Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. Assistance Dogs International Canine Listener Robin Dickson, Pres./CEO Fed. Tax ID #93-0681311 Spring 2011 • NO. 116 Dear Dogs for the Deaf Family, On June 16, 1981, Robin Dickson began working for Dogs for the Deaf. She began as a Trainer Apprentice, became a Certified Audio Canine Trainer, then Assistant Director, and President/CEO. For 30 years Robin has worked non-stop for this wonderful organization. As our President and CEO, she has nurtured what was, in 1981, a very small organization into one of the top (and most respected) Assistance Dog programs in the country. Robin has touched a lot of lives during those years, made countless friends, and played a key role in saving thousands of dogs from some very uncertain futures. The Staff and Board of Directors at Dogs for the Deaf want to publicly thank Robin Dickson for 30 years of service. Congratulations, Robin, on your 30th Anniversary at Dogs for the Deaf! We will never be able to thank you enough for your faithful leadership, but we would certainly like to try during the next 30 years! Sincerely, Marvin Rhodes Robin and Bonsai DFD Board of Directors Chair P.S. We would like to make a Book of Remembrance for Robin and encourage you to send a note of congratulations or a special DFD memory to DFD by June 15. We will put all the notes into the book and present it to Robin. GREATEST GIFT Our friends at Ram Offset Lithogra- March 3, 2011 phers have graciously donated the full color pages in this newsletter.

He was picked up as a stray by SCRAPS Animal Shelter and, sadly, no one came looking for him. In spite of his bad experiences, he was a happy, very sweet, and intelligent little guy who just wanted to be loved. PAWS called us to see if we might be interested in him and, after evaluation, we knew he was a suitable candidate for training. Cory learned his obedience training and house manners. He loved pleasing his trainer. He also learned to play the “sound game” and realized it could be really fun finding the sound and then taking his trainer to it. He loved the toys and treats he received as rewards. Jan, Cary and Jack When he was ready for placement, his trainer looked for the best match for Cory, where he could put his love and skills to best use. The right place for Cory was with Jan and Jack A. Both of them are retired, and their Sheltie had died at 21 years of age. They quickly realized how much help the dog had been and how much they missed him. Jack has health issues that result in hypoglycemic episodes. He needs to exercise more, and having a dog is a great motivator for walking more and exercising more. Jack said, “Having a dog will be a great ‘exercise enforcer’ for both of us.” Jan has hearing loss. Sometimes she can hear the sounds, but she can’t tell where they are coming from. Thus Cory would be doing double duty, helping Jan with sounds and keeping them both healthier and happier. Jan and Jack eagerly awaited Cory’s arrival. First Cory’s trainer let him get used to his new home and family. After getting acquainted, they began showing Jan and Jack how Cory was trained and what he could do. Then the trainer began training Jan and Jack so that they could maintain Cory’s training. Jan and Jack were both so happy with Cory and amazed at how smart and talented he was. Cory is very happy to be receiving the loving care he deserves, and Jan and Jack are thrilled to have Cory to help both of them with their special needs. Meka the Miracle Mutt Lauren S. is retired and lives alone. She has depression and problems walking, causing her to use a quad cane or walker. The daily struggles of life were getting overwhelming. Lauren decided to apply for a Miracle Mutt in order to have someone to take care of and so she would not feel so alone. She also knew that getting out of the house for walks would help make life much, much better. We found the perfect dog for Lauren at the Fresno, California, shelter. Meka, a tiny, 2 ½ year old, red, Terrier/Chihuahua cross had been picked up as a scared stray. She needed the security and love of a forever home, and she was very willing to provide a lot of fun and love in return. After a thorough medical evaluation, she was ready to begin training. While at our facility in training, Meka realized life was good again, and she became happier and regained her zest for life. She loved her trainer and would do just about anything to please as she went through training. When training was completed, Meka was ready to meet Lauren. At this first meeting, Lauren said when she first saw Meka, she knew Meka would be perfect for her. Meka quickly checked out her new surroundings and then curled Lauren and Meka up at Lauren’s feet as if she knew this was where she belonged. This new team is bonding and learning to work together, and Lauren is already feeling more social and less lonely and depressed. With Meka by her side, Lauren has shown off her new helper to all of her neighbors.

