Georgia Deaf Dogs |
<< Back to US map |
 Sydney | Town: Norcross,
Georgia Deaf dog: Sydney, a 10 month old Australian Cattle Dog, says: "My family found me at a local SPCA when I was 4 months old. They didn't know I was deaf, however, I was so sweet, I sold them on me. I don't think they have seen any difference in me, because I have no idea I can't hear. Since then I have graduated from puppy training class and I am currently enrolled in basic obedience class. I love to play ball anytime, anywhere. When I wake up I grab a ball and put it at my dad's feet. I could do this all day. I plan on continuing to learn and prove that I can't be limited by my deafness."

And at 6 months of age he tested for his Canine Good Citizen test, and passed with flying colors. We are going to continue with more obedience, agility, and try him as a therapy dog."

 Smoochie |

He was rescued by her from a kill shelter. He is probably the most spoiled cattle dog around and is the ultimate lap dog at 52 lbs. His name was Nemo, but we changed it to Smoochie because he loves to give everybody hugs and kisses so much. He loves to keep an eye on our chickens and going for a ride is his most favorite thing. He also enjoys chasing his three friends and sleeping on the sofa...or anywhere!" Human companions: Caryn and Tavish Other pets: Pedro, Roscoe (both mix breed strays), Muttley (rescued pitbull) and cats: Beavis, Clover, Sox, KitKat, Squash, Gizmo, Munchkin, Hoss, Blackie, Stump, Friday, Pita, Snaggle (all rescued strays!) ..all rescued strays Email: caryn@blueacresfarm.com |
 George |
Town: Pooler, Georgia Deaf dog: George was born deaf and given to me by a back yard breeder. I took her because they were unable to find a suitable home and were contemplating euthanasia. She has been with me since she was 12 weeks old and I trained her the same as all of my other dogs, except with signals and body language instead of verbal commands. She has made a wonderful family pet and gets along great with the other dogs in the house, a chihuahua, poodle, shar pei mix and another mix. I was very sceptical about taking in a deaf dog as there are alot of myths floating around about them. But I quickly learned that they are pretty much like any other dog and just need to be kept confined when off leash (George is never off leash unless inside of a fence). George is the family's heart and we all love her dearly. I would take another deaf dog in a minute and encourage others to do the same. Deaf dogs require a little extra effort to raise and train to be model canine citizens. But the rewards are well worth the extra effort. Human companions: Shelley and family Other pets: Chihuaha, poodle, Shar-Pei mix, and another mixed breed puppy. Email: FlashbackPat@aol.com |

Human companions: Malcolm and his partner, Keith Other pets: About 50 different chickens of various breeds Email: mhodges@tnc.org |

Town: Augusta, Georgia Deaf dog: Andre is an Aussie Cattle Dog. His human pal writes: "We adopted Andre from Animal Friends Rescue Project in California where I was volunteering. We were trying to help him find a home, but he wanted to move across country with us! He is smart and starting to learn his hand signals, but his parents can still use some training! His unique coloring and sweet disposition always get us a lot of attention when we take him out." Human companions: Alicia and Michael Other pets: Andre is getting a dalmation mix sister from the local SPCA soon...she looks like his twin! Email: microbiomajor@aol.com |
