Dog Stolen from a Deaf Girl in NY!

Last night on WABC-TV news there was a report of a small dog stolen from a home in Ozone Park, Queens.

The dog recognizes sign language. His owner is a young, deaf girl. She is devastated. NYCdog is calling out to all dog owner groups to spread the word. Let's help find this dog.

(Incidentally, this is the third dog stolen from a house or yard in the last week in Queens.)

Here is a video with pic of dog:

Please spread the word and help reunite this young girl with her special friend.

Time for Aussie In Calif is Running Out!

Absolutely beautiful lethal white aussie. I'm not sure if he's deaf or not. I haven't had a chance to observe him in person, but my guess is that there's a good chance he is.

If anyone interested in adopting him please call the shelter phone number right away, or let me know and I can get your though to a shelter volunteer. Sadly, I think he only has a day left.

There's a photo and video of him on this website:

Deaf Collie/Sheltie Mix Pup in CO

Otto

This new puppy, whom we call Otto, was going to be put down a week ago Saturday at a northern Colorado shelter because he did not pass the temperament test. (He is a puppy! Good Lord!) So they called us. Even though he is not a collie or sheltie, we wanted to help the little guy. He has been at the home of our director in Pueblo and is quite happy. But we really need to find him a home soon that can work with him with sign language and just be there during his crucial puppy months.

If you want to see Otto, go to our website This is me, Otto! Thank you.

Molly -- Boston Terrier in NJ Looks for a Home!

Meet Molly, a four-year-old, deaf Boston Terrier and our resident kissy face. She was well-loved in her previous home, and was tearfully turned over to Friends of Homeless Animals because of a divorce. Very playful and affectionate, this petite girl is a HUGE fan of every human she meets. However, she is VERY interested in the cats living in her foster home, and has no desire to become friends with the resident Frenchie. But, she’s never been away from her previous owner before and she’s just settling in to a whole new environment, so we’re going to give her a few weeks to adjust and will fully assess her behavior then.

Molly’s foster mom noticed that she does the cutest thing: when settling down or trying to comfort herself, she takes her pink stuffed pig or her blanket, gathers them with her front paws and “nurses” on them until she falls asleep. She also likes to bring her “bone” to her people, and gives the most precious “LOVE ME!” face when she has it in her mouth. Molly likes to be around her people very much, and though crate trained, would prefer to be by her human’s side at all times when at home.

Molly is scheduled for a vet check-up, a spay, and updated vaccinations this week. Once she’s all healed, she’s set to visit a canine behaviorist and trainer, to see if this sweet little deaf girl can be taught some basic obedience. We know she’s smart, and we’re positive her inability to hear won’t hold her back one bit. On the plus side, Molly is both house broken and crate trained.

We believe Molly was never given any official boundaries or training, so someone who has experience with dogs is a must. And while Molly is absolutely fabulous with children, she tends to get excited and could easily knock over a toddler, so ages 10 and up would also be preferred.

If you have a soft spot for adorable deaf girls, or think you’d like to share your home with Molly forever, fill out an application and get the process started at http://members.petfinder.org/~MA226/ApplicationCGI.htm. This sweetheart of a Boston is going to be snatched up in no time! Molly is being fostered in NJ and can’t wait to meet you.

Home Wanted for Dalmatian/Italian Greyhound Mix in PA

Beautiful and sweet 4-year-old dalmatian/italian greyhound mix searching for a new, loving forever-family.

Daisy is deaf, but trained in hand signals. She's extremely smart and very well-behaved. She's a pure, sweet soul who just loves to snuggle. She also ADORES going for long walks around the neighborhood. She's used to cats and kids of all ages, and is sweet to them all -- her "worst" trait is that she loves to lick everyone!!!! :)

She'd do best in a home where she's the only dog. She gets along with cats and kids. She comes with a crate/bed, bowl, harness/leash. We're giving her up reluctantly, and are searching for a family who will truly appreciate her. Serious, sane inquiries only, please. She's an amazing dog, and deserves nothing but the best of homes.


She's up-to-date on her shots, healthy, well-trained, crate-trained (she uses her crate like a bedroom/safe-spot), loving, and basically an angel in a dog's body.

Thanks! Maggie
