CENTRAL POINT, OR; Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. concluded their 2016-17 fiscal year at the end of June, having placed 82 dogs nationally, twenty-three of which were Assistance Dogs (Hearing – 20, Program – 2, and Autism – 1). This was no small feat, considering not every dog (rescue or otherwise) that goes through the organization’s cutting-edge and rigorous 4-6 month training program, qualifies in the end.
