Deaf dogs: Buster O'Malley is a 2 year old English Bulldog.
After losing my deaf Dalmatian Mango, in October 2004 at the age
of 14.5 years, I rescued a handsome, very large Yellow Lab named
Zeus. The following October I saw a give-away ad for a deaf Bulldog.
Knowing the joys of owning a deaf dog I adopted Buster when he was
7 weeks old. If you know anything about Bulldogs, you know what
lovers they are. One look at that face is all it takes!!! He and
Zeus are the best of friends. He also shares our home with twelve
birds and my daughter's two Black Labs that visit every day. I've
found that deaf dogs tend to have a much deeper bond with their
people. I was anxious to adopt another deaf pup and would certainly
do it again in a heartbeat!
Human companions: MaryLou, Jim and Caryn Bohenek
Other pets: Yellow Lab, Zeus Black Labs, Meeko & Max
and 12 parrots

the love of my life. He is very shy and trembles if he feels at all

Deaf dog: Mango is a 12 year old Dalmatian. "I have had
Mango since she was 4 months old. I adopted her BECAUSE she was deaf,
only to find out afterwards, how common deafness is in the breed.
I adopted her from a lady that was breeding Dalmatians. She was housebroken
within a couple of days and within 2 weeks, she learned to sit, shake
hands, lay down and come, using basic hand signals. Mango is very
smart and sweet. She loves people but not other four-legged pets.
I also share my home with twelve birds and she doesn't mind them at
all. With love, understanding and patience, a deaf dog can be a very
close companion and friend. I do not regret adopting her-only that
our time together can't span a lifetime. What else can I say - she's
the best!"
Human companions: Marylou and Bo Henek and their adult daughter.
Other pets: 2 blue-fronted Amazons; 1 African Grey Congo; 1
Alexandrine Parakeet; 2 Green-cheeked Conures; 1 blue & gold Macaw;
5 finches; and 2 black Labs who visit almost every day.

Wickett W. Warwick |
Town: Edgar, Montana
Deaf dog: Wickett W. Warwick is an 18 month old Australian
Shepherd/McNabb mix. "The veterinarian I use in Wyoming called
me because he knew I had adopted 2 born blind dogs and asked if I
would be interested in a deaf dog.I had had a hearing impaired Great
Dane for 8 years who recently passed. I went to look at her and took
her home. We taught her sign language and use a flashlight to get
her attention. She goes into a fenced yard and is never loose. She
is obedience trained and leash trained. She worships my 10 year old
daughter. I am blessed with being able to be home and she is my shadow.
We also have 2 red heelers who are her buddies. If she is outside
and I need her to come in I flash the porch light. Day or night she
will watch for this signal. Wickett is incredibly sweet. She sits
next to me touching me in some way with her paw so she will know when
I get up. She is exceptional with all the other pets and loves puppies.
She watches the other dogs so she can tell when the school bus is
coming. She will stand to look out the windows to watch the children.
We are pleased to have her be a part of our family."
Human companions: Cynthia Gwirtz-Satterfield, her husband Ed,
and daughters Rachel, Emorie, Johannah and Edan.
