We are excited to announce that Paragon Service Dogs will begin accepting applications June 1, 2025, through July 31, 2025. Applications are reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis during this window, so we encourage early submissions.
If you are interested in applying, please review our eligibility criteria and program description.
In 2025, Paragon Service Dogs transitioned to an open enrollment application model. Rather than accepting applications year-round, we are now opening applications to new first-time applicants during specific periods. This change helps us ensure the best possible matches between our dogs and clients. The open enrollment dates are selected based on our training capacity and the availability of suitable dogs. We'll announce dates throughout the year. If you want to be notified when we reopen applications, please fill out the form below.
Applications will open on Sunday, June 1, 2025, and close on Thursday, July 31, 2025.
If you are interested in applying, please review our eligibility criteria and program description. During this window, applications are reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis, so we encourage early submissions.
successor hearing dog applications (rolling basis)
Clients who have a Paragon hearing dog nearing retirement or have a Paragon hearing dog that has passed away within the last year are able to reapply for a hearing dog.
If you are a client in either of these positions, please get in touch with Heather McLaughlin.
