Kaya is a 12 month old purebred pit bull. She is gorgeous, completely healthy and an incredible athlete. Kaya is deaf but it does not slow her down a bit!
She is wholly socialized with other dogs and can play for hours- no exaggeration! Kaya is not dominant and will try to play with any human or animal. She is too rough playing for small dogs, cats, small kids or furry creatures. She is not aggressive she just does not realize she weighs 45 pounds. She is always ready to go- walking, hiking, dog park, car rides anywhere her people go. Kaya has some hand signal training but would benefit from more. Kaya is very intelligent and does best when she is involved with people and getting a good amount of exercise. She is an active dog but very willing to take direction. Kaya is in the Seattle/Tacoma WA area. Please e-mail to this address. This is a desperate situation and she has no where to go but back to the vet she came from and they will euthanize her. I am not into threats to get help but this is an emergency. She is healthy, spayed and chipped and ready to go!

I have 2 special need lab puppies in search of homes.  They were born with megaesophagus and presently eat mashed puppy food from an elevated position, get burped and have quiet time after feeds.  They had 8 littermates that have already been placed with special families.  These pups will need to eat mashed food 3-4 times a day and be elevated after feeding for the rest of their lives.  Otherwise they are happy and playful. Up to date on shots.  9 weeks old.  Great for someone who is retired or has a flexible schedule.  I am hoping that you may know of some avenues that might be able to help them find their home.  Their future is hopeful.  The radiologist feels they should be able to lead a fairly good pet life with feeding considerations.  Any suggestions would be helpful.   Thank You

Phoenix is a deaf catahoula mix. He is 1 year old, a red merle, and very energetic. he's outgoing and loves people. he'd bark at them for attention and to tell them to come over and pet him. He gets along with dogs, but once was attacked by a dominant male so any dominance makes him nervous. he'd be happiest in a home with an assertive but easy going male dog, or a female dog. He cannot be in a home with cats because he likes to try to play too rough and will hurt them. he loves children and insists on zealously bestowing doggy kisses on them but that tends to overwhelm young children so older children are best. He is crate trained and had completed four weeks of doggy boot camp for obedience so he has come back with a lot of signs he knows. He knows sit, lie down, stay, no, bad dog, good dog, come here, go play, shake, and go to your crate.
He is neutered and up to date on his shots. His adoption fee is $150.00

Marley is a sweet mellow 8 months old male australian shepherd. He is deaf and once thought to be blind as well but after a vet exam, he is not blind. He was rescued from a kill shelter before he was scheduled to be put to sleep. He gets along with all dogs and cats and is in a foster home that has both. He loves people and loves to get attention. He is being trained on sign and responds very well.
He's neutered and up to date on his shots. He's being fostered in Valpo, IN. His adoption fee is $150.00
If you're interested, please contact his foster mother, Angel Korba at 219 263-6796

I helped a family get a dog from KY. The dog looked like a "lethal white" Aussie to me, but I asked the warden 3 times if the dog could hear, and he assured me that he could. Well, surprise, the dog is deaf and the family does not want him. He is here with me, which was never my intention, as I have a 14-year old Aussie dying of a lung tumor. I also have NO experience with deaf dogs, and as my own dog is requiring so much of time in her last few weeks, I cannot do right by this deaf dog. He is an 10-month old male, neutered, UTD on all vaccination & Heart Worm- & on preventative. He is a sunny, happy fellow, loves everybody he meets, gets along with all other dogs and finds cats fun to chase if they run. If they don't run, he ignores them. He is BIG - about 60 pounds now with some growing to do. He knows
how to shake hands, is crate trained, and walks well on a leash. He is in MA.
I simply do not have the time nor experience that this guy needs in this critical period in his life.
Any help finding him a place to go would be most appreciated. And yes, he is a male, but we are calling him Helen in honor of Helen Keller. He'll never know... Best, and thank you for any help with him. Linda lindarollins38@comcast.net

Mickey the blind Akita, he is approx. 2 years of old.   Mickey is a real lover, he is good with other dogs, children however he is not a cat lover. Mickey is full and energy and fun, walks well on lead.  Mickey has been seen by Dr. Miller a K 9 eye specialist and he is completely blind.  Mickey was left tied to a light pole on the corner of a busy intersection in the heat of the day.     Dr. Miller states Mickey can live a good life when placed in a forever home once he learns his way around his home.   He could also do well with another dog as his seeing eye dog.  Sometimes another dog will take on the responsibility of a dog with disability.   We will cover the cost of his neuter and we will pay to ship him whereever he needs to go for a forever home if necessary.   EKCURTIS1@aol.com

 

 


 

Bentley is a schnauzer mix who also has quite a tale to tell. Bentley went into foster care many months ago but sadly developed a case of distemper a short time later. Many dogs can’t pull through this vicious disease, but Bentley is a little fighter. He just refused to give up, and managed to survive! The sad part is that it left him with permanent nerve damage. He basically has a nervous “twitch”. You barely notice it when he’s running and playing like any dog…but when he lays down or sleeps you see quite clearly. It almost looks like he has a bad case of the hiccups. It is most likely permanent damage, but it does not bother Bentley in the least! He still likes to play outside, go on walks and lay around the house like any dog. He is about 3 years old now, heartworm negative and in otherwise great health. The vet says that the nerve damage should not hinder him in any way. Bentley would do best in a home with only female dogs (he likes to be the only male!) Is anyone out there looking for a “special” boy who will love them forever, dispite his disability?? Contact Kathy at kdeffebach@sbcglobal.net if you are interested.

