Deaf Dog in NYC Needs Home or Foster ASAP!

Dallas aka Sir Gruntsalot

Are you willing to foster this beautiful and sweet Deaf and partially blind Australian Shepherd/American Staffordshire Terrier mix. Ultimately looking for a forever home for him but until then he needs the love, attention and home life he deserves. Pulled from a shelter hours before he was to be gassed down south. I found he was severe heartworm positive and almost died twice during treatment. He is healthy now and starting a new life up north in the NYC area. He is very strong, a big mush with people, loves to sit in your lap and loves to kiss, but would need someone who knows how to handle his zest for life. Very playful and happy an ideal home would be without other pets, definitely no cats and no small children since his zest for living makes him run and jump and he might knock a little person down unintentionally.

He needs to be out of where he is being fostered ASAP since he does not get along with the fosters dogs and it's a very small apartment. He is with White Angels Hope Rescue and you may either contact Margret at Softestpaws@aol.com also 917 748 4916 or Kim at kkm9880@hotmail.com

Please contact Belva (jvaughn@wfeca.net) for more information about this pet.

This is the cutest pup who looks like Great Pyrene but not sure if she is a purebred. She has the coloring & the look and will be a large dog. Needs a new home or breed rescue to save this girl. She appears to be only about 3 months old and has a mellow attitude.

All dogs will be heartworm tested, all shots including rabies, wormed and spayed/neutered upon adoption. All cats (with exception of heartworm test) will have the same but will also be tested for feline leuk.

Deaf Labrador Mix in OH Needs Rescue!

Can anyone help this little girl? She is a young lab mix who has found herself in a horrible place. We believe her to be completely deaf. I will sponsor her fees to an approved rescue group.

Look to Adopt a Deaf Cat in VA?

Rascal
I am in need of some help on finding a home for a sweet deaf kitty that I’m fostering due to a family illness. My aunt had open heart surgery in July and had a stroke during – she’s recovering well but she will never be back to the point of living on her own and take care of her kitty again. She is fine with me finding Rascal a new home.

His name is Rascal - he’s a very sweet and lovable 7 year old, neutered, deaf, declawed (front paws), indoor kitty. He weighs a little over 15 lbs – he’s not obese. He’s just a big kitty. His shots are up to date. He loves to be brushed and loved on. He is used to being an only cat but with time, may adjust to others as he has with most of mine. He’s okay with my dog Kroger (Kroger’s 13 and deaf from age – she’s a very calm dog) but Rascal does not like the other dog, Jake, at all. Jake is a lot more “active” and I think Jake just scares Rascal even though Jake loves cats but Rascal isn’t buying it. Over the last couple of months they have been able to coexist with each other – basically, Rascal hisses at Jake and Jake backs down.

Here is where the problem lies – I also have two cats, Catdog and Sally. Rascal and Catdog get along sort of okay but Sally hates Rascal – really hates him. Unfortunately, she becomes very aggressive towards Rascal on sight. I’m keeping Rascal in his own room. It would be great if eventually they all could get along, but I really don’t think Sally and Rascal will work things out. I’ve had Rascal for three months and things have not improved between the two – so I really would like to find him a home where he can be safe and happy. Email me at hoover@barron-associates.com

Thanks,

Bobo

This is so heartbreaking. How can anyone do that to such a furry creature? Tanya Martin, the owner, will be charged in court. His owner tied him up and put him on the stove. Someone came to Bobo's rescue with over 50 percent of severe burn on his body. He is currently being hospitalized while everyone awaits on whether or not he'll make it.

Here is the latest article on Bobo:

With the severity of Bobo's injury and the length of hospitalization, I am sure donations would be greatly appreciated. You can write a check payable to "Bobo's Care" and mail to Table Mountain Animal Center Foundation, P.O. Box 270587, Louisville, CO 80027 or do it via online by going to this site at https://www.blacktie-colorado.com/online_sales/nonprofit_donation.cfm?id=1313 and remember to put in "Bobo's Care."

Deaf/Partially Blind Chow has Until Monday at 8 am

My name is Marcie Bonar and I am a volunteer with the Animal League of Gaston County (www.algc.us) There is a last chance Chow at our high kill facility, Gaston County Animal Control in Gastonia, NC, that is classified as deaf and partially blind, Tag #7153.

He is set to be euthanized in the gas chamber at 8:00 am Monday, 10/20/08. If any rescues can help take him, I can pull him from the shelter and pay to have him vaccinated and for one nights boarding. I would need your help in paying to board him the rest of the time until transport could be worked out. If you can help, please phone me at 704-678-6639 BEFORE 7:45 AM Monday, 10/20/08. The paperwork says nothing about aggression or any other issues.

I will not have access to a computer over the weekend, so please cross-post to anyone who might be able to help him. They can call me anytime at 704-678-6639 but I must be able to confirm a rescue with Animal Control before 8:00 am Monday, 10/20/08.

Tag #7153 - AC paperwork says dog is unadoptable for being partially blind and deaf.. I've got a hold on this dog until 5:00 Friday.
