Mission

International Hearing Dogs mission is to empower individuals who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing by purposefully training specially selected dogs to alert to sounds, carefully matching these dogs with handlers who are deaf and hard of hearing and supporting the paired teams throughout the lifetime of the match. The IHDI team is committed to being a true advocate in the community for those we serve while providing our teams with lifetime support, continuously striving to bridge the gap between the d/Deaf and hard of hearing community.

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

"I know that my safety, my independence, and my quality of life in general would improve with the aid of a hearing dog in my life." Those are the words of a young applicant with progressive hearing loss. Many people, whether profoundly deaf since birth or with hearing loss later in life hope for a hearing dog to provide peace of mind, comfort, and increased safety. Since 2016, the number of people waiting to get a hearing dog has tripled.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Pair 20-30 teams across the country, yearly.

Continue to be a world leader in Hearing Dog training and placement. Since our inception we have helped other Hearing Dog programs begin in Japan, Norway, and Australia. We work to refine our application, training, and support processes with each dog.

Improve infrastructure of kennels, training arena, and office space to support our unparalleled care of dogs in training.

Provide education to hearing and non-hearing groups about what life is like for members of the deaf community and the work Hearing Dogs are trained to perform.

Continue placing dogs at no cost to the recipient. We are the only Hearing Dog training group that trains and pairs teams at no cost to the recipient, making Hearing Dogs and the assistance, companionship, and security they provide accessible to everyone.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Once selected, each dog receives a thorough medical examination to ensure a long healthy life. This includes blood work, vaccinations, and spay or neuter if necessary. During daily training sessions, dogs learn to respond to a variety of sounds:
--Doorbell or knock
--Telephone
--Emergency alarms
The dogs can also be custom trained to any sounds the individual needs, such as a baby cry, apartment buzzer, etc.

General obedience and socialization round out each dog's four to eight months of custom training.

A professional trainer delivers the Hearing Dog to its new home and works with the recipient for up to five days. The recipient is taught how to maintain the dog's training to ensure a good working relationship and proper care.

After placement and successful completion of a 90-day trial period, the dog is certified as a Hearing Dog and receives an orange collar, leash, and official ID card. Hearing Dogs have legal access to all public places while accompanied by their owner.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Hearing Dogs are all rescue dogs, generally mixed breeds, six months to a year in age, in good health, and with aim-to-please energetic personalities. We maintain excellent partnerships with local shelters and have expanded to adopting dogs on Death Row from New Mexico and Texas.

The staff is extensively trained and knowledgeable about Hearing Dogs. Our Executive Director is the daughter of one of the four founders and has spent her life working with dogs and the deaf community. Our Director of Training and Placements has been with IHDI for 20 years and has honed her skills creating exceptional teams between Hearing Dog and owner. Their combined experience results in our 95% success rate in placing Hearing Dogs across the country.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

We are proud to have successfully placed over 1,300 trained Hearing Dogs since 1979.

We look forward to continuing our training programs and placing dogs with owners to support independence, emotional health, and safety.

We are working toward upgrading kennel facilities to house more dogs in training to keep up with need.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
