New York Deaf Dogs |
<< Back to US map |
| Town: Kingston,
New York Deaf dog: Izzy is a 1 year old Boxer/Lab Mix. We adopted Izzy when she was a young puppy. She came from a girl who's dog "accidentally" had puppies, and Izzy was the last one left. All her siblings had the normal boxer markings. The girl told us she had other accidental litters with white puppies and none of them had been deaf, but I told her it didn't matter either way because I am a Special Education teacher and was ready to take Izzy as she was. We noticed at about 2 months that she didn't respond to shaking her food dish or bones, we tested it by banging a pot and pan together and she had no reaction. We trained her from the beginning with hand signals that are a mix of ASL and some homemade signs. Izzy is very aware of body language and responds to our "looks". The only hurdle we have yet to cross is being able to have her off the leash at our house. We don't live on a very busy road, but there are the few cars that speed past our house which is on a turn, so we are looking into a fence of some sort so that she can play freely. We take her off the leash at times, but we have to make sure there are enough of us "runners" outside to catch her if she goes too far or into the road. Although it hasn't been easy, Izzy has been worth every moment of it :) Human companions: Liz and Ernie Other pets: 3 Rescue Cats! Email: lizzyp5486_AT_yahoo.com |

 Earl | Town: Sodus,
New York Deaf dog: Earl is an 8 month old American Bulldog Mix. We adopted Earl 4 months ago from our local Humane Society the day after he arrived there. We chose him as a playmate for our 2 year-old Shar-Pei Mix, Clyde. After about two days, it became pretty obvious to us that Earl was deaf. We've adjusted by using hand signals with both dogs. Clyde and Earl are best friends, and we can't imagine life without them. Human companions: Deana & Damien Other pets: Clyde - 2 year-old Shar-Pei Mix Daisy - 13 year-old Bassett Hound Email: deanadeana@gmail.com |

Town: Port Washington, New York Sky is a 2 and 1/2 year old Border Collie. Sky is a Blue Merle Border Collie (possibly with some Australian shepherd in him as well). He is from Georgia where his breeder locked him and two of his deaf littermates in a back room for the first year of their lives (all because he was embarrassed that they were all born deaf!). As a result of this kind of neglect, Sky is undersocialized and fearful/aggressive, but he has improved his social skills somewhat. Sky is learning American Sign Language and how to be a normal dog.

Quinn is a 3 yr old Australian Shepherd.
He was in an Indiana shelter, where he was becoming more and more
fear aggressive. Finally, there were only two volunteers who could
even get near him. I was working with them via internet helping
them learn sign language to try to communicate with him, thinking
that if he could communicate with people, he would be less fearful
and aggressive. Alas, it didn't work. They were going to put him
down, but I asked that they send him to me. He actually is a foster
dog for CODA. I have been doing behavior modification with him,
and he is getting better little by little. He still has some problems
"outside", but is the sweetest, most obedient, most lovable
dog with my hubby and me. |

Town: Brentwood, New York Deaf dog: Chloe is a 4 year old Miniature Pinscher, She is a fun loving, fast moving bundle of energy thta loves to play with her four cat siblings. She also has a big golden retriever sister that she uses as her "hearing ear" dog. She watches Penny closely for cues on going outside and if any food is being given out. Chloe lived with my parents until my father's death last year. She was very shy becuse she was very confined with them. They were afraid to let her out because of her deafness. Since coming here she is an entirely different dog. She is overcoming her fear of strangers. Even though she is deaf she has NEVER snapped at anyone. Anyone thinking of adopting a deaf dog should not be afraid. They can be wonderful pets.

