Hear No Evil
‘Hear No Evil’ is Australia’s leading rescue and re-homing group for deaf and special need dogs. They are considered a No Kill rescue, that means they Do Not Euthanise dogs for space or because they have been in care too long, nor because they are deemed unappealing to adopt.
They have a duty of care for each animal they take in as well as their carers, volunteers and the public. The only circumstances for euthanasia in their rescue occurs if the dog is considered mentally, or physically unsound, and this is only after professional advice from both a Qualified Dog trainer/behaviours AND a practicing Veterinarian. It is not a decision taken lightly, and it is never done in haste.
They strongly believe in Quality of life, and give every dog in their care the best chance they can to overcome any behaviour or medical issues in order to live Happy, Healthy, Safe lives.
They use positive training methods of incorporating basic easy to learn hand signals to ensure their dogs have basic manners and training prior to adoption. All of their dogs are desexed, microchipped and vaccinated before being adopted, as well as flea/tick treated and wormed while in their care. They offer ongoing support to any adopting families for life. ‘Hear No Evil’ even have a partnership with an assortment of dog trainers around the country to assist in sorting out any unwanted and unhealthy behaviours.
At ‘Hear No Evil’ they don’t just rescue and rehome, but provide information and advice to anyone who has a deaf dogs, and also to those people who may be interested or considering adopting a deaf dog. Hear No Evil would not exist without the tireless support of their dedicated volunteers and foster carers, but they can always use more help.
