Arkansas Deaf Dogs

<< Back to US map

	Town: Garfield, Arkansas Deaf dog: Mr. Pink is a 10 month old Boxer. This was my third Boxer to buy and my second white Boxer. My first was not deaf at all. I do have to say that training is a little bit harder than the other two. I picked Mr. Pink up from a breeder who told me that they did not think he was deaf. But I thought otherwise when he was in my lap on the car ride home and my phone rang and he did not move. So far he is pretty good other than normal puppy problems. Human companions: Audra, her Husband and Son (7) and one on the way Other pets: Hearing male Boxer (Bear) 9 years old and the biggest baby Email: audramckinney_AT_yahoo.com
	Town: Pochontas, Arkansas Deaf dog: Layla is a 1 year old Australian Shepherd. Layla is what is called a lethal white, it is where the dog has Double Merle genes. Double Merle pups are born when both of the parents have the merle gene. Double Merles will have hearing deficiencies, minimal hearing loss, or eye defects. I got her from a breeder and I don't reget one bit of it either, I love her. I never had deaf dog and I really don't know what to do but each day we learn something new about each other. I would really like to know how I can communicate with her. She still barks and acts like a normal dog like the others. She is a very good dog and I wouldn't trade her for anything! Human companions: Lacy Other pets: I have a 3 year old Yorkie, 4 year old tea cup Chihuahua, and a 9 month old Chihuahua Email: lacy_loves_andrew_AT_hotmail.com
Snowbear Xena	Town: Langley, Arkansas Deaf dog: Snowbear is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd. My "Bearus" was found wandering in Waterloo, Iowa and ended up in a kill shelter at an approximate age of 10 months. I found him on an internet adoption website and drove to Iowa, picked him up & brought him back to Arkansas. He's my big furry buddy and I haven't regretted adopting him even once! He's pretty much a "lounge lizard", and likes to spend lots of quality time lying on the bed and watching TV.We make a good pair!! Xena is a 7 year old Australian Shepherd. My Xena was found wandering the streets of Atlanta, Georgia and ended up in a kill shelter. She was fostered by a wonderful lady named Dona, who listed her on a rescue site where I found her. Xena got to fly from Georgia to Arkansas on a plane, then rode from Little rock to our home in Langley, Arkansas. Xena's favorite hobby is digging holes and then barking into them! She will do this for hours. I don't really understand why she does it, but if she enjoys it I don't have a problem with it. She's a wonderful companion and never causes any problems. Human companions: Mark Other pets: Queenie, Coalie, Patchy, Bootsie, Bambi, Sissy, Blackie, Buddy, Missy, Murphy, Hollywood, Kirby, Arrow, Spotty, Bonnie, Allie, Tanner, and our fat black kitty, Purris!

