Erie, PA: Brittany Spaniel Needs a Foster

He is most likely deaf. I don't usually broadcast to other rescues or shelters for Brittanies, as I am a coordinator for them for CO and WY, but I have few deaf dog contacts, and this guy needs a wider cast of the net. Bo is very handsome and used to kids, other dogs, and cats. Experience with deaf dogs a plus for any foster, but he seems willing to learn and is responsive. If you have rescues who specialize in deaf dogs, please distribute. If foster is found, NBRAN will handle all medical costs. This guy is in PA, so transport could be an issue, but let us know where he is welcome, and NBRAN will make transport possible.

St. Louis, MO: Deaf Dog in Need of Foster or Adopter
Contact person: Theresa Coker at tcoker @ westportpools.com
The rescue group I volunteer for (Dr. Doug's Vet-Pet Rescue, www.vet-petrescue.org) has inherited a young, deaf, mixed breed dog and we're looking for help for him.
The story I've heard goes that the dog was pulled from JCAC as a puppy by a group called PAWS. Last year, the cat fosters from PAWS split off and joined Vet-Pet but PAWS kept rescuing dogs (and apparently cats too). In late December, early January Vet-Pet got a call from Webster Groves Emergency Clinic - someone had dropped off three kittens and a dog that they claimed they found on the side of the road. All the animals were microchipped to PAWS. I don't know what the whole story is but the three cats were 5 months old and unsocialized and the dog has never had anyone work with him either I'm sure. I don't know why PAWS didn't reclaim the dog…supposedly the rescue group has fallen apart completely but I don't know the story behind that.
Since Vet-Pet took over the accepting of any cats that were PAWS returns, we went and picked the cats up. Webster was going to take the dog back to JCAC and our coordinator got softhearted and decided we would take him on and try and find a foster/forever home for him. We haven't been able to find anyone with deaf dog experience or who is willing to learn how to communicate with him.
He's estimated to be 8 months old, somewhere along the line it was thought he was a pit mix…I don't see any pit in him personally. He's already fully vetted and weighs about 35 maybe 40lbs? Currently he is living in a small run at Clarkson-Wilson Vet Clinic in Chesterfield, MO. He only gets out for brief potty breaks and when a volunteer can take him for a walk…which is certainly not going to help his adoptability. He's a great dog, smart, easy to motivate with treats and attention. Is supposedly good with dogs and kids…cats I don't know about. He just needs someone to work with him and teach him some self control and obedience. If you know of anyone with deaf dog experience (or willingness to learn) that might be interested in fostering or adopting Cheezy (no idea why they named him that), then please call Courtney at Clarkson-Wilson Vet Clinic, 636-530-1808. We can transfer him to another rescue, adopt him out, or sign a new foster up with our group.
Please feel free to cross-post and let me know if I can help with transportation or anything like that.
Thanks,

Temp Foster Needed in Southern CA
Elisa,Can you please help me put the word out that I need to find a home for Dottie, Roxy (2 great dogs), Smoke and Sasha (2 amazing cats). The economy has kicked me in the tuckas so Chelsea and I have to relocate quickly and can not take them with us. I need a place for them for at least a month maybe two. So if you know of someone who could foster them for me that would be great. Even if it's only for a few weeks that would help. I will provide food and can pay someone a little bit, but not much. If they are close by (in the LA area) I can also come over and take the dogs for walks or to the dog park.
Now, a little about the loves of my life......
Dottie is an amazing Dalmatian, not the typical hyper-frenitic type, but a sweet, loving, mellow soul. She'll protect you and love you, but the best thing about her is her smile. Once you see it you'll be hooked. She's 8 years old and beautiful.
Roxy is truly the best that a dog can be. She has more love and kindness in her than any dog that I've ever come across. She's a Golden Lab mix with an enormous heart of gold. Although she is deaf, she doesn't require any additional work (other than making sure that she doesn't get out because she won't hear cars coming or the sound of your voice calling her back). She's really good with hand signals and learns new commands quickly. She is 7 years old and a true jewel.
Both dogs are good with children, other dogs and have lived with cats their entire lives. I can't tell you how many times I've woken up to 2 dogs and 2 cats sleeping in my bed with me!! I'll miss that.
In an ideal world, I'd love to find someone who can take both of the dogs because they have been together forever and Dottie has been Roxy's "ears". I know that this might be an impossible task so I'm realize that I may have to split them up. As long as they're in a loving home they will both be fine. They are both fixed and microchipped.
Smoke is a long haired grey tabby. He's the only boy of the bunch, but he's 14 years old so his "catting around" days are behind him. Lately he's become very cuddly. Sasha is a white short haired tabby and is as sweet as can be. She loves to get love and give love.
Both cats are fixed, and Sasha is microchipped. They love to be outside so if I can find a place that allows for that, they'll be in heaven. They have also been raised around dogs and kids and they're okay with both.
I really appreciate your help. Thank you, thank you , thank you.
