Harley Davidson
| Town: Amherst, Nova Scotia
Deaf dog: Harley Davidson is a 6 year old Silky Terrier. We
were approached to adopt Harley by a friend. He came to live with
us at 14 months of age with numerous issues. We already had another
silky girl so we thought he would take cues from her, which he learned
to do. His original owner had cancer and passed away and he was her
"therapy dog" throughout her illness. He is very much a
lap dog and once he adusted to life with us became very affectionate
and loving. It did take him many months to warm up to us completely
, but eventually it happened !! He is a very sweet little guy and
is very happy just to be with his family and we are very happy to
have him !!!
Human companions: Pat
Other pets: Hanna Jane- 7 year old Silky girl

Fluffy
|
Town: Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia
Deaf dog: Fluffy is an 8 month old American Puitbull. We
got Fluffy from the SPCA. He was hard to adopt because he of his
deafness. He was unmanageable when we got him but he is very intelligent
and learned quickly how to cope with his deafness. We taught him
to have a gentle mouth and took him to obedience classes to train
him. He is very alert and, even though he is deaf, not much escapes
his attention. He maintains constant eye contact and takes his cues
from us. Fluffy lives with 3 cats and they co-habitate well. All
in all, Fluffy is a super dog and we love him very much.
Human companions: Sandra and Mike Ryan
Other pets: Buster, Flash & Buttons - all cats
