Hearing Dogs for Deaf People NZ

Hearing Dogs for Deaf People NZ provides specially trained dogs that help deaf & hearing impaired people be more independent & have a better quality of life.

Deafness is often extremely isolating, especially for those who are not born deaf &/or do not sign. People who acquire deafness in later life can frequently lose the confidence to even leave their homes & hold down their jobs. A well-trained disability support dog can usually be guaranteed to encourage someone to regain this lost confidence to walk out of their front door again.

As an accredited member of Assistance Dogs International, their dogs are trained to international standards at their national training centre based in New Plymouth, Taranaki.
