Episode 9:
Willow is a hearing dog mum!
Posted by Elizabeth Murphy
Willow is the eleventh dog Clare has trained with Hearing Dogs. However, the arrival of hearing dog puppies is a first-time experience for her. In this exciting new chapter for both Clare and our mum-to-be, the Breeding Team at Hearing Dogs are on hand 24/7 to offer support.
“It’s all new to me and is a bit of a learning curve,” said Clare. “But like with anything new, it’s just not knowing what to expect. But I know I’ll get so much help. I’m also speaking to other volunteers who care for hearing dog mums and getting lots of tips!”
Willow’s loving and sociable nature has meant, for her, making friends is easy. And with their mum’s amazing qualities, Willow’s future puppies will become the most special of friends to the deaf people they’re matched with. They’ll give their future deaf partners loving companionship and a sense of safety and security that will transform their lives.
Soon, Willow will be meeting her very own life-changing match… as we’re now setting her up on a date with the perfect hearing dog dad!
We feel so proud of Willow and hope you do too. Thanks to all your support as her sponsor, she will make such a difference to deaf people across the UK and we know she’ll make a brilliant mum.
It would be amazing if you’d kindly consider sponsoring another puppy-in-training. But, whatever you decide, thank you so much for sponsoring Willow.
Hello, I’m Elizabeth and I work in the puppy sponsorship team. I am very lucky to get to know lots of the adorable pups who are training to be life-changing hearing dogs – they really are amazing!
