Phoenix's Birthday Wish? More Puppy Raisers!

Hearing Dog Phoenix had only one wish for his birthday this year. For more Community Based Puppy Raisers (CBPR) to open their homes and their hearts to service puppies in training.

Hearing Dog Phoenix had only one wish for his birthday this year. For more Community Based Puppy Raisers (CBPR) to open their homes and their hearts to teach a puppy the fundamentals of basic manners and housebreaking, expose the puppy to positive interactions and give them a loving and enriching home during their formative puppyhood.

Becoming a CBPR is an excellent opportunity to give back to your community in a unique way, learn more about training dogs and experience the truly rewarding partnership between dog and handler. While there are many gratifying outcomes to being a CBPR, the greatest is giving the gift of a hearing service dog to a person who is d/Deaf or hard of hearing so they can lead a more fulfilling, independent life for years to come. Plus, you'll get to enjoy moments and memories like Stephanie & Warren did with Hearing Dog Phoenix. Thank you, Stephanie & Warren, for everything you have provided Phoenix, IHDI & his future handler!

Help Phoenix's wish come true! If you are willing to learn, teach, and open your home and heart to unleash a puppy's potential to become a life-changing service hearing dog, becoming a CBPR is the perfect volunteer experience for you!
