Deaf dog: Kiera is a 2 year old Border Collie. Kiera was a
pup that a friend of mine told me about that her friend had found
and was looking to place her in a home... Kiera was a merle to merle
breeding result pup as she has the "starburst" eyes. She
was given away to someone and later found by another person who knew
the person that gave her away to begin with, that is when I stepped
in and said that I would take her and give her a good safe home. She
has be an angel and I love having her. She is an awesome dog... one
of the best I've ever owned :)
Human companions: April
Other pets: between my Boyfriend and I we happily have 6 Dogs,

Scout
|
Town: Lubbock, Texas
Deaf dog: Scout is a 9 month old Australian Shepherd. Scout
is an amazing little pup. She is probably the happiest dog I have
ever known. She was born deaf and partly blind. The vet didn't think
she would be able to see at all because of the many physical abnormalities
in her eyes, but she gets around just fine. She even caught the
toy I threw to her the other day. She misses more than she catches,
but she does catch some. We bought her for fifty dollars out of
the back of a truck at a feed store, and we didn't realize 'till
a couple of days later that she was deaf. I've had a blind dog before
but never a deaf
one, so it was a new experience. I was worried if I would be able
to deal with a deaf dog, but I looked at deafdogs.org and decided
that we would be ok. The first couple of weeks were hard, because
I was having to get used to running after her
when she left the room or was getting in trouble. You can't just
yell "no". I found that a gentle grab on the scruff of
the neck accompanied with a sign for no worked very well. After
those first two weeks, working with her was no different than any
other puppy. She loves hiking when we go to the mountains and we
can even let her off the leash some, because she always keeps us
in sight. She is almost an adult now and she is the sweetest little
dog I know. She is never aggressive, rarely barks (except in play),
and loves every person and animal she's ever met. She is extremely
friendly and I hope to use her for therapy when she gets older.
Don't be afraid of deaf dogs, they can be wonderful pets.

Deaf dog: Capone is a 2 year old American Bulldog mix. We
got Capone from a breeder in Amarillo who either didn't know he
was deaf or just didn't tell us we found out when we got him home.
He is a wonderful dog and super with my 10 month old son. He is
getting really big and even though he is deaf he knows he is the
top dog.

Zeus
|
Town: Amarillo, Texas
Deaf dog: Zeus is a 1 year old Great Dane. Zeus is the best
thing that happened to us. Although we love all of our dogs and
enjoyed helping out Great Dane and Dalmatian rescues, Zeus really
stands out. He is so smart and capitalizes on his other keen senses.
He has a terrific, funny, loving personality! I would not change
a thing about him. When we adopt more Great Danes, we'll be looking
specifically for deaf ones. He's such a blessing!
Human companions: Michael, Carol, Annika & Quinlan Anderson
Other pets: 2 other rescued Great Danes and 1 Dalmatian
