Paragon Service Dogs

The mission of Paragon Service Dogs is to empower individuals with disabilities through the purposeful training of specially selected pups, the meticulous pairing of dog and handler, and unwavering support of the dog/handler team for the lifetime of the match.

Established in 1979, Paragon was first known as International Hearing Dogs, INC. IHDI began placing service hearing dogs in all 50 states and Canada. Our primary focus is training hearing-alert dogs. However, we have become accredited by ADI, Assistant Dogs International, and now we can place facility dogs within communities they'll serve.
