Carter
| Town: Grove City, Ohio
Deaf dog: Carter is a 3 year old English Setter. I adopted
Carter from ACES (Another Chance for English Setters). Carter and
his sister were turned into ACES as young pups when their breeder
discovered they were deaf. I fell madly in love with the little terror
when I saw his picture on the ACES website (www.englishsetterrescue.org)
and he's changed my life. He's spirited, stubborn, loving, gentle,
and in between shouts of exasperation (that he can't hear) he makes
me laugh hysterically. He adores vanilla ice cream, Robins, madly
scampering Squirrels, and snoring on my shoulder. Carter has an incredible
personality and I treasure every day that I get to spend with him!

Matthew |
Town: Delaware, Ohio
Deaf dog: Matthew is a 7 1/2 month old German Shorthaired Pointer.
His family says "Matthew is a rescue puppy who I adopted from German
Shorthaired Pointer Rescue of WI. I have adopted from them in the
past so they were aware of what type of environment he would be living
in. I have a very active and very loving home. I have 4 hearing dogs
besides Matthew.
He doesn't think of himself as being deaf. He runs and romps around
the backyard with the others and has a wonderful time. Why tell him
that he's different?
I am in the process of teaching him basic obedience commands and am
going to enter an obedience class where the instructor has experience
with deaf dogs. I teach and participate in agility classes and hope
to someday get him involved in that. He loves doing different activities
and he is not afraid to try new things.
He has quickly won our hearts and become a very solid member of our
family. He is dearly loved by my daughter, me, and the other dogs.
We think of Matthew as a gift."

Town: Sunbury, Ohio
Deaf dog: Freckles is a 4 year old Australian Cattle Dog. "Freckles
is absolutely fantastic! Her mother had a bladder infection while
she was pregnant and, even though we treated the infection, the bacteria
passed through the placenta into some of the pups. All were born able
to hear but 3 eventually lost most of their hearing from the infection.
Freckles can hear very high pitched noises (she certainly knows the
ice cream truck bells!) and very low noises (I drive a diesel truck
and she knows immediately when I start up our very long lane). Deafness
has nothing to do with intelligence!! She is quick to learn, loves
to travel, is super about "checking in" when off her leash, and loves
everyone that she meets. She has to be one of the happiest dogs I
have ever known. I cannot imagine my life without her!!"
Human companions: Janet Hurr, her husband, daughter and son-in-law,
a step-grandson, and another grandson on the way!
Other pets: 3 hearing Cattle Dogs, 4 cats, and 8 horses.