	Town: Booneville, Arkansas Deaf dog: Keller is a 2 month old Walker. Keller, otherwise known as Kelly, from what I was told was found wandering around a creek a mile from town. Brought to a home of a drunk. Saved by my sister in law. Given a home by me. She is wonderful, I have had her three days and she already knows two signs. C'mere and "no" and working on good dog ( I think she has the hang of that.) I wish the dogs that could hear minded as well as my baby who can't. Human companions: Me, 23, Mommy Fiance, James, 23, Daddy Other pets: Cereal Killer (Kill-Kill)...Chihuahua, Beebe...Amazon of Chihuahuas, Rosie Bloodhound/Klutz/Kelly's Soulmate Email: Onarae_belle@yahoo.com
	Town: Mountain Home, Arkansas Deaf dog: Ellie is a 2 year old Collie, Lacey is also a 2 year old Collie. My girls came from a Collie rescue in Ohio. They were rescued from a puppy mill on the Missouri/ Nebraska border. I drove to Kentucky to get them. I'd watched the rescue website for a few months and was in no hurry to get another dog. I already have 2 dogs. I was looking for an adult that would be easier to blend in with my boys, Roadie and Goliath. But when I saw the profile on the girls, I knew they were the ones. I knew they needed to stay together and be in a home where they would be loved and appreciated for who they are. They are not Lassie wannabe's. Ellie and Lacey are the best! Unless I tell people that they can't hear, nobody knows. Lacey's favorite thing is to chase the ball. She does have some vision impairment, but her nose can find the ball when her eyes can't. I have noticed that many times she doesn't see the ball go. So she watches Ellie and chases her to find the ball. Ellie only brings it back about half the time. Lacey would chase it til she dropped if I let her. Human companions: Sandra and Doug Campbell Other pets: Roadie, 14 year old Golden mix; Goliath, 12 year old Irish Wolfhound mix; Skunk Kitty, 16 year old Kitty ; Quila, 12 year old Paint Horse; Sister and Pretty, 1 year old flying squirrels Email: sandeecbell@yahoo.com
	Town: Hot Springs, Arkansas Deaf dog: Ceasar is a 6 or 7 year old Dalmatain/Pit. I found him on Petfinders. It was love at first sight. He was rescued from a shelter and in foster care for a year before I got him. I didn't know if I could handle a deaf dog, but I can say that it has been a wonderful experience. He watches you all the time unlike hearing dogs. He doesn't bark when all the neighborhood dogs are barking. I take him on fire calls with me because the sirens don't hurt his ears. He has been a great joy in my life. I'm so glad I took a chance on him. Human companions: Melinda & Fuji Horn Email: scubamel@sbcglobal.net
	Town: North Little Rock, Arkansas Deaf dog: Jackson is a 5 year old Boxer. My husband and I wanted to get a dog, so we met with a breeder and they did not have many left. Actually, all they had was a sad looking white one. We decided to buy him thinking we would have a very unique dog. Unique was one word for him. We were unaware of the fact that white boxers can go deaf, we just thought he had a bad attitude problem. We went through three sets of living room furniture before finding out that we were the ones who had it all wrong. After learning more about deaf dogs we were finally able to keep a set of living room furniture! We tease him now and call him the great white lover. It does not matter who you are, if you are in a seated position he is your new snuggle bunny! Human companions: Whitney Sexton, husband and baby on the way Other pets: Email: bigboxer-99@yahoo.com
Ruca	Town: Heber Springs, Arkansas Deaf dog: Ruca ia a 2 year old Bull Terrier. My uncle breeds Bull Terriers and I have always wanted one, so I asked him how I could get one. He had a litter about 3 months old with a deaf female so I took her home and had her about 2 years now. she is very sweet but destroys everything when you leave. Human companions: Jason Hogan Fitzpatrick Other pets: 1 female half Pit Bull and half Blue Healer Email: panamathebum@yahoo.com

	Town: Little Rock, Arkansas Deaf dog: Riley is a 6 month old white Boxer. "We adopted Riley about a month ago. He is the brightest dog and he already knows the signs for sit, stay, down, no, and shake. He stays busy by chasing a flashlight beam around until he's dizzy. His favorite treat is a pile of ice cubes in his water bowl. He can't get enough of those things!" Human companions: Jerra and Kenneth Parris Other pets: Buster, a Boston Terrier and Mozart, an English Bulldog. Email: Capulette1@aol.com

	Town: Clarksville, Arkansas Deaf dog: I purchased Jack under the impression that he would lead a "normal" life, but afer a few days I realized my new baby could'nt hear me. I love him just the same and he is a wonderful companion. We have a challenging road ahead of us but I feel confident in my choice to keep and love my new baby. He is doing so well with his crate and potty training he impresses me more and more each day. Human companions: Christa, Beth, Rachel Other pets: Wally, a mini and mischievous Shih-Tzu Email: ambulance_rider@yahoo.com

Marley	Town: Little Rock, Arkansas Deaf dog: Marley's human companion writes: "I got her from a "dalmatian breeder" in North Carolina. She turned out to be not a good breeder at all. She told me that Marley was deaf but I was going to take her anyway. She then told me that she had friends who had offered her $500 for the deaf puppy. I told her no way and she gave in and gave her to me for free (I had to pay shipping though). Marley is a very sweet dog. She is a lot more well behaved than my dal that can hear. She is a lot sweeter too. " Human companions: Mary Anne Thomason Other pets: Weston, 2 1/2 year old dalmatian (has epilepsy) Cuddles, 1 1/2 year old cat, and Lucy, 3 year old cat Email: kurtshappiness@hotmail.com
