staff who is employed at SPCA located in SF look for dogs from local animal shelters and train them to become hearing dogs. They have all kinds of dogs, big and small.
As for CCI, the staff have a group of people who volunteers to watch after dogs (especially Labs) when they are about 2 months old and start training them at a young age.
If I adopted a dog from SPCA SF, it will be a little cheaper as opposed to CCI when they will be a little more expensive.
I would love to read your comments if you have any feedback or acknowledge on this very topic. And, share with me on this thread.
Thanks…
