What a Spoiled Princess Angel is!

Rebecca and her St. Patty's Angel

Angel, who is deaf and approximately 4 years old, was brought in as a stray and saved from a shelter near Newhall, CA by Lisa Tipton at AngelDogs Foundation. She was not a stray, but rather, a free dog when she was captured. Her owners finally located her and showed up at the shelter demanding release with no fines or fees required! Angel was scheduled for euthanasia and her owners were at the shelter just MINUTES before her death, still arguing the fees and refusing to pay! 

Luckily, Lisa Tipton stepped in after getting word that there was an amazing deaf dog was in urgent need of rescue, and she did so just in the nick of time! Angel, actually named Corto(a) at the time (I think...), thankfully left in the safe company of Lisa!  Lisa said Angel just sat in the car just staring at her, while Lisa kept her face covered for protection with an arm and elbow just in case this strange dog decided to go crazy!  After a few minutes of Angel getting closer to Lisa's face while she stared, she gently licked her in thanks and the rest is history!

Lisa gave Angel her name after deciding she was special enough to bear the name of her non-profit rescue foundation!  Angel is the first pit bull, and the first deaf dog ever rescued by the foundation, so I guess she made quite an impression! (well- I happen to KNOW she did!)  The amazing training she received while in foster care was done by Lisa's husband, professional dog trainer, Mark Tipton. He is an extremely gentle and patient man and any time I observe Angel around him, she acts like she has the biggest crush in the world!  He taught her basic hand signals for commands, which he then taught me, and Angel and I have come up with many others of our own from there!

I first saw Angel on Petfinder.com. It was my first search on the sight and it was a few months after the passing of my first pit bull and soulmate, 15 year old Cayenne.  I didn't know how to live without her, but I did know that I didn't want to live without a dog!  I had the time, love and patience to give to dog and decided I wanted to adopt a special needs dog!  I remembered an advertisement I saw in a Pennysaver magazine 15+ years ago when Cayenne was a puppy...  It always stuck with me- it was a black and white piicture of a bunch of Dalmatian pups with the caption, "Perfect Puppies available to a good home. God only forgot to give us hearing!"  I NEVER forgot that (probably because I never knew of a deaf pet's plight) and vowed I would help deaf dogs one day!  I faxed my adoption application within minutes after seeing Angel's profile on Petfinder.com.  I don't know how or why she was the one I was drawn to out of all those dogs that needed a home, but I know that it was meant to be!  I desperately needed an Angel at such a low point in my life.

Lisa replied almost immediately after receipt of the application to schedule a meeting and home visit.  She said she was actually sold on me as a candidate when she read on the paperwork that I'd prefer to have my dog sleep in bed with me!  Well- Angel does share my bed with me every night!  My first impression of her and the best word I can use to describe her is MATERNAL!  She conveys so much emotion through her eyes and that beautiful green-eyed stare, and when she looked into my eyes the first time after standing up on her hind legs to get closer to my face, she conveyed that she simply just wanted to take care of me!  (and I thought I was the one the was doing the adopting! HaHa!)

Angel has been with me for almost 2 years, and she teaches me something new all the time!  She does not have a disability due to lack of hearing- she has an ABILITY!  She studies everything a human does around her like there will be an exam on it later!  If you have a project, she's your assistant!  She reads body language and facial expressions better than any living creature I've seen, and I SWEAR she reads lips now!  She even knows the differences in my wardrobe- if she sees me take out some jeans or sweatpants... FORGET ABOUT IT!!  She jumps up and down like a ping-pong ball and barks her high, shrill, excited bark and "Roo-Roo"!  

But if she sees me dressing in a skirt and heels, the depression sets in and she mopes around because she knows those aren't walking clothes!  A friend who was in the Navy put on his white uniform one day and she was completely enthralled and enamored with him like I've never seen act around another person before!  She had a human dressed just like her! She even speaks up and demands her beauty products when I apply face lotion and make-up!  If I'm putting the nice smelling stuff on me, she knows it's good enough for her!  (spoiled little diva!)  She wont stop barking and nudging me until I mimic what I do to my own face on her!  I think she really enjoys the nurturing aspect of it because when she first came to live with me, it was summertime and I had to apply baby sunblock to her to prevent sunburn while she'd sun herself.  I know she loved how the cool lotion felt on her hot skin and has been addicted ever since!

