Manhattan, NY: Pit Bull MIx in Shelter

LADY – A889135 – 7 month old female pittie mix – 47lbs – OS, 2/18

Contact Info:

New Hope Liaison, Manhattan Shelter

Animal Care and Control of NYC

C: 917-578-6372

Lady was living in a home with a child. Her and the child were playing together, but then she scratched him and the family brought her to the shelter. She is now off hold and ready for her new life! 


A volunteer wrote: Lady is a 7 month old pittie mix who arrived at the shelter on 2/18. Lady was brought to the shelter by her owner, who said she no longer wanted Lady because she had scratched the child in the home. Lady has a beautiful white coat with big brown eyes and a big black nose, she is beyond adorable and reminds me so much of the Coca-Cola polar bears! Lady is quite the social butterfly at the shelter and seems interested in making friends with every person or creature she meets, and this includes her own reflection in glass doorways! Lady seems to have grasped the concept of housebreaking already, as she goes to the bathroom immediately when taken outside, and also can sit down when prompted, but she will still need some basic training like any other puppy. For the past few days I have been at the shelter I have noticed Lady sleeping soundly in her kennel during periods of incredibly loud barking and noise, I finally took her out for a walk today and have confirmed my suspicions that she is in fact deaf. Because of this, Lady will require her puppy training a different and obviously non-verbal form, and will need a forever family willing help her with this. Since Lady is very visually oriented, curious, and loves her treats I'm sure she will pick up hand signals quite quickly. It has in fact been proven that all dogs respond better and learn their commands faster though hand signals rather than verbal commands alone. Having fostered deaf dogs previously, I can tell you that my own hearing dog learned all of hand signal commands just through watching me interact with her deaf foster siblings, and I still sometimes find myself signing to her rather than speaking, as it becomes a habit quite quickly! I would urge anyone looking for a dog to please consider this gorgeous girl despite her "disability," as you would be hard pressed to find another so wiggly and delicious. I really hope there is someone out there who will see Lady not as "special needs" but rather as just "special," because that is exactly what she is! Lady is waiting for you at the Manhattan Shelter!

A Vounteer Writes: Benny is a 6 yo Labrador Retriever who recently arrived to the shelter. He is a stray. 

He is one of the sweetest dog ever and so well behaved with people and dogs alike. Even with cats who 

where sitting in cages at his level. Benny is great on the leash, calm, very much housetrained and civil 

with all dogs met on the street. He can sit on command, loves caresses and just to stay laying down at his 

caretaker's feet. Benny is not a skinny dog but I doubt that he enjoyed great care in his former home. 

Benny is a friendly and affectioanet dog. He deserves better treatment this time around:a master, a family 

who will give him love, healthy nutrition , good care , long walks and a soft bed. Benny is at the 

Manhattan shelter. He is waiting for his new family.

Sea Cliff, NY: Pit Bull Time is Up

Hello everyone,

This is Whitey. She's a white pitbull located at Glen Animal Hospital in Sea Cliff, NY and is in DESPERATE need for a caring and loving home. Whitey is as sweet as can be and is special in one unique way; she's deaf. She's been deaf her entire 2 years of life and just wants someone to love her. Unfortunately, Whitey has been in this shelter for a year and a half and hasn't found a home yet since she's deaf. The other urgent and unfortunate part is that if she doesn't find a home by next week, they're going to put her to sleep. I'm asking you all to PLEASE help Whitey find a good home before this amazing dog gets put down. I strongly believe that every dog, whether good or bad deserves a chance at life and deserves to be loved and cared for no matter what.

If you are not interested in Whitey, please be kind enough to pass this email around to everyone that you know so that someone can adopt her. This is very time sensitive, so don't wait until the last minute, every minute of life is crucial to this dog this week and I'm not going to have this dog put down because no one wants her.

If you are interested, please contact the Glen Animal Hospital at 516-671-2800. They are located at 209 Glen Cove Avenue, Sea Cliff, NY 11579.

Even if you or someone you know could foster him until she finds his permanent home, that would be great.

Name: Whitey
Age: 2 years old
Sex: Female
Color: white with some brown spots.
Shots: I believe she should be up to date with all his shots.
Training: Since she is deaf, you need to use hand gestures, almost like sign language to her. The shelter will be able to give you all the info you need.

