Nightcliff Lions sponsors local communtiy members to get a Lions Hearing Dog.

Lions hearing dogs gives a new quality of life to those hearing impaired. When community members receive a Lions Hearing Dog, Nightcliff Lions helps with the acclimatization and training of the dog, just like Kerry of Palmerston and his dog Howie. 

​

Lions Hearing Dogs costs $30,000 to train. This covers the initial purchase of the dog from the shelter, food, veterinary tests and treatments, staff for training and kennel management and more.

​
