Apply for a Hearing Dog
Hearing Dogs are trained to alert their deaf owners by touch and lead them to everyday sounds, such as a door knock, smoke alarm or telephone.
To apply for a Hearing Dog:
You must be a resident of Texas
The Hearing Dog needs to be the only dog in the home. Other types of pets (cats, etc.) are okay, but another dog is too big a distraction to training.
THSD does not train a dog already owned by an applicant.
You must be at least 18 years old to apply. We prefer dealing directly with the person applying for the Hearing or Service Dog.
- What happens after I apply?
- After we receive your completed application and $25 non-refundable application fee, we will schedule you to attend an Applicant Orientation at our Training Campus in Dripping Springs, near Austin. Read about the Applicant Orientation.
