Africa Deaf Dogs

	Town: Hazyview, Mpumalanga, South Africa Deaf dog: Raven is a Blue Heeler. Raven arrived recently with us, after we found her at the SPCA - she was on her last days, and had her pen enclosed completely to try to reduce her stress, as she wasn't eating at all. It was only after we had had her home for about a week, somewhat confused by her apparent disregard for us, that we realised that she was completely deaf. The cause is unknown though probably congenital, and she is estimated to be about a year old. She has finally found her feet and is truly a sweetheart though training is difficult with the many distractions our particular situation offers - and a lot of space for her to romp which makes it hard to call her home! Human companions: Rick and Carolyn - owners, Renetta and Damien, senior staff - she is our "reptile park dog" at Perry's Bridge Reptile Park. Other pets: At the park, Viper and Hazel the cats, and PumPum, Peaches and Pumpkin the pigs - Raven has taken a liking to fighting with Viper which is causing us some concern.

	Town: Johannesburg, South Africa Deaf dog: Angel-Cake is a 1 year old Great Dane. Angel was recued at the age of 5 months, her previous "owner" didn't know she was deaf, so they assumed she was stupid. Angel was locked away as she was "un-trainable". When we adopted her she had no people skills, couldn't associate with other animals and worst of all, Angel didn't know how to play... 7 months later, Angel is the love of my life. She has such a passion for life and everyone around her. She now plays and romps with her other fur mates.. Human companions: Melinda, Madison-Willow (4yrs) and very tolerant Hubby Other pets: Talulah-Belle and Chloe (Yorkies)and Coco (Doxie) Email: melinda.delport@babcock.co.za
	Town: Johannesburg, South Africa Deaf dog: Radar is a 1 year old Boxer. We got Radar from a wonderful breeder. She is one of the few breeders in the country that doesn't euthanise her white boxer pups. Radar is a sweetheart in every sense of the word. He has completed his puppy and beginner obedience classes, and he steals the hearts of everyone he meets! He is a great ambassador for deaf dogs, and we are actively working to dispel all the silly deaf dog myths that people believe. Human companions: Mark and Verity Dokter Other pets: Tati (hearing Boxer) Email: verityanne@gmail.com