 Jessie |
Town: Gasport, New York Deaf dog: Jessie doesn't have any honors except having brought a lot of love and patience to this house. She watches everything and is very protective and loyal to her family. That is honor enough for us. Jessie has proved very adept at learning sign language and responds to a number of requests. Mister Lucky Man is unilaterally deaf. He was purchased as a hearing ear dog for Jessie. He was born 14 hours after his littermates and found out on the lawn in his sack and he survived but as he has gotten older we found that he is mildly retarded, probably due to lack of oxygen. Still his wonderful disposition makes up for his learning disabilities. Thanks for reading about them. Human Companions: Kimberley Coppola Email: jessiecoppola@aol.com |

Town: Potsdam, New York
Deaf dog: Babe a English Shepherd was dumped at the animal shelter with a litter of 6 puppies when she was 2(?). I began competing in UKC Obedience with her thinking she was a mixed breed until everyone told me she was an English Shepherd (& she looks just like the pictures). She has her CGC, U-CD & 2 legs toward her ASCA-CD. I have only realized in the last six months that she is almost completely deaf & her vision is a little fuzzy. We still do Obedience classes (she would be heartbroken if she was left out) & I want to start working with a laser pointer to replace the clicker she was trained with. I don't see any reason why she can't compete in Open since that's all facing me, but I don't see how she could do Utility.

Deaf dog 1: Miss Macy is a Jack Russell Terrier that is 1.5 years young. Miss Macy came to us as a foster-pup when she was 11 months old... this poor baby had been in 7 homes by that time. After yet 1 more adoption that didn't work out, we decided that we couldn't let her go through that trauma again and kept her. She has been a delightful addition to our family. She rivals Miss Maggie-Mae's babysitting skills and is often seen herding the Great Danes out in the back garden. Deaf dog 2: Miss Annie is a Great Dane that 6 months young. Miss Annie is the latest addition to our doggy family. She is the mirror image of Miss Olyvia... except that she is probably going to be bigger... heaven help us all! :) Miss Annie has the most amazing outlook on life and is loved by all that she meets...

 Byron |
Town: East Bethany, New
York Deaf dog: Byron was adopted as a stray from my county shelter. They, nor I, had any idea he was hearing impaired at that time. It was several months after he came to live with me that I realized that he was just more "indifferent" than all the other Chows I have had in the last 30 years! They are noted for their subborness and "selective hearing", so he hid his hearing loss well. It was not until I joined the Deaf Dogs Yahoo! Group and found this site that I was able to use the test to confirm my suspicions. Byron is a loving, sweet guy....not much of a watchdog tho! Watches everyone intently and is in tune to their hand movements. As a Chow, he is a very patient, intelligent dog by nature...calm & a real thinker. His lack of hearing is not in the least an obstacle in his - or my life. Human companions: Anne Other Pets: 2 ferrets, 8 Betta fish, 25 Campbell dwarf hamsters Email: HyJinxAnnie@whale-mail.com |
 Satchel |
Town: Averill Park, New
York Deaf dog: We adopted Satchel, a 3yo boxer who is bilaterally deaf, from Boxer Angels Rescue - we were a little leary of adopting a deaf dog but we haven't had any regrets. Satchel passed his basic obedience with flying colors and is going to be starting agility next week. He responds to standard obedience signals as well as several ASL signs - his favorite is "I Love You!" His favorite hobbies are counter surfing, tormenting Snorty, our old Boston terrier, into playing with him, and going for walks! Human companions: Katie & Mike Morrissey, Padraic & Maeve .

Mr. Charlie |
Town: Cicero, New York
Deaf dog: We bought Mr. Charlie a English Bulldog from a breeder in FL. He came to us at 9 weeks old. It took just 3 days to figure out our little baby is deaf. Our response...so what?! :) Mr. Charlie is the sweetest, most attentive pup I have ever known! He is learning VERY fast (knows signs for " sit", "down", "come" and "good boy!" in just 2 weeks)...he also knows the sign for "roll-over"..but his rolly-poly body only allows him to make it 1/2 way! heh ;) He is simply the best!

