Missouri Deaf dog: Keila is an 8 week old Boxer/Lab mix. Keila's mother is a white Boxer who is not deaf. Her father is a white Lab, also not deaf.

I would appreciate any pointers or advice that anyone would be kind enough to offer Human companions: Kathy, Hubby Rick, Son Rob, Daughter Briana Other pets: Skye, a 5yo pound Puppy.

Town: St. Louis, Missouri Butter is a one year old Boxer. "In
October, 2004, we found our new deafie, Butter at Boxer Rescue in
St Louis. She had been kept outside most of the time and had no
training or socialization before she was rescued. She was born in
May, 2004 and has certainly filled a gap in our lives. She is very
smart and eager to learn. She already knows 7 or 8 signs very well.
She is even learning that kitties are NOT meant to be chased and
pinned to the floor ;-) She is quite the loon and although trying
at times, we wouldn't trade her for the world! " |

Town: Osborn, Missouri Deaf dog: Stella, a Great Dane puppy. Her mom writes "Stella was born 2/18/00 and is still doing wonderfully. Stella came from a puppy mill situation that seems to produce a fair amount of deaf dogs, through irresponsible breeding. This poor dog could have wound up in the wrong hands and been bred, if not abused and neglected. Stella is a joy to be around and she is very intelligent. She learned some basic sign language very quickly and I think is one of our smartest dogs! She loves to go on long walks or play with her many brothers and sisters in the yard, but she also loves a good nap on the couch! Stella is the youngest of our "herd" at just over age 2." Human companions: Michelle C Petersen and her husband Les Other pets: 6 retired Greyhounds (some are mixes); three other rescued Great Danes (one is nearly blind); a Siberian Husky; and a Retriever/Chow mix.

Town: Bridgeton, Missouri Deaf dog: Ghost is a 10 month old Australian Shepherd. "Ghost was born deaf. Let's just say it was love at first sight. He was a little scared & full of mats, but once I started scratching his belly, he fell in love too. When we picked him up, he had never been on a leash, but he took to it right away. He did great in the car (but shed all over). Once we put him in the backyard and let the other kids out to meet him, he let them know I may be deaf but be nice to me. Our only real problem is that he really wants to herd my Golden Retriever, Marshall. He was doing it to my 12 lb blue merle Sheltie for a day, but she finally was like, wait a minute, I am the herder around here. So she put him in his place, now she will herd him if he tries to herd Marshall. So I think it will all work out just fine, he is already learning signs. He loves my fiance and my 13 year old daughter. He is mostly white with black patches on his back and has one blue eye one brown eye. SO CUTE." Human companions: Sandy Stacy, Steve and Nikki Other pets: Daytona, 2 yr. old female Australian Shepherd; and Marshall, 4 mo. old Golden Retriever. Email: iodine44@hotmail.com |
 Mojo |
Town: Pleasant Hill, Missouri Deaf dog: Mojo is an 8 month old Jack Russell Terrier. "I bought Mo from a breeder who wanted to put him down. I didn't know then that he would save my life too. In Dec. of last year our three Jack Russells were used as target practice by a trespassing hunter. We found them and several other dogs along a creek behind his house. We contacted the sheriff, game warden, the humane society. They closed the case over the phone in less than an hour. I was told they had more important cases. I spent the next 2 months in a deep depression. Then God sent me Mo. He reminded me of all the good things about my babies. I see so much of them everyday through Mo. It took me a few days to realize he was deaf but by then he had given me so much. One week later I bought Foxy. It's amazing how close they are. He follows her lead. She deserves most of the credit for training him. He is such a loving dog. I truly believe he was heaven sent." Human companions: Bruce and Jamie Clark Other pets: Foxy, 8 mo JRT; Beulah, 2 yr rescue JRT; and our newest Frankie 4 yr rescue Beagle. Email: jymlea@kcweb.net |

 Joey |
Town: Springfield, Missouri Deaf dog: Joey is a 6 month old Boxer. "Joey (aka:Joe Boxer) is 6 months old now. He was a birthday gift to my son, Eric when Joey was 6 weeks old. We realized he was deaf the first day he was with us. We could have traded him for a different dog from the breeder, but he was just too adorable. When he turned 2 months old, we were advised by the Vet if we got another dog, Joey would be easier trained. We went to the Humane Society and adopted a 6 week old Black Lab. His name is Max. He has helped Joey soooo much. He made house training much easier, among other things. Everything we teach Max, Joey learns at the same time. It just amazes me. They are both a couple of goofs. They play all of the time. We built them a a very large dog house because they would not sleep in their separate dog houses. They tried to pile in the same one. We even built the new dog house with a radiant heat floor in it. They sleep very close together in the house also. Joey is also an attention-getter. He gets in these moods where he wants to run as fast as he can, and if you act like you are going to try to catch him, he just tucks his butt and runs faster. He will stop really fast and then tuck his butt and take off again. He is hilarious! While all of this is going on, Max is lying like a rug. He is our calm one. He just looks at Joey like he is weird." Human companions: Tracy, Renee', Eric, Summer, & Tanner Other pets: Max, Black Lab Email: tracyreneej@mchsi.com |
