Town: Madera, California
Deaf dog: Murphy is a 5 year old Great Dane. I rescued Murphy
from the animal shelter in our town. She came into my work with a
broken hip, and the shelter could not afford to take care of her so
I decided to take her home and give her a chance. We were unsure if
Murphy was deaf until we got her home and noticed she didn't react
to sounds like our other dogs.

Town: Madera, California
Deaf dog: Murphy is a 5 year old Great Dane. Murphy was brought
into the Veterinary Hospital where I was doing my school externship
by our local animal control. She had a broken hip and weighed 90lbs.
Because of her broken hip she was to be euthanized. I fostered her
until her hip was healed then adopted her. She has been a joy to
us. Murphy is one of the most well behaved dogs I have ever had.
She watches to see what we want her to do and uses the other dogs
to know when to come to us. She knows basic commands using hand
signals. She gets along wonderfully with people, children and other
animals.

Other pets: 2 Dogs, and 2 Cats

Sugar
|
Town: Turlock, California
Deaf dog: Sugar is a 11 month old female white Boxer. She
was born deaf. We brought her home when she was 9 weeks and she
has been our baby since then. She is great with children that visit
our home and has enough energy to keep up with us. Sometimes too
much though. Training was hard but she is smart and has a heathly
appetite, which means she'll do anything for a treat. She has already
learned ten hand signs at this point (9/2002). She is very loving
and we try to pay her back all the love she gives. Visit Sugar's
web site by clicking

Human companions: Jamie and Priscilla Suarez
Other comments: Deaf dogs are not any less of a dog then
those with hearing. Sugar was born deaf and doesn't realize she
is missing a sense. She loves life and we love her!
