My Story…
Hello! This is the second year I'm running Falmouth for Dogs for Better Lives. I am proud to represent this wonderful organization as a recipient of a Certified Hearing Dog. Freya was placed with me in January of 2023 and she has been life changing. Freya alerts me to over 10 different sounds throughout the day, as well as providing environmental awareness. Because of Freya, I am confident enough to go out on my own again to the grocery store, work, and even camping!
The average cost to train an assistance dog is over $50,000 but DBL placed Freya with me free of charge. I want to raise money to help other people in need of this wonderful service get the dogs they deserve, and keep DBL free to clients. Please join me in supporting Dogs for Better Lives- every bit counts!
Description
Dogs for Better Lives trains and places Assistance Dogs free of charge with deaf or hard-of-hearing adults, children diagnosed with autism, and licensed professionals working with vulnerable communities so people with disabilities can lead safer and more independent lives. Our Northeast Training Campus opened in 2022 in Falmouth, and we're very excited to have a team of runners in the 52nd Falmouth Road Race, for a third year!
The average cost to train a service dog is $54,000 but we place our dogs at zero cost to our clients. Every dollar you raise for Dogs for Better Lives will go programmatic expenses.