Thank you all SO much for taking the time out to read this. I'm sure Whitey appreciates it too :)

Sincerely,
Christine Capobianco

Islip, NY: Pit Bull Needs a Home or Sanctuary

Contact Deb at dabandolo@aol.com

I have a rescue dog named Frankie who has been in boarding on Long Island, New York for just about a year. He is approximately 2 years old, sweet, loving, and quite a handsome boy. He has been through training to learn hand signals, leash and obedience training. He is microchipped, up todate on shots...
He is very loved where he is but he has been there too long and we no longer have the funds to keep him there safe and cared for. Placement for Francis has proved to be difficult and we are in real need of finding him a home in a loving sanctuary where his needs can be met and he can thrive as he is. My rescue organization pulls all breeds from the city kill shelters frequently and Francis, renamed by his trainers was on the euth list so we saved him from the CACC'S high kill shelter, another disposable pit bull. If you have the space for Francis, we are really in need of getting him to his forever home as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Frankie's Story:

MEET FRANK HE WAS RESCUED FROM THE CACC LAST YEAR AND WHEN WE GOT HIM HE WAS SO DESTRUCTIVE HE WOULD JUST RIP EVERYTHING APART. WE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE HE WAS GETTING THIS ANXIETY FROM..WE WOULD TRY TO CORRECT HIM AND IT WAS LIKING HE WAS IGNORING WELL IT TURNS OUT HE WASN'T IGNORING WE WERE IGNORING HIM HE WAS DEAF AND WE DIDN'T KNOW...WE CONTACTED THE SHELTER AND GOT SOME MORE DETAILED INFO THAT THEY HAD NOT TOLD US PREVIOUSLY..FRANKIE WAS BEATEN UP SOME A BUNCH OF KIDS WITH STCIKS..HE CAN'T SEE OUT OF ONE OF HIS EYES..AND CONFIRMED BY OUR VET HE IS DEAF...CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING AT ALL....SO WHAT NOW...WE SENT HIM FOR SIGN LANGUAGE AND BOOT CAMP TRAINING WHICH HE IS STILL CURRENTLY AT ELITE TRAINING AND BOARDING FACILITY IN ISLIP LONG ISLAND..WE ARE PAYING $45.00 A DAY FOR HIM TO STAY THERE BECAUSE WE DON'T THINK HE WILL DO WELL IN OUR SHELTER WHERE HE CAN'T CONTINUE HIS SIGN LANGUAGE TRAINING ON A REGULAR BASIS.

WE ARE AWAITING FOR A SANCTUARY WHERE HE WILL LIVE THE REST OF HIS LIFE ON A FARM..

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP US WITH HIM.....TO HELP US HELP FRANKIE AND KEEP HIM SAFE AND HAPPY FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE... WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN EUTHANASIA UNLESS AN ANIMAL IS SUFFERING AND THERE IS NOTHING MEDICALLY MORE WE CAN DO TO SAVE THEM... OPEN YOUR HEART TO FRANKIE...HE DESERVES IT!!!

Buffalo, NY: Blind and Possibly Deaf Husky Needs Help

Old Boy was picked up on the road by a caring animal control officer. With his injury, he was taken to the vet. The vet feels Old Boy he is around 10 years old. He is blind, and may possibly be deaf. No one is sure if his blindness was caused by his injury, or if it was the other way around. He has touched our hearts, and our hope is that a kind soul or a rescue will step up for him and will give him the love and attention he deserves.

Old Boy is oblivious to dogs that are around him. He was found with that gash on his head which they say is old and they left it open. He also has a round sore on his back which the vet says is a tumor that popped. He doesn't seem in pain with it, and doesn’t seem to have arthritis. He is a sweet boy and obviously has had a rough time of things, but definitely seeks out a person and whines for them if he can smell them. He has a great appetite as well! With any blind dog, there is a period of adjustment, but it is felt that once he can get used to familiar surroundings, he will adapt.

We hope that a kind soul or a rescue will step up for Old Boy, and will give him much love and a warm place to live for whatever time he has left. But if a rescuer or adopter cannot be found, he will be held in loving arms when he goes over the rainbow bridge.

If you can give Old Boy lots of love and a soft, warm bed to lie on for the remainder of his golden years, please contact Kathy at KathyRN1983@yahoo.com.

NY, NY: Temporary Foster Needed for a Dog

On 8/1/10 I moved from the apt I had in Queens & am currently residing temporarily with my elderly aunt in the Bronx. Cosmo was with me there for a few weeks, but she is not allowed to have dogs as per the home attendant agency that cares for her. As a result he has been in Virginia with my ex-boyfriend for the past 3 weeks but he is now asking me to come get him or he will surrender him to a shelter.

I want to bring him back to NYC this weekend but he cannot stay in the Bronx with me and I will be looking for an apt for the new year, but until then where can I put him? Please let me know if you have any ideas, because I don't want my dog to die just because I don't have a permanent address. Friends & family all say the same "You can stay, but you can't bring the dog." So unfair pets are like our children not disposable objects. This makes me really sad.

If someone will foster him, I will take care of his food & maintenance expenses & if possible would like to pick him up for visits. I've had him since 2005. He also likes to hunt & will chase cats, squirrels lizards, mice etc. He can't hear but does understand some sign language & basic obedience commands. He's approximately 65 lbs. Part Dalmation as I was told by AC&C. I love this dog. He's a gentle sweetheart & makes friends every where he goes, I'm not kidding.

