Louie Grace	Town: Los Molinos, California Deaf dog: My name is Louie and I'm a 2 and 1/2 year old Scott Type American Bulldog, although I was listed in the Camarillo Shelter as a Pit Bull mix and because I am deaf I wasn't even listed as available for adoption. They just scheduled me for death... luckily someone noticed me and got me into a rescue. It took six hours of travel, one night's sleepover with two dogs who did not like me very much, and four individuals to get me to San Diego. This is where I was trained in sign language to "sit", "come", "go potty" and my favorite sign "good boy!". My rescuer received some pretty interesting applications; one simply stated "I'll pay cash today." I guess all deaf Pits are good for is bait for dog fighting... well my rescuer got attached and now I have a forever home. I now train and socialize other rescue dogs and have lived with over 400 dogs since my arrival. I even have my own page on the web www.myspace.com/louierescuedog Hi, I'm Grace and I'm a 19 month old Great Dane. I'm the newest addition to the staff at Critter Crossings Dog Rescue - my new Mom refers to me as her Dream Dog since she's wanted a special needs Dane for over a year... before she added Louie, she knew she would find me. Now I have a forever home with lots of space to roam, siblings who like me and a wonderful family who will take me everywhere they go - although I'm not so compact... Life is Grand! I have my own page too www.myspace.com/deafdanegirl We have two normal brothers, Rocky a Chihuahua that suffered from severe mange but is all better now and Fido who runs mom's rescue by assessing and training other dogs - they're not deaf but mom loves them just as much! We live on a doggy ranch which mommy calls "heaven on earth" Human companion: Jason, Julie, Madi, Jake & Lucas Other pets: Cocker Spaniel. Chihuahua, Dachshund (deaf as well) Email: crittercrossings@hotmail.com

Midge	Town: Marysville, California Deaf dog: We got Midge when she was just 5 months. We didn't know she was deaf, but once we found out, it didnt make a difference.

Human companions: Debra and Dollie Other pets: Two other dalmatians, Chip & Jolie, both females, a 11yr.old cat Budder and a gecko lizard Lettie :) Email: ezduzit65@yahoo.com

	Town: Chico, California Deaf dog: Casey is a 2 1/2 year old Dalmatian. Casey was a lost soul that showed up on our lawn 1 1/2 years ago. We tried to find her owner, but no one claimed her. We had no intention of owning a dog at the time, but what did we know? She quickly became the best thing in our life! We now live in a "Casey-centric" world! She's a bit goofy (OK, she's A LOT goofy) but that just makes life more interesting. This world would be a better place if everyone had a deaf dog like Casey! Human companions: Ken & Patti Clifford Email: kpcliff@msn.com

Melbourne and Sydney	Town: Redding, California Deaf dog: I rescued Melbourne (Deaf Albino Aussie) and his step-sister Sydney (hearing Aussie/Border Collie Mix) from Riverside Humane Society in Riverside, CA. He is white as a ghost all over, soft as a down pillow and has beautiful blue eyes.

Indy	Town: Paradise, California Deaf dog: Indy is a one year old Rottweiler mix. "Indy has been with me since she was 10 day's old. Found out she was deaf at 4 months. She has slept with me since she was just a baby. Indy has so much charactor and is so funny, fun, curious, loud, everything is a game to her even when she's looking for something to get into mischief with. She's a bit of a thief and loves to chew everything up, guess you could call her destructive, but she does keep me on my toes and I need that! She loves to get in the bathtub or shower with me so it's very easy to give her a bath. She also love's to be vacuumed. She Invents her own toys and they range from toilet brushes, toilet paper, tennis shoes, door knobs, any bottle she can chew that crunches loudly, well what can I say but she's very lucky to have me as her mother because most people would have gotton rid of her by now. She has to go with me everywhere because of her separation anxiety, and I need her with me because of my anxieties. So she is a bit of a therapy dog too. We are both disabled and we love each other. She loves kids but still plays too rough. I would like to get her approved eventually to visit sick children. She has so much spirit. I love her just the way she is even though she is such a brat, she definitely keeps me laughing!" Human companions: Bonnie Lynn Email: alphawolfspirit5@aol.com

Shiloh	Town: Redding, California Deaf dog: Shiloh is a one year old Catahoula. "Shiloh was born deaf and was about to be euthanized.

Other pets: 2 bearded dragons, 2 iguanas, 2 more dogs, 1 snake, 1 fish, 1 cat Email: LUVMYTRK@aol.com
