WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE


WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE’S LIVES.

Assistance Dogs make a huge difference in the lives of trainers, owners, and
clients. We aim to help acquire, train, and place dogs where they will make the
best impact.


SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS

We recognize our greater responsibility to care for our community and our
planet: we’re reducing our carbon pawprint, we support our local communities,
and we manage our organization by following our mission and values.


ZERO COST TO CLIENTS.

There are no application fees or good faith deposits. Thanks to our outstanding
donors, we are able to offer these amazing dogs at no cost to our clients.


EXCEPTIONAL TRAINING AND PLACEMENT.

Certified professional staff train and place Assistance Dogs with individuals.
Unlike most organizations who require you come to them, we go to the client and
spend a week with them in their surroundings, learning about their routines,
place of work, and unique community settings.


100% TO PROGRAM.

100% of your donation supports programmatic services. Administrative and
fundraising expenses are fully funded by the interest earned from our
long-standing endowment.


ABOUT US

Award-winning Dogs for Better Lives is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in
Central Point, Oregon. Formerly known as Dogs for the Deaf, we have been
providing Assistance Dogs to people across the United States since 1977.

Dogs for Better Lives’ mission is to professionally train dogs to help people
and enhance lives while maintaining a lifelong commitment to all dogs we rescue
or breed and the people we serve.

Certified professional staff train and place Assistance Dogs with individuals
who experience deafness; with children who are on the autism spectrum; and with
professionals such as teachers, physicians, and licensed therapists whose
students and clients can benefit from the dogs’ calming presence.

HEARING DOG PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS


ABOUT OUR DOGS

We select dogs from area shelters based on temperament and age, not size, sex,
or appearance. All of our Dogs receive extensive program work and obedience
training. Hearing Dogs are trained to alert to sounds by making physical contact
then leading you to the sound. Additionally, many of our Hearing Dogs are
certified for public access.

Our standards and criteria for determining whether or not a dog is suitable for
access to public places are very high. Only dogs that can ignore other dogs,
handle being exposed to busy, noisy and crowded environments as well as
comfortable with all types of people are appropriate to be in public.

When we match a dog with a client, we look at a variety of factors: the needs of
the client both for work at home and in public, lifestyle and energy level and
the confidence the dog has in new environments and situations. Dogs are matched
with individuals based on the temperament of the dog and the lifestyle,
personality, activity level, health, and environment of the person. We do not
place dogs based on personal preference.


HOME ENVIRONMENT

There can be no other dogs in the household with a Hearing Dog with the possible
exception of a retired Dogs for Better Lives Hearing Dog. If you have other pets
and are not willing to re-home them, your application may be denied due to the
difficulties of having a professionally trained dog work around those types of
distractions.

We typically require a fenced area attached to the home.

It is crucial to have full cooperation and support of all household members for
a successful working team to develop.


FINANCIAL COMMITMENT

The cost of feeding and caring for one of our professionally trained dogs could
be over $1,000 per year. This includes but is not limited to food, toys, vet
care, etc. This does not include any unforeseen illness or injury. The client is
financially responsible for the dog’s care once the dog is placed with the
person.


PERSONAL SKILLS

A client must be at least 18 years old, willing and able to physically,
mentally, and emotionally care for the dog without assistance.

The Hearing Dog is a trained working animal, not a pet. The entire training
program is based on rewarding or playing with the dog every time they work.
Consistent practice, patience, and praise are necessary for the dog to succeed.

Please remember that our dogs are not trained to be guard dogs. They are
friendly, stable dogs that help people with different challenges and provide
companionship only.


BEFORE APPLYING, PLEASE CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING POINTS.

Our professionally trained dogs require:

• A minimum of one full year of training with you as a team
• Your total commitment and willingness to work with them daily
• Your ability to schedule practice sessions ahead of other pressing demands
• Your patience and positive attitude
• Play time and rewards for a job well done each and every time they work for
you
• Exercise and mental stimulation on a daily basis
• Taking sole responsibility for the care of the dog so that the dog will bond
with you
• Family members to refrain from giving the dog attention until the dog has
completely bonded with you
• Attending an obedience training classes or hire a private obedience trainer as
prescribed by your Dogs for Better Lives professional trainer

AUTISM ASSISTANCE DOG PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS


HOME ENVIRONMENT

There can be no other dogs in the household with an Autism Assistance Dog. If
you have other pets and are not willing to re-home them, your application may be
denied due to the difficulties of having a professionally trained dog work
around those types of distractions.

We require a fenced area attached to the home.

It is crucial to have full cooperation and support of all household members for
a successful working team to develop.


FINANCIAL COMMITMENT

The cost of feeding and caring for one of our professionally trained dogs could
be over $1,000 per year. This includes but is not limited to food, toys, vet
care, etc. This does not include any unforeseen illness or injury. The client is
financially responsible for the dog’s care once the dog is placed with the
child.


PERSONAL SKILLS

To qualify for our Autism Program, the child on the autism spectrum cannot be
diagnosed with any other disabilities. To provide the best support for our
clients, our dogs are trained for one specific skill set and not, for example,
dually trained as Hearing Dogs. Please call for more information and
clarification.

The Autism Assistance Dog is a trained working animal, not a pet. The entire
training program is based on rewarding or playing with the dog every time they
work. Consistent practice, patience, and praise are necessary for the dog to
succeed.

Please remember that our dogs are not trained to be guard dogs. They are
friendly, stable dogs that help people with different challenges and provide
companionship only.

Before you begin the application process, it is important that you read this
information:

• We require a fenced area attached to the home
• Due to the difficulties of having a dog work around distractions, Autism
Assistance Dogs must be the only dog in the home
• Autism Assistance Dogs are only placed with clients between 5-12 years old
• You will be required to attend obedience training classes or hire a private
obedience trainer as prescribed by your Dogs for Better Lives professional
trainer

Our professionally trained dogs require:

• Minimum of one full year of training as a team
• Total commitment and willingness to work with your dog daily
• The ability to place practice sessions ahead of other pressing demands
• Stopping whatever you are doing to work with your dog when he/she is confused
or does not work properly
• Being patient and positive with your dog
• Play time and rewards for a job well done each and every time they work for
you
• Exercise and mental stimulation on a daily basis
• Family members to refrain from giving the dog attention until the dog has
completely bonded with the child

FACILITY DOG PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS


ABOUT OUR DOGS

We select dogs from area shelters based on temperament and age, not size, sex,
or appearance. All of our Dogs receive extensive program work and obedience
training. Facility Dogs can provide a calming effect, allowing the professional
to better serve or treat their clients. These dogs do not have public access
except when accompanying the professionals and their clients in order to provide
assistance to the clients.

Our standards and criteria for determining whether or not a dog is suitable for
access to public places are very high. Only dogs that can ignore other dogs,
handle being exposed to busy, noisy and crowded environments as well as
comfortable with all types of people are appropriate to be in public.

When we match a Dog with a client, we look at a variety of factors: the needs of
the client both for work at home and in public, lifestyle and energy level and