Spring 2011 • Canine Listener • Page 3 Scooter, the Chiropractor’s Assistant Janice J. had been deaf for about 20 years and is a chiropractor and consultant. Janice lost her hearing suddenly due to illness and medications. The world of silence was devastating, and she moved and quit her career. After learning about DFD, she applied for and received her first Hearing Dog Cajun. With Cajun by her side, Janice returned to her chiropractic practice and to teaching. This twosome was inseparable and a fantastic team for many years until he passed away. Then, Janice returned to the world of silence. After working through the tremendous loss of Cajun, Janice let us know she was ready for a new partner. Scooter was the right dog for Janice. A 2 ½ year old beige and black, Shih Tzu mix from the Marion County Shelter, Scooter had been a stray. He was perky and confident, in spite of his past. He underwent the normal medical evaluation and necessary treatments and then was ready to begin training. Obedience training, socialization, and learning to respond to the sounds were part of his every day schedule. He enjoyed each new challenge and was ready for anything. Once training was complete, it was time for Scooter and Janice to meet. Janice and Scooter The trainer and Scooter arrived at Janice’s home, and it was hard to tell who was more excited, Janice or Scooter. They got to know each other and then Scooter began showing Janice what he could do. One day during the placement, they had been very busy and had done a lot of walking. That evening, Scooter alerted Janice and took her to the bedroom. There were no sounds occurring, but he was telling her it was time to go to sleep. At this point, Janice knew that Scooter felt at home and would get her attention and communicate with her. Scooter accompanies Janice to work every day and helps her both at work and at home.

    Canine Listener Robin Dickson, Pres./CEO Fed. Tax ID #93-0681311 Fall 2011 • NO. 118 The American Humane Association (AHA) held a very special event this year - the HERO DOG AWARDS INAUGURAL EVENT. AHA started the event by establishing eight categories of Hero Dogs. Those categories were: Law Enforcement/Arson Dog Service Dog Therapy Dog Military Dog Guide Dog Hearing Dog Search and Rescue Dog Emerging Hero Dog Dogs were nominated within each category and their stories were sent to AHA who posted the dogs’ pictures and stories on the internet so people could vote for their favorite Hero Dog. The partners of each dog chose a charity to receive a $5,000 prize if their dog won their category. Then, the winners of each category would go to Beverly Hills, California, for a red carpet gala awards ceremony where the overall Hero Dog Award winner would be chosen by a group of celeb- rity judges, and that overall winning team would receive an additional $10,000 for their charity. We were thrilled when one of our Hearing Dogs, Harley, won the Hearing Dog category, earning a trip to the awards ceremony and $5,000 for DFD. Although Harley did not win the overall award, we are so proud of him and Nancy & Harley his partner Nancy for representing all of our wonderfully trained Hearing Dog teams. Nancy wrote the following, telling of their experi- ences at this special red carpet event: “What a weekend of sights, sounds, feelings, re- alizations, disappointments, joys, triumphs, and inspirations! It was great fun, exhausting, exhila- rating, and so interesting.

  • BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’S Leading Veterinary Charity
    BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’s leading veterinary charity. Additional text and photos courtesy of Australian War Memorial and UK Flightglobal Archive. The most famous and the oldest of the charity’s awards is the PDSA Dickin Medal. It acknowledges outstanding acts of bravery displayed by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units in any theatre of war, worldwide. The Medal is recognised as the animals’ Victoria Cross and is the highest British honour for animal bravery in military conflicts. The medal was instituted in 1943 Maria Dickin. Maria Dickin CBE PDSA owes its foundation to the vision of one woman - Maria Elisabeth Dickin - and her determination to raise the status of animals, and the standard of their care, in society. During the First World War, Maria Dickin CBE worked to improve the dreadful state of animal health in the Whitechapel area of London. She wanted to open a clinic where East Enders living in poverty could receive free treatment for their sick and injured animals. Left: Despite the scepticism of the Establishment, Maria Dickin opened her free 'dispensary' in a Whitechapel basement on Saturday 17th November 1917. It was an immediate success and she was soon forced to find larger premises. Photo PDSA. Within six years this extraordinary woman had designed and equipped her first horse-drawn clinic and soon a fleet of mobile dispensaries was established. PDSA vehicles soon became a comforting and familiar sight throughout the country. With success came increased attention from her critics at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the Ministry of Agrigulture.

  • ICHS Success Stories
    ICHS Success Stories We have had hundreds of success stories here at I.C.H.S. Stories of lost pets finding a new loving forever home! On these pages we would like to share a few of these stories with you. If you have adopted a pet from I.C.H.S. and would like to share your story, please contact us. Never Give Up Hope! Yesterday was one of those days that we all dream about a miracle day! And it was all because of a senior dog named Lucky. Toffee, alias Lucky, had been hanging around the ICHS shelter since August 2012 when he arrived as a stray. This awesome little dog had been charming everyone he met but was still searching for his forever home. Since November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month, we decided that he was the perfect spokes dog for our Pet of the Week appearance on Channel 15’s Morning Show. He was an absolute star and we were sure hoping that he would finally get the home that he so richly deserved. Imagine our surprise when only 30 minutes after the show, there was a voice mail on the ICHS answering machine from someone claiming to be Toffee’s long-lost owner! But it was true!!! Toffee’s real name was Lucky and he had been missing for 4 years after getting loose. His family had spent months looking for him without success and had resigned themselves to the worst nightmare that a pet owner can have, that their beloved pet who had lived with them since his birth was irretrievably gone forever! They couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Lucky on Channel 15.
