Austin, TX: American BullDog Mix to Die. Hurry!

This was on the news. Not sure if Kenni's last day was today or it is tomorrow. I just emailed the person to follow up with an update. To play it safe, I am sharing it to get words out just in case.
Hope we are not too late! Check the article with a video of Kenni. If you can help, don't wait to contact Beth Kosar at savekenni@gmail.com.

Ocala, FL: Rescuer Died - Need Help with Placement!

If you can please pass on this e-mail to anyone you think may be looking to adopt a dog in need, please do so along with my e-mail address christinajoy74@yahoo.com and cell (305) 479-6861. Any dog adopted can be on a trial basis and if it doesn't work out, I want the dogs returned to me so I can re-place them. I don't want any dog ending up in a shelter. There's no commitment and no hard feelings if it doesn't work out. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I will also gladly pay for any medical bills of the dogs and arrange for transport to the new owners home.

Sammie is the one who is deaf and blind while all others are hearing and sighted.

Sammie
- he's a 4 year old white and black dachshund with SPECIAL NEEDS. He's a puppy mill rescue that is both deaf and blind. It may take a while for him to learn to trust you and actually does well with other dogs that he can follow around. He has a great sense of smell and will learn the layout of your home and get around just fine. Loves his food and treats. He's also on medication. Would take a special dog lover to raise this special dog.

Sammie

Ollie- approximately 8-9 year old long haired Dachshund. Also in good health with a gentle temperament. He's really a love, super affectionate and still playful. Loves to snuggle and lay near you. Brown and black color combo and around 10 pounds.

Ollie

Fiver- approximately 4 year old Dachshund mix. He's a character and has a mischievous inquisitive nature. He's also loving and gentle and as cute as can be. He would be great to a home with kids that want to play. He weighs around 10 pounds.

Fiver

Toby- 12-14 year old Whippet. Beautiful graceful and very gentle dog. he's a stunning cream and tan. He does suffer from Arthritis and has been limping but with medication, can live a comfortable pain-free remaining few years. I consider him special needs and anyone adopting him needs to realize he may only be around a few more years and should want to give him a comfortable happy remaining life.

Toby (ADOPTED)

Mookie- 6 year old mixed breed (looks to be part Chinese crested). He's been abused and is a bit skittish at first but once he bonds with his owner, he's loyal and loving and dedicated. He's adorable and almost a peach and white color with long legs and a skinny body. Weighs around 8-10 pounds.

Mookie

Ivy- 12 year old mixed breed, although she still has as much energy as a puppy and is in perfect health! She's black and white with long legs, a small head and skinny body and wiry hair type with a tightly curled tail. She loves to run and explore the yard but also loves cuddling. She's weighs around 10-12 pounds maximum.

Ivy

Karma- 10 year old mixed breed who may be special needs. She has some sort of health condition that has caused her to gain an excessive amount of weight so she breathes heavy. She's currently not on any medication. Anyone interested in her would need to realize she may have more health conditions but I would pay for any medical bills incurred for the remainder of her life. She may weigh around 25 pounds. She’s very gentle and loving, gets along with other animals and children but wants a lot of attention.

May DeafDoggies Lead with Your Vote!

Lottie Dot and Dora

Lottie Dot was rescued off the highway. No one wanted her when they found out she was deaf. Now she visits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, grief camps etc. She has a chapter in a book that is being promoted on the Pet Finder blog. If you look closely, you can see her picture at the bottom of the heart. Go here. Dora just got registered to become a therapy dog. She visits special needs kids in schools as a Reading Education Assistance Dog. They do Dog Safety and Fire Safety Programs and Relay for Life. The possibilities are endless. Why? Because I gave them a chance at life. They have quite a story to tell!

There is the link to vote for Lottie Dot and Dora to travel to Atlanta to share their special story. They are in second place and have over 12,800 votes! The one leading now is an AKC dog -- AKC is an organization that discriminates against deaf dogs.

Let’s put Lottie Dot and Dora in first place and get their story out there. They set a great example of what deaf dogs can accomplish. Please click on the link below, then vote “10.” We only have 2 days left to vote. You can vote hourly if able.

Johnston City, TN: Aussie/Husky Mix Pups

Bones and Beck

Beck

Bones

9 week old Aussie/Husky mix pups. Completely deaf and visually deficient. They can see well enough to get along if the lights are on. They have mastered the environment in their foster home with no problem. They do well with other dogs and love to play just like any other puppy. They would need specialized training and guidance -- either a deaf/vi rescue or a qualified home. They would do well as a companion to another tolerant dog or pup. If interested in these babies, contact mjwebbcity@aol.com
