Deaf Dogs Rock – it all started with an abandoned deaf boxer pup named Nitro (click here to read his story).
In a little over four years Deaf Dogs Rock has grown and evolved from a family wishing to help others by providing information to a non-profit organization run by a board of directors, approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity. International reach, hundreds of dogs saved, a community of 40,000+ sharing support, it has been a pleasure and we are incredibly excited about the future of the organization.
As a non-profit charitable organization, Deaf Dogs Rock will always be 100% transparent to the public. On this page you’ll find our mission statement, our organizing documents, and a brief introduction to our board of directors.
Deaf Dogs Rock, Inc is a non-profit corporation formed in 2012 in the state of Virginia. The mission of Deaf Dogs Rock is to promote the care and well being of deaf dogs. This charitable and educational purpose is done through the education of the public regarding the adoption, care, and training of deaf dogs, and through financial support of the shelter, medical, and transportation needs of deaf dogs. Additionally, Deaf Dogs Rock is a national resource for information serving perspective and current deaf dog owners, and the shelters and rescues that have deaf dogs available for adoption.