My name is Andrew. My girlfriend, from Union NJ, has an 8-9 year old yellow lab/beagle mix with a heart murmur and can no longer afford the medical bills. She refuses to put her down or send her to a shelter that will only put her down. Can you help? We would love for Maggie to have a home or sanctuary, so she can enjoy the rest of her life.

P.J. is a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix who is currently scheduled to be euthanized at Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter in Bozeman, MT. Before coming to the shelter, PJ was hit by a tractor and lost one eye. He is now blind on one side and also sustained some damage to his hip. The reason he is being put down is because, while he is not in any pain at the moment, he may need to have one of his legs amputated 2-3 years down the road. PJ is a sweet, gentle boy who loves people and most other dogs. He is neutered, housebroken, and fully vaccinated. I would also be willing to transport PJ to a potential home and pay for his food and medical costs for the first year. If interested, please contact me at: (406) 586-0186.   For PJ's picture: http://montanapets.org/hsgv/pictures/08-0404.html

 


 

 
A couple of months ago Daisy came to our shelter as a stray. We soon found out that she is partially deaf and that she has epilepsy. She is a beautiful girl and really wants to find the right family. She loves other dogs, loves kids and actually gets along great with cats!! She was going to be put down because of her "bully breed" (Dogo or Pitbull) looks and medical condition but the staff all fell in love with her and now we are trying to find a home for her. Medication is cheap and she hears well enough to understand commands. Now all she needs is a home!!!!!!!! Could she be so lucky to find a home?? Someone who actually loves her for who she is???

I'm trying to help a kill shelter find a rescue for a blind and partially deaf lab.  Are there any rescues that specialize in these "special" pets??  This pet is located in Greensburg IN.  I can try to help with transport as well.

Lancaster,Ohio: Moroco is a 1 year old Husky/Shepherd mix. He was left at grandma and grandpa's house because he didn't like dad's girlfriend.   Grandpa doesn't like him because he is deaf and has some problems understanding. Moroco tries to get along with Grandpa's boxer but there are some issues there as well. 
No one wants to pay for any training to help him learn to behave and communicate. 
Grandpa is taking Moroco to the pound in two (2) weeks if a home or placement is not found.
Please pass the word to all you know who might be able to help.
Thank you Denise Beery recon0309@yahoo.com 614-288-7804 


I have been a volunteer with Pets Alive Rescue in Helena, AL for the past 4 years. I have since moved to Ann Arbor, MI but still continue to support this great rescue group. We rescued a dog that has been diagnosed with cerebellar dysfunction. They think she had damage to her brain stem during the birthing process. She shakes like she has Parkinson's disease. She is still when she sleeps. We have named her Dancer because she just dances around. She is about 10 months old and has been spayed.  Dancer has been in a wonderful foster home with another dog with the same condition. The foster parents have to give her up because she has become aggressive around other dogs. We truly feel this is because of her disability. We have had her treated by a holistic vet who has been giving her herbs and acupuncture. Dancer really has been doing very well. She NEEDS a home with no other pets and with people who will give her the love she deserves. I have never seen her aggressive around people. The rest of her litter mates were all born OK and they all have good homes. Please let me know if you can help our little gal. We can get her to you and I would be glad to make a donation in her honor. Laurie Bell, Ann Arbor, MI GABell4@aol.com


 

 

Molly is a blind and partially deaf great pyrenees who was found dumped in a field wandering in circles. She is a big sweet beautiful girl. Molly has had her rabies shot and they removed her back dew claws as her's had grown in and were infected.  The vet said that Molly's blindness is from glaucoma, and that she is well past the painful part of that condition.  She can hear some and will turn to your voice.  He estimated her to be approximately 3-4 years old.  She appears to be spayed.  She is a large dog and probably weighs around 125 pounds. She needs to be in a smaller area, with defined boundaries so she has something to orient herself to.  When she is in large, open areas, she will simply go in circles.
 She is very sweet and loving.  She does well with the foster's other dogs, two females and one male.  She can be mildly food agressive  She can be a little leary of men at first but does warm up with time.
 She does well inside or outside, and seems to be well mannered.  She does best outside walking on her leash with her seeing eye person by her side.  She is also good with children. The foster's neighbor has six. 
If you can open your heart to this beautiful sweet girl who happens to be blind, please let us know.

Sierra (7 years) and her mom Sara (11 years) are purebred chocolate Labrador Retrievers.  Sierra and Sara were left behind when their owner's house was foreclosed in Nevada, so Central California Labrador Retriever Rescue took them in.  Sierra is blind.  She has detached retinas in both eyes and nothing can be done to correct her vision, but that doesn't bother her!  She gets around just fine...she follows Sara who watches out for her.  Sierra also has a condition called dwarfism, which gives her shorter legs, but she doesn't care if people think she's part Basset Hound!  Sierra is simply a love...she plays, gets silly and gives you kisses.  Sara is also playful and so sweet and easy to have around. We are looking for a very special home for these two and do not want to separate them. Both girls love attention and follow their foster mom everywhere. They adore being in the house.  Mama Sara loves stuffed toys and has a great time playing with them.  Both girls are quite active and love to walk with a coupler (so you only need one leash for the two) so Sierra can be touching her mom as they walk.  If you adopt these two girls, you will be rewarded with their undying devotion and you will know that you've saved two labs that REALLY need saving.  So far no one has called.  Might you be the one to give these lovely, sweet girls a home?   For more information call Nancy @ 925-228-6192 (home) or 925-482-5155 (cell) or e-mail nbrauer@sbcglobal.net.  Martinez, CA
