Placement - Arlo the Hearing Dog


Arlo, an adorable, 2 year old, Shih Tzu, came to DFD in 2008 from a shelter in Yreka, California. After successfully completing almost 6 months of training with DFD Certified Audio Canine Instructor, Carrie, Arlo was ready to go to work as a Hearing Dog.

When each dog is almost finished with training, the trainer reviews the files of the applicants on the waiting list to find the very best match for each dog's particular personality, strengths, and talents. Carrie found that match in Sherry W. of Washington.

Carrie and Arlo traveled to Washington where Carrie began showing Sherry how to care for Arlo and maintain his training. As you can see from the picture, these two became fast friends

Congratulations, Arlo and Sherry!