Town: Poughkeepsie, New
York Deaf dog: Rocky a 9 month old Aussie Blue Heeleis our new puppy. We found him at a local mall pet store when he was 2 and a half months old. We always vowed we would never buy from a puppy mill type place. In fact all of our animals in the past have found us. But we visited the store for my niece to just hold a kitten for fun. I saw this funny puppy that was so unlike the rest, just as adorable as could be but a bit on the odd looking side. He didn't look as though he belonged in there with all the other pretty puppies. I had never seen a cattle dog before but there was something very special about him. He just sat and stared out with his head on his paw. He even looked a little sick, clogged nose, tired eyes. I held him & couldn't leave without him, I immediately said I'll buy him. I've never paid for a dog in my life & neither has my husband so it was really weird how it happened. We did not know until a couple weeks later that something was not quite right. We sensed that he might be deaf. We had a BAER test done & found that he was in fact deaf. We are unsure as to whether his deafness occurred at birth or weeks later. We were refunded our money from the pet store because of his deafness. Now nearly seven months later he is so wonderful and fun and well behaved that it's difficult to tell that he's deaf. He's our boy and life would not be the same without him. We adore him. Recently I am starting to look into contacting other deaf dog owners to give us some insight on his behavior. He's very obedient and happy but at night he seems to be a bit freaked out. So I'm writing this in hopes that someone might have similar issues and possible solutions. Thanks.

 Jacob |
Town: Woodside, New York
Deaf dog: Jacob is a sweet deaf Dalmatian, who already knows about 14 or 15 hand signs. We adopted him from the Willing Hearts Dalmatian Rescue at 7 weeks and he's been a handful ever since! Every night we take him to the local dog park, to which about 15 or 20 dogs usually come, and he plays with his friends for an hour or two. He doesn't seem to know he's any different and we don't think his friends do, either! We also have two cats, whom he deals with well (despite the occassional chase). He's wonderfully socialized in every way, and we all think people who say deaf dogs are difficult are nuts!

Lady Blue |
Town: Schenectady, New
York Deaf dog: Lady Blue is a 2 1/2 yrs old Blue Merle Sheltie. Lady is almost totally blind and deaf. She does hear some very loud, sharp noises, but not our voices. She is also blind - her iris in both eyes is split (looks like 2 cat eyes in 1 marble). The split lets too much light to her brain and she doesn't see anything but shadow (and our feet). She has learned to recognize us by the smell of our feet & shoes. We stomp our feet to get her attention or call her in from the porch. She is 1 of 3 from a litter of 10 born this way. The other 2 died soon after birth. The owner was going to have her destroyed when I came along. Lady's parents are both blue merle shelties and the vet said there is a high chance of deaf / blind dogs from mating 2 b.m.s. But we love her - have since we first laid eyes on her and still do. She is paper trained - so she plays outside w/her side kick, Benji - our dashound and then comes in the house to pee & poop. Human companions: 2 humans Other Pets: Benji, our dashound and about 100 birds (we are bird breeders). Email: p326lc@nycap.rr.com |
Upsalamba |
Town: Brooklyn, New York I did not know that Up was deaf when we picked her up. She started screaming in the car on the way home. The screams were so strange that I began to suspect that something was wrong with her. As soon as she arrived home, I observed that she did not respond to sound. I tried a few tests and realized that she was deaf, however, I had to prove it. This Tuesday, she had the BAER hearing test and was diagnosed as deaf in both ears. She is a princess. Beautiful - white with gold spots. She's very gentlle and playful and an ace at agility in her puppy classes. She was very nervous and lonely the first few months away from her dog family, but she is calming down and enjoying her life in her new home. She especially enjoys chasing the cats. I find communicating with a deaf dog very interesting and challenging. If anyone who reads this has a deaf TT, I would
love to hear from him or her. |
 Cali |
Town: Painted Post, New
York Deaf dog: Cali is an Australian Shepherd that is 1 year old. Cali was dumped at a shelter in upstate NY because her owners were tired of her being deaf. She is one of the most lovable and enjoyable dogs I have ever owned. She is wonderful with people and other dogs. She is also listed on the lethal white website. I had always wanted an Aussie and my friend that works at the shelter called me and asked me if I wanted to foster her. Well... the foster thing lasted about 1 minute after I met her. Since then I have learned a whole new appreciation for the hearing impaired. Human companions: Jodi Other pets: 2 other Aussies, 3 lab mixes and 3 JRT's Email: SmithJL8@corning.com |
Dooley |