Oh, she LOVES to wear girlie satin dresses with bows (thanks again to Lisa Tipton for giving us her first "dress-up" dress!) and her favorite wardrobe accessory for herself is a pair of wings!  Well- actually, many, many pairs of wings!!  She has little girls' dress-up wings that she loves to wear because of all the extra attention she gets from everyone that sees!  I bought her angel wings, fairy wings, light-up wings, christmas elf wings, ladybug wings.

She loves to dip in the pool after her daily 2 mile walks, but only on the first step in the pool... I call it her "nipple dip"!  She doesn't want to get her hair wet and mess it up!  Haha!  I swear- I couldn't give birth to my own genetic child who would be as similar to me as Angel is!!

She has helped me with temporary foster dogs, and although a little jealous sometimes, she is always loving and patient at the core.  She has inspired me, rehabilitated me, and changed my life for the better in every way!

Baltimore, MD: Pit Bull Needs a Home or Rescue

There is $100 sponsorship offered by Vicki at vbweales@yahoo.com for rescue who takes her.  

Name: Grace

DOB: 2/14/10

Age: 23 months

Disability: Deaf

Breed/Weight: White, Pit Bull Terrier, approx. 45 lbs

I have a deaf 15 month old white female Pit Bull terrier that I need to find a home for.

Grace is a very sweet and affectionate pup. She loves belly rubs and to be pet. She is highly energetic & loves to be walked. Grace loves interacting with people and has been socialized with many dogs and cats. With love, consistency, and regimen, Grace has come to understand several commands using basic sign language. Like any puppy, she may give you that look, - “What?! Really?” but always follows through. She enjoys looking out the windows to see what or who is passing by.

Because of her disability, it can be difficult to let her off the leash.  She is looking for someone with patience and a lot of love to give back; and for a home with a lot of space to run her little heart out.

Owenton, KY: Pit Bull to be Dropped Off at Shelter

Pinky

Foster or Rescue needed ASAP please! Contact: debbie.strong@owen.kyschools.us or 502-514-1897 or hilarigentry1@gmail.com

Adoptive family wants to return after 8 months due to Pinky not getting along with their female dog; Pinky is wonderful with all people, children and male dogs.  In talking with the people last night, they are not happy about returning Pinky, but know of no other recourse.  I am to call them in a week, hopefully, with a foster situation for Pinky.  We can use help with finding foster for her instead of having Pinky resort back to a shelter setting.  Remember, too, Pinky is deaf.

Thanks.

Hempstead, NY: Pit Bull in Shelter and Needs Rescue

If you know of anyone you can contact Denise ASAP (dabandolo@aol.com) dabandolo@aol.com

Guys, do you know anyone that can foster/adopt/intake Cruiser? He is a super friendly pit bull in the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter.

He's still there.. we are watching closely to make sure he isn't in danger of being put down. We have no place for him to go right now, so it is day to day - he is about 1 year old.. very, very sweet loveable boy! Neutered, up to date on all his shots... I fell in love with his sky blue eyes!!!! Found out after I met him that he has a hearing disability. Hard to tell, but he's very friendly. Special needs dog... going to need patience and love!!! He should be the only dog. We have had him out with other dogs, some he likes, some he doesn't... Our trainer has been working with him... he's been there too long. Someone help!

Sea Cliff, NY: Pit Bull Time is Up

Hello everyone,

This is Whitey. She's a white pitbull located at Glen Animal Hospital in Sea Cliff, NY and is in DESPERATE need for a caring and loving home. Whitey is as sweet as can be and is special in one unique way; she's deaf. She's been deaf her entire 2 years of life and just wants someone to love her. Unfortunately, Whitey has been in this shelter for a year and a half and hasn't found a home yet since she's deaf. The other urgent and unfortunate part is that if she doesn't find a home by next week, they're going to put her to sleep. I'm asking you all to PLEASE help Whitey find a good home before this amazing dog gets put down. I strongly believe that every dog, whether good or bad deserves a chance at life and deserves to be loved and cared for no matter what.

If you are not interested in Whitey, please be kind enough to pass this email around to everyone that you know so that someone can adopt her. This is very time sensitive, so don't wait until the last minute, every minute of life is crucial to this dog this week and I'm not going to have this dog put down because no one wants her.

