What is Lions Hearing Dogs!
Lions Hearing Dogs provides hearing dogs & training in their use to hearing
impaired people throughout Australia. Dogs & follow-up support are provided
free of charge.
Lions Hearing Dogs in Australia was conceived in 1980 when 2 Lions Past
District Governors, attending a Lions International Convention in the USA, saw
the good work of a hearing dogs training centre in Colorado.
Lions Clubs of Australia agreed to support & fund a hearing dogs training
centre in Australia and property at Verdun in the Adelaide Hills of South
Australia was purchased. Gail Gould from the American program came out for
two years to start the Lions Hearing Dog program.
The first Lions hearing dog named Amber, sponsored by the Lions Club of
Edwardstown was delivered in 1982 to a recipient from Adelaide. Amber died in
1995.
Since 1982 the Lions Hearing Dog Centre has placed nearly 500 hearing dogs
to recipients Australia wide.
Most funding comes from Australian Lions clubs which, together with other
donations & sponsorship, makes it possible for the centre to produce highly
trained & effective hearing dogs.
The Verdun facility has an executive officer, a head trainer & four trainers, an
assistant trainer, a kennel manager & two kennel staff. New owners are
supported by their sponsoring Lions club.
The centre is on six acres that contains all the kennels & training facilities for accommodating & training the
dogs.
"Did you know it costs approximately $30,000 to train one dog?"
Should you wish to make a donation, you or your club knows of a
person needing such assistance, or wishes to sponsor a dog’s training and
placement, please enquire via E: [email protected].

services of Bruce ‘Dizzy’ Raymond, a world renown
entertainment coordinator from Adelaide who will now

social functions throughout the ANZI Adelaide 2014.
Bruce is known for his many years as musical director

many top line artists around the world.
It is believed that because of his knowledge of &

may also be looking for accommodation.
