BETTY BOOP
Betty
One of our trainers found Betty, a small, brown, Spaniel mix, at ARF in California. She was cute and lovable and initially seemed to have what it takes to be a Hearing Dog. After bringing her to our facility and doing further evaluation, we realized that she had a number of fears that prevented her from continuing in the Hearing Dog program. (Hearing Dogs must have a lot of confidence and not be afraid of all the people, noises, activity, and things in the real world.) When she was ready for placement, we found a wonderful home for her with Aurellia and David B. Betty now is in her forever home, enjoying lots of love and playtime.

19th Annual DOG WALK... Come Visit & Walk With Us!

If you are interested in attending Dog Walk this year, we would love to see you. Come join hundreds of other walkers and their canine friends as we stroll down the Bear Creek Greenway in Medford, Oregon. Each year we have supporters attend from all over California, Oregon, and Washington. Some people plan their vacations to the beautiful Rogue Valley at that time of year. While here, you can take a tour of our new Visitor Center and meet some of our staff and canine trainees.
There will be FUN contests, commemorative t-shirts, food, a photo booth, Kids' Zone, agility demonstrations, vendors and lots more! This year's event and costume theme is "2010: A Space Odyssey," so be creative!
Shasta - My Hearing Dog
Shasta
By Patricia P., Oregon
You brought Shasta to me five years ago - how time flies. She is with me 24/7 and, needless to say, we are joined together in mind.
It never ceases to amaze me what that little dog that stood at my door would do in my life. Yes, she helps me every day with sounds and is so happy to be my little helper, but that is only the beginning. She is an ambassador to meeting people and making people happy. Sometimes I am going down an aisle in a store and see a person looking, oh, so unhappy. Then they see Shasta and a smile comes to their face. They always look at me and say, "Cute dog."
Thank you all at DFD for giving me such meaning in my life. I love to donate every month and certainly wish it could be more, but maybe that will help just a little bit to give someone such happiness and pride you have given me.
