Lions Hearing Dogs Incorporated, Verdun, SA

Lions Hearing Dogs is a not-for-profit organisation that provides hearing dogs and training in their use to hearing impaired people throughout Australia. Dogs and follow-up support are provided free of charge. We’ve supplied nearly 500 dogs Australia-wide since 1982. The majority of our funding comes from Australian Lions clubs which, together with other donations and sponsorship, makes it possible for us to produce highly trained and effective hearing dogs. We have an executive officer, a head trainer and four trainers, an assistant trainer, a kennel manager and two kennel staff. We do not have volunteers at our centre, but new owners are supported by their sponsoring Lions club when they receive their dogs. Our training centre in the Adelaide Hills is on six acres that contains all the kennels and training facilities. Visit our centre and see how our hearing dogs work.
