Philadelphia, PA: Deaf Boxer and Rescuer Need Your Help!

I was involved with remarkable lady, Rosemary, when it came to deaf dogs and I fostered some hearing dogs for her. They all have been placed in a wonderful home. Rosemary is very careful with her screening, which I have participated in and learned from.

The situation here is that Rosemary has several broken vertebrae from the fall and is in a body brace for 3-5 months. All of her dogs were moved to another foster home and/or forever home. Gracie, a deaf boxer, was put in a dog boarding. She deserves to be in a foster home in a real home or better yet, in a forever home with someone qualified. For more information about Rosemary and Gracie and how to help them, please check the links:

Philadelphia, PA: Deaf Orange Tabby with CH




ELLI

Update 06/13/12:

Elli is spayed, UTD on vaccines and is tested negative for FIV/FeLV. DOB is 1/22/2008. Due to an unforeseen change in her owners' living situation, NAR welcomed Elli back into our care (as we would do with all of our adopted cats).  All grown up now, Elli is once again looking for her forever home. Elli keeps to herself, and would be fine as an only cat or with another gentle, laid-back cat.  She does not require any special care except regular brushing and lots of love. She has adapted well to her CH (Cerebullar Hypoplasia). 

For more information about Elli, adoption and her Cerebellar Hypoplasia, check here:

Erie, PA: Brittany Spaniel Needs a Foster




Contact: Susan E. Spaid, President, National Brittany Rescue and Adoption Network


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.

Philadelphia, PA: Daschund Needs to Get Out

Call 215 426 6300, extension # 234 or 251

Oscar


Oddball Oscar is an adorable deaf little wiener dog of about 9 years old who is desperate to find someone who will love him and understand him, for once! Oscar was surrendered by his owner's son because they could no longer care for him. It's true, Oscar is deaf and does have some cataracts, but that doesn't mean he is ready for the end! Sheesh

This spunky guy has a lot of living to do and love to give. In fact, when you take Oscar for a walk, he trots along like a youngster, leaping up onto steps without a care in the world, ears flapping in the wind like flags. He really likes to go for walks and explore what is around him - typical inquisitive dachshund! Oscar was tested with cats at the shelter and did pretty well, so he could probably live with a kitty if you have one at home. He also did OK with other little dog he met here, but please bring any resident pups you might have at home in with you to meet Oscar so that we can make sure it's a perfect match! 


Oscar can be a little fussy over his food bowl, so we recommend feeding him separate. We would also prefer that he go to a home without children (as they might freak him out with his hearing issue and impaired vision). An ideal place for t his guy would be a nice calm home with adults who are pretty relaxed but do enjoy getting outside for some fresh and sight seeing. Does this sound like you or someone you know?

Please share for Oscar or come and meet him today! Must be a 501c3 to pull from this shelter! To inquire about him or visit him, here is the information: 350 East Erie Avenue, Philadelphia PA 19134 and 215 426 6304

Drexel Hill, PA: Cat Needs to Be in a Home




There is an abandoned, older, deaf, female, black cat in our apartment complex. She was left by a neighbor that is unable to return to her apartment, health reasons as well as emotional. At the moment, Cherry is living under a table in a little cat carrier (blanketed), is being fed and is fairly content. We all have adult cats so taking her in is not an option. I work and have a small place with no way to separate adult cats so I can not consider having her. The bad weather is coming so there is that concern. Thanking you in advance. Kind regards.


Best,
Roseanne

Pittsburgh, PA: American Bulldog Needs Help Now

For more info on him please contact Janice at Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley:
by phone: 724-339-7388


Our deaf doggie is Littlefoot. Here are his stats and his picture is attached:
Breed: American Bulldog Mix
Gender: Male
Age on arrival: 2 year
Date of arrival: 11.15.10

This big guy is a little puppy at heart. He was born deaf, which was unknown to his owners and proved to be a challenge because they also had a new baby. With no extra time to train their special needs dog, Littlefoot was kept in the basement. Littlefoot would benefit from an owner with dog handling/training experience. We will only adopt this dog to a home with a fenced yard for his safety. If you have any questions or need anything, please let me know. Thank you!!
