Town: Broomfield, Colorado Deaf dog: Sophie is a 2 year old Dalmatian. "I was looking for a dog, and saw Sophie on DDEAF in the Urgent section. Her owners were moving back to Australia, could not take her with them, and she only had a week until she was going to be relinquished to a shelter (and, as we all know, likely an untimely demise). I was living in Chicago at the time, Sophie was in San Diego, but it didn't matter, I was in love! I flew out to San Diego and drove back to Chicago with her the next weekend. Sophie is a joy. Totally dysfunctional but with the self-confidence of a super-model. She is only about 37 lbs, has one blue eye and one brown, and is stone deaf, but is full of life, love, and has the quirkiest and most generous personality of any dog I have ever owned. She struts around on walks, knowing that despite her supposed short-comings, the world can't help but love her. Sophie is my first deaf dog, and other than commanding her with my hands instead of my voice, it was surprising to me how much she is like any other dog. She barks at strangers, chases rabbits, digs HOLES in my yard...UGH. Still, I can't imagine her not around. She's the best. " Human companions: Tiffany Pereda, Daria, 6 and Vitaly, 4. Other pets: Two hearing cats. Email: goofyssweetie@aol.com |
 Teddy |
Town: Golden Colorado Deaf dog: Teddy is a 1-1/2 year old Australian Shepherd mix. "Teddy came to me from a family in Ohio who could no longer care for him.

Human companions: Kinsey Morgan Other pets: Four cats Email: kashmirtiger@peoplepc.com |
 Quantum |
Town: Littleton, Colorado Deaf dog: Quantum is a 6 year old Australian Shepherd mix. "Quantum or Q (easier to sign) has been a great addition to our home. We adopted him from the humane society in Denver a couple of years ago. We never had a deaf dog before so it was a real challenge for Q and myself. Q loves walks in the park and riding in the car. He is a very high energy dog, so I'm looking into agility training and other activities to keep him occupied." Human companions: Maria and Carl Giangreco Other pets: 2 birds, Woostock and Sundance, and fish. Email: mjg519@comcast.net |

Town: Englewood, Colorado Deaf dog: Allie is a 3 year old Boxer. "Allie is a wonderful addition to our family. I first fell in love with Allie when I was asked to ID a Boxer at the local shelter. I visited with her at the shelter and the moment I laid eyes on her my heart melted, not knowing at the time that she was bilaterally deaf. Once Allie was pulled from the shelter by the rescue group I volunteer for, she came to live with us for a "little" time as a foster. Once she was in the house and I saw how smart she was I could not let her go. Allie originally came to us in June of 2003 and we officially adopted her in September. I would love to share her story with the world so that people can realize that deaf should not be a death sentence. When you tell people you have a deaf dog they always feel bad for them, but I always tell them that she doesn't have any idea that she is different. In my heart she is very normal and actually "listens" much better than my hearing dogs." Human companions: Helene Bennett Other pets: Sampson, 7 year old Boxer and Sadie, 3 year old English Pointer Email: helenembennett@yahoo.com |

Town: Westminster, Colorado Deaf dog: Lucy is a 4 month old French Bulldog. "Lucy is a beautiful and curious dog. She came from Budapest." Human companions: Martha Weaver Other pets: Pebbles and Paris, Pugs. Email: mweaver@teampdc.com |
 Bully |
Town: Denver, Colorado Deaf dog: Bully is a 5 month old Boxer. "We had adopted our past 2 boxers as adults and after a heartbreaking passing of the female, we decided to get a puppy. We purchased him from a breeder who did not tell us that he was deaf. He is white so I guess we should have known. We thought of returning him until we heard of the life he might have with adoption, etc. I couldn't let him go. It was the best decision we ever made. Bully is amazing! He is the smartest dog that my husband or I have ever owned. He watches everything we do. He was potty trained within 2 weeks and knows all of the main commands. He is such a light in our lives. Something so innocent and loving. We bought a leash where we attach him to our male adult when we go to the park and there have been no problems. We never leave him off the leash but are looking forward to training with the vibrate collar when he is older so we can continue to enjoy our outdoor activites. If you have the patience then I recommend adopting a deaf dog. I swear he can hear us come home. He also seems to know EXACTLY when I wake up for a potty break in the middle of the night...he needs one too! He is such a gift. A big bully that can't hear my adult male give the warning signs that he is being annoyed so he presses on annoying him and a big bully with a heart that is just as big. Gifts like him and other deaf dogs can't be ignored." Human companions: Kathie & Shawn Johnson Other pets: Jake, and adult male Boxer. Email: kathie@ks1075.com |
