Mission

Dogs for better lives (dbl) is the oldest hearing dog training center in the u.s. And among one of the first assistance dog organizations in the world to be fully accredited by assistance dogs international. Dbl trainers must complete an in-depth apprenticeship program to become certified. Dbl is unique in that certified trainers bring the dogs to the clients' homes for placement, allowing for a customized and one-to-one support. Additionally, the organization has one of the most thorough follow-up programs in the assistance dog sector. In november 2017, the national nonprofit changed its name from dogs for the deaf to dogs for better lives to better encompass the range of assistance dogs it now trains and places, which includes hearing dogs, autism assistance dogs, facility dogs, and career change dogs.

Programs

1 program

Dbl's public education is primarily done through sharing of digital online media and printed materials, including its monthly enewsletter, quarter impact report, quarterly magazine, canine listener, and annual report. Regularly, the organization presents on campus, in-person, and virtually online to several diverse audiences across the nation, demonstrating how the dogs are trained to help people, need for puppy raisers and breeder caretakers for an ever-growing breeding program, and further need for regional volunteer leaders to advocate for its national programs.dbl is continuing to develop its volunteer programs through the launching and growth of its regional advisory boards (rab) across the country, including in california, pacific northwest (or, wa), texas, southeast (ga and fl), and northeast (ma, nj, nj, and va) regions. The rabs play a critical role in supporting dbl, through helping to advocate for and educate people about the organization's mission, share powerful impact, and engage volunteers, among other opportunities. As a result of its outreach and cultivation efforts, dbl continues to receive consistent income from bequests, foundations, community/club organizations, along with current donors, and the general public placing the organization in their estate plans.dbl's national board has continued to grow and diversify with 21 volunteer members currently, including 18 representatives outside of oregon across 13 states. The board includes clients, veterinarians, and an impressive diversification of backgrounds including marketing, law, finance, information technology, medicine, and human resources. Companies represented, include microsoft, alaska airlines, f5, boehringer ingelheim, lithia motors, u.s. Bank, goodrx, trimble, and toyota, among others.
