| Town: Middletown, Pennsylvania
Deaf dog: Boo Marlie is an 8 month old Australian Shepherd.
I foster for an organization called Furry Friends Network in PA (www.furryfriendsnetwork.com)
I was looking for a new foster dog and wanted to do special needs
when a volunteer showed me her picture. She emailed me Boo Marlie's
picture and that was all it took and we brought her to PA. When I
saw how good of friends her and my one dog Reba became I decided she
found her permanent home.

Lily-Mae
|
Town: York, Pennsylvania
Deaf dog: Lily-Mae is a 1 and 1/2 year old Boston-Terrier
Mix. My husband bought me Lily-Mae for my 21st B-day. She really
has touched my heart as well as others she comes in contact with.
She is the only deaf dog in our area that we know about. I got worried
when she didn't respond to noise. I would vacuum the floor and she
would sleep right through it. So at our next vet check-up I said
something to the vet. Lily-Mae is the only deaf dog they have now.
They didn't know anything about deaf dogs so they looked on the
internet and found St. Francis hospital in Columbia, PA. We made
the appt. and took her to get the BAER Test. The results were bilaterally
deaf. She was the only one in her litter to be deaf. We have taught
her signs but still continue to work with her. The only command
she has issues with is "Come". If we could do it all over
we wouldn't change our mind on keeping her. She has blessed our
family more than anyone could imagine.
Human companions: Nikki and Matthew Tyson
Other pets: Cheyenne (Black Lab)-4 years old our first dog.
Cheyenne is such a great help with Lily-Mae. She has Helped in her
training.

She doesn't respond to any sounds but she does respond well to hand
signals. I just thought she was stubborn at first. She is beautiful,
loves all pets and people.

Georgia
|
Town: Quarryville,Pennsylvania
Deaf dogs: Georgia is a 2 year old Tibetan Terrier. She is
a little treasure. She comes from a friend who raises Tibetans and
wanted Georgia to have a home where her deafness would be understood
and she would be happy. She came to us on Thanksgiving morning and
we are very thankful for her. She is so full of love and knows many
signs. No one would ever know that she is deaf. I would recommend
a deaf dog to anyone that is considering one. They have so much
love to give and outside of the fact that you can never leave them
off lead, they are just like a normal dog.
Human companions: Ielena Bussard and husband
Other pets: A Tibetan named Megan (who will go find Georgia
when asked, and nudge her till she comes!) and two Keeshonden named
Lance and Falcore (who became deaf in his old age - Falcore went
to the Bridge in May of 2001, and is very deeply missed).
