Home Needed for Deaf Lab/Pit Mix in NY

Adopt Kyrpto

From a FIDO Member

I've been involved with Animal Haven Shelter for over a year now. This former no-kill shelter has changed it's mission and policies to be a limited-intake adoption center with the possibility of humane euthanasia for many animals. What it boils down to is there are many innocent cats and dogs whose lives are now at risk- simply due to restructuring.

In particular, there's a dog named Krypto who needs to be placed as soon as possible. Krypto is a 3 year old Lab-Pit mix, and he is deaf. He's a very loyal companion, who's happy to show off sit and is really looking for someone to guide him. He gets along with other dogs, and anyone he meets, and he is also mostly housebroken. Because he is deaf, he will need someone who can learn to be his guide and help him when he gets scared. See his pix:

Additionally, there are over 100 cats and other dogs who are at risk and in need of a home.

If you or anyone you know might be able to help in placing these pets, please get in touch with me as soon as possible.

Deaf Boxer in NC Needs Help!

“JUNE BUG” (ID# 15174) is 4 year old purebred deaf Boxer that knows sign language. She was dropped off today at the shelter b/c her family is going through a divorce. They’ve had her since she was born. She is great with children and other dogs, but her sheet says not so much with cats. She is already housetrained. Sheet says that she hasn’t been spayed. Because of her handicap (deafness) she will not understand anyone at the shelter and doesn’t know what is happening to her. If anyone can please go rescue her before she gets sick and depressed, you’d be doing her a favor of a lifetime! She has a sponsor of $40 already.

Go to Yuri's petfinder link below to sponsor (donate what you can)

Yuri
Yuri is a male, deaf, all white, stray approx. 7 mos old. He does well with other dogs but will need a normal puppy training. Pictures are below but I am told that he is much cuter in person. He really needs to get out of the shelter. He is located at the York County SPCA. If you know of any other rescues for hearing impaired dogs...please pass this to them. York County SPCA in PA is NOT a no-kill shelter and euthanize often for space.

Macy May Needs Home to Call Her Own in NJ!



Macy May

This is Heather, Canine Rescue Coordinator for Camden County Animal Shelter, Blackwood, NJ.
We have an absolutely wonderful young pitbull/terrier mixed breed girl named Macy May, who was surrendered to our Shelter when the family's home was foreclosed upon.

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=12857683

Macy May is about three years old and was trained in the use of hand signals. She's very bright and energetic. She is fine with other animals. We have recommended children over toddler age due to her exuberant personality.
We are severely overcrowded and we are concerned that Macy's disability will cause adopters to pass Macy on by. As she is used to being in a home, we would like to see her out of the kennel environment and with a group experienced in helping find placement for special needs dogs.

If you can help or know someone who can, kindly contact me at info@ccas.org. As always, that you for all that you do for the animals!

Heather Speeks
Canine Rescue Coordinator
Camden County Animal Shelter

Deaf Dalmatian Chained and Almost Frozen!

Turk

Turk is 11 years old. Take a moment to imagine ourselves in his paws and it is nothing to take for granted. A life of hell no one should experience. He has been rescued and his health is questionable. Go to the link of this rescue who will continue to update on his progress:

If you want to donate on Turk's behalf, contact the rescue at questions@gotspots.org and inform them of that.

Senior Dalmatian Needs to Get Out in GA!

Ashes

Breed: Dalmatian
Age: Senior
Gender: Male
Size: Large
Shelter: Lumpkin County Animal Shelter
1363 Red Oak Flats Road
Dahlonega, GA
Shelter dog ID: 12736896
Contact tel: 706-864-4144
Contact name: Dan Bowers
Contact email: dbowers7@alltel. net

Ashes is 11 years old and is deaf. Neither slow him a bit. He is very active, follows hand signals and gets along very well with the other dogs in the exercise yard. The person who has had him can no longer support a large dog. Can you help Ashes live out several more years? If we don't get help very soon we will have to euthanize him since our kennel is constantly over crowded. Come see him and you will not regret the trip.
