DURING FISCAL YEAR ENDING 12/31/2020, DEAFINITELY DOGS PLACED 5 SERVICE DOGS, 2 PROFESSIONAL FACILITY DOGS, 2 EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOGS AND CAREER CHANGED 11 DOGS. ADAPTING TO OUR RESTRICTED WORLD WE CONDUCTED CLASSES VIRTUALLY AND DID ONLY ONE-ON-ONE PLACEMENTS OF DOGS. EXAMPLE OF OUR SUCCESS IS A TEACHER WHO HAS HEARING LOSS. SHE CANNOT HEAR THE STUDENTS CALL HER NAME SO HER HEARING DOG WAS TRAINED TOGET HER ATTENTION WHEN HER NAME IS CALLED. HER DOG WAS ALSO TRAINED TO VARIOUS SOUNDS INCLUDING STANDARD ALARM CLOCK, FIRE AND EMERGENCY TONES TO EITHER WAKE HER UP AND/OR GET HER ATTENTION. SHE IS THRIVING BOTH ACADEMICALLY AND PERSONALLY WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF HER HEARING DOG.$0$40,694
DEAFINITELY DOGS WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE AND GROW OUR PUPPY RAISER PROGRAM EVEN THOUGH COVID-19 AND SHUT DOWNS HALTED MOST IN-PERSON EVENTS. WE WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR CAMPUS PROGRAM AND BRING IN EMPLOYEES FROM A LARGE CORPORATION THAT EMBRACED OUR PROGRAM AT THEIR WORKSITE. CLASSES WERE HELD VIRTUALLY, OUTSIDE OR ONE-ON-ONE AS WE NAVIGATED THROUGHOUT THIS UNPRECIDENTED YEAR.$0$18,086
