Tessa

 

Town: New Philadelphia, Ohio
Deaf dog: Tessa is a 2 year old Great Dane. She has been wonderful, Tessa understand body language very well, I have so far taught her sit, stay (needs work), lay down, down, shake with both paws, but need to work on attention extremely bad before we proceed any farther. I am currently looking for a trainer in my area to help me get her trained for basic obedience, I hope to get her the AKC Canine Good Citizen ship. My wife is a nurse, and figured she would make a good therapy dog. I also wanted to train her in as much as possible. For being deaf, she has the best temperment I have ever seen.
Human companions: Tim, my Wife, 3 Kids, and my wife's Father
Other pets: Sadie - Cat, Harley- Cat, Smokey - Ferret ( also deaf, and does not bite! ) and Spaz - Ferret

Town: Bellaire, Ohio
Deaf dog: Snow is a 15 month old Collie. Snow is a double dilute. When two blue merles breed it can cause problems. Deaf and blind are two of the most common. I found her on puppyfind and had her shipped in from Oklahoma. Se is the sweetest thing. We have 12 house dogs and you would never know she is deaf and partially blind. I was amazed how easy it is to work with her. Anyone who has time and loves animals should consider a special needs pet.
Human companions: Anna and Frank
Other pets: 11 dogs, 3 cats and a guinea pig

Aries

 

Town: Mansfield, Ohio
Deaf dog: Aries is a 3 year old German Shepherd. He was three days away from being euthanized at my local shelter when I adopted him. I found Aries online at petfinder.com He was taken from his home during a major intervention because the previous owner had 21 dogs. His previous living conditions were horrible. When I first got him he wasn't even house trained. The day I went to the shelter to visit Aries lots of families were passing him by as soon as they found out his was deaf. Aries is a very loving and affectionate companion, and I'm sure that he will always be thankful that I rescued him.
Human companions: Renee and her boyfriend
Other pets: We own another purebred German Shepherd and a cat

She is truly a smart dog, and has the heart of an angel. She sleeps next to her mom like a teddy bear every night, and sometimes goes to work with her..

Town: Zanesville, Ohio
Deaf dog: Henry is a Lab/Hound mix who is almost 2 years old. His family says "When I picked Henry out at the shelter I got him from, he was just sitting (very still) in his kennel looking at all the people and puppies. He looked so mellow and thoughtful so I grabbed him immediately and I'm very glad I did. I didn't realize he was deaf until he was 6 months old (I was beginning to wonder why he didn't answer to his name!). Henry's still a bit unsocialized and scared of strangers but we are working very hard to overcome that. But I love him so much. He is so cute he makes you want to cry. He's such a great cuddler; loves hugs and kisses. And he is still very mellow and thoughtful.

Camera Shy
Town: Youngstown, Ohio
Deaf dog: Zoey is a 7 month old Jack Russell Terrier. "Zoey is a very adorable, sweet and stubborn 7 month old broken coat Jack Russell Terrier. We bought her at a kennel in a nearby town. We did not know she was deaf until 2 months after we got her. She sleeps in our bed and loves to tunnel under the covers. Trouble is she wakes up through out the night barking at nothing. She is like a child in her terrible twos. Always looking to see what she can get in trouble with. When she finds something she knows she shouldn't have she darts under my bed with the item never to be seen again. She has been quite a challenge for us so far but she has definitely won the hearts of everyone in our family. Previously owning a JRT we knew that she would be a challenge but we never expected the added challenge of her being deaf."

Pig
Pig
Town: Coolville, Ohio
Deaf dog: Pig is a 2 year old Great Dane. "This is Just Lil' Piggly Wiggly. He is my baby! His only concern in life is how much closer can he get to the humans in his life. He shares his home with his momma and sister dane (they can both hear) as well as a basset, a cocker spaniel, and a weenie dog. Pig has learned some hand signals and is very smart. He loves to go camping with us as well as going for car rides and walks. The house would seem empty without him. One of his latest pranks is to go get dirty socks off the floor and put them in the laundry basket. He's such a smart boy!"
