  • Glendale woman hears through her Chihuahua's ears

    Judy Springborn's Apple Pie would put others to shame, and not because of some top-secret recipe. Apple Pie is actually a 6-pound Chihuahua-mix that helps the 72-year-old deaf Glendale resident with daily living, following five months of training in Oregon after being saved from being euthanized at an animal shelter in Fresno.

Good Sam Club

In 1980 the Good Sam Club adopted DFD as its official charity.
 
With encouragement from Good Sam Headquarters, members and chapters all across the United States and Canada support Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. in the following ways:
  • Good Sam members put on a variety of fund raising events and work very hard, using their energy and enthusiasm to help these unique dogs and special people
  • Good Sam members conduct many in-home interviews of applicants for dogs, saving Dogs for the Deaf a considerable amount of time and money.
  • As Good Sammers travel and meet new people, they spread the word of the wonderful service provided by Dogs for the Deaf. This has been an immense help in increasing our network of applicants and donors.

We want all Good Sam members to know how important their support is to the success of our mission of saving dogs and helping people and how much we appreciate their hard work. Good Sammers, with their dedication to helping others, are making a miraculous difference in the lives of both people and dogs by supporting Dogs for the Deaf, Inc.

David D., Washington State Good Sam Coordinator, and his brother Darrell visted us and camped in the parking lot while also doing a little sightseeing in southern Oregon. While here, Dave met with Robin Dickson and Kimberly Miller and presented DFD with donations totaling $11,000.00! He also brought things to help care for the dogs and a variety of items we can use for fundraising.

Good Sam and DFD - together we make miracles happen!