Troy, NY: Daschund Needs a Placement or She'll be PTS

I desperately need help finding a home for my father's beloved Dachshund. He passed away 3 weeks ago, and I have called every rescue in the area. I have been told that there are no available foster homes at this time, and that senior dogs are very hard to place. I would greatly appreciate your help.

She is a 14 yr old female Dachshund, deaf, and partially blind. Her disabilities do not impair her, and she still responds. She is trained, and does basic commands.

She needs good loving home, and if not, she will have to be put down.

This little girl is very lovable, calm, quiet but full of life. She grew up with a cat. She seems happy when she sees other dogs. I have never known her to snap at, or fight with another dog. In regards to the cat, it seemed like she simply "tolerated" her! Contact me at preiff@gmail.com

Manhattan, NY: Deaf Pit Bull in Kill Shelter

843438 -- BAMBAM, Neutered, 9months, Deaf (owner surrendered "No Time").

A VOLUNTEER WROTE: Bambam is such a great dog even with his disability this boy already knows to sit - play ball and walks beautifully. He is white all over with these unusual large coin circles of the faintest of gray on his back under his white hair and you have to get close up to see this; beautiful face and expressive eyes. He loves to be with company and actually would entertain himself once his human companion is around. Didn't seem to mind other dogs, just kept wagging his tail and he would definitely be suitable for an apartment. He weighs 48.90lbs -- In & Out: 4/15 and is rated Mild. Beautiful dog.

Another volunteer wrote:

I can not get his soulful eyes , his sweet face out of my mind.

How he just sat there patiently waiting for his turn to go out, just following me with his eyes not making a sound. Please, the shelter is no place for a delicate soul like Bam Bam. We need your help, come look at him take him out for a stroll, you will never put him back in his shelter kennel.

A Volunteer Wrote: Bam Bam has already made himself so popular at the shelter that volunteers are scrambling to walk him, write his bio, and otherwise champion him. It's not hard to root for this beautiful boy: He is an all white stunning dog, and at 9 months is so ahead of the curve he already knows how to sit, walk beautifully, and play ball. He's so seductive that one volunteer actually talks about melting into his eyes...and she's not wrong. What's most extraordinary about Bam Bam is that like many pit bulls who are all white, he is deaf. And like all the deaf, white pits that we have met, he rises above the bar in every other way to make up for his lack of hearing. He is alert, he is attentive, and he is lovely with people, affectionate and sweet and willing to please and obey any command that is given visually.

East Amherst, NY: English Setter Has Until 4/8

There is a friendly English Setter female that was found as a stray in rural Western NY. She is at a dog warden facility for a 5 day hold. She is wearing a tag, but most of the information on it is scratched off, except for the word "DEAF".

Her stray hold is up, and she either needs a rescue to pull her or to be claimed by her owners. Please crosspost far and wide. We are hoping someone can save her (our rescue does not have the room/foster space, or we would rush right down there and save her ourselves). We do not want her to die. If you know someone who can save her, please email us ASAP. Time is of the essence, she needs a commitment by this Thursday!!

This little girl is an owner surrender at the Manhattan shelter (Animal care and Control www.nycacc.org)

I don't have any room or funds for her, but I can pull her out through Red Hook Dog Rescue if someone else can take her. She probably can be adopted directly from the shelter too. Here are the numbers for the New Hope people at the Shelter. If you are interested and get through, tell them to contact me. Sometimes folks at this shelter can be difficult and I am not supposed to give out these numbers but so what. It is also possible that a local group will snap her up she is very cute.

BAMBAM – A843438 – 6 month old male DEAF pittie – 35lbs – OS, starting a new job
Owner is trying to get Bambam back…

A Volunteer Wrote: Bambam is like Valentine's Day candy--he's so sweet he makes our teeth hurt. He loves cats, dogs, and everyone he meets. And his gentle, joyful curiousity! When this 6 month old, 35 pound dog--who our behaviorists gave a high score of mild-expressed interest in my glove, I gave it to him only to have him hold it tenderly and then give it back to me. This dog is so cute that a big, macho dude passing us on the street actually giggled at him. Not laughed--giggled. He has an extraordinary ability for the extraordinary: He somehow innately knew to stop when I stopped, and to walk right by my leg, keeping up pace. I say "extraordinary" because according to his former owner, he is trained to go on a wee-wee pad rather than housebroken yet. But here is the most extraordinary thing of all: This heart-achingly bundle of goodness is deaf. It's something I was unaware of during our time together, that's how well he gets on in the world. He will make a joyful, joyful addition to anyone's life, and any family (or single person!) would not believe their luck in waking up every morning to such goodness.