If you are interested, please contact the Glen Animal Hospital at 516-671-2800. They are located at 209 Glen Cove Avenue, Sea Cliff, NY 11579.

Even if you or someone you know could foster him until she finds his permanent home, that would be great.

Name: Whitey
Age: 2 years old
Sex: Female
Color: white with some brown spots.
Shots: I believe she should be up to date with all his shots.
Training: Since she is deaf, you need to use hand gestures, almost like sign language to her. The shelter will be able to give you all the info you need.

Thank you all SO much for taking the time out to read this. I'm sure Whitey appreciates it too :)

Sincerely,
Christine Capobianco

Islip, NY: Pit Bull Needs a Home or Sanctuary

Contact Deb at dabandolo@aol.com

I have a rescue dog named Frankie who has been in boarding on Long Island, New York for just about a year. He is approximately 2 years old, sweet, loving, and quite a handsome boy. He has been through training to learn hand signals, leash and obedience training. He is microchipped, up todate on shots...
He is very loved where he is but he has been there too long and we no longer have the funds to keep him there safe and cared for. Placement for Francis has proved to be difficult and we are in real need of finding him a home in a loving sanctuary where his needs can be met and he can thrive as he is. My rescue organization pulls all breeds from the city kill shelters frequently and Francis, renamed by his trainers was on the euth list so we saved him from the CACC'S high kill shelter, another disposable pit bull. If you have the space for Francis, we are really in need of getting him to his forever home as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Frankie's Story:

MEET FRANK HE WAS RESCUED FROM THE CACC LAST YEAR AND WHEN WE GOT HIM HE WAS SO DESTRUCTIVE HE WOULD JUST RIP EVERYTHING APART. WE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE HE WAS GETTING THIS ANXIETY FROM..WE WOULD TRY TO CORRECT HIM AND IT WAS LIKING HE WAS IGNORING WELL IT TURNS OUT HE WASN'T IGNORING WE WERE IGNORING HIM HE WAS DEAF AND WE DIDN'T KNOW...WE CONTACTED THE SHELTER AND GOT SOME MORE DETAILED INFO THAT THEY HAD NOT TOLD US PREVIOUSLY..FRANKIE WAS BEATEN UP SOME A BUNCH OF KIDS WITH STCIKS..HE CAN'T SEE OUT OF ONE OF HIS EYES..AND CONFIRMED BY OUR VET HE IS DEAF...CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING AT ALL....SO WHAT NOW...WE SENT HIM FOR SIGN LANGUAGE AND BOOT CAMP TRAINING WHICH HE IS STILL CURRENTLY AT ELITE TRAINING AND BOARDING FACILITY IN ISLIP LONG ISLAND..WE ARE PAYING $45.00 A DAY FOR HIM TO STAY THERE BECAUSE WE DON'T THINK HE WILL DO WELL IN OUR SHELTER WHERE HE CAN'T CONTINUE HIS SIGN LANGUAGE TRAINING ON A REGULAR BASIS.

WE ARE AWAITING FOR A SANCTUARY WHERE HE WILL LIVE THE REST OF HIS LIFE ON A FARM..

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP US WITH HIM.....TO HELP US HELP FRANKIE AND KEEP HIM SAFE AND HAPPY FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE... WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN EUTHANASIA UNLESS AN ANIMAL IS SUFFERING AND THERE IS NOTHING MEDICALLY MORE WE CAN DO TO SAVE THEM... OPEN YOUR HEART TO FRANKIE...HE DESERVES IT!!!

Nashville, TN: Pit Bull Needs Another Placement

I am a volunteer for the MJ shelter and help several rescue groups but this one is special needs and would like her to get the help and special attention she needs. She is about 6-8 months old and has been picked up in the Nashville area about 4 months ago in the middle of the street. She is deaf, not sure if she is completely or just partial because she does seem to hear very loud bangs just not clapping of the hands or being called or the other dogs barking. She is a pure white pit with a pink nose and ears. There is currently 4 other dogs in the home and 2 are very dominant and keep beating her up and this is one of the reasons she needs to get out of the home quickly. The owner is an elderly man and his children and grandchildren seem to keep bringing animals home and he said then he is left responsible for their care, but this one he really wants to have her find a good home because of her special needs and he knows his home is not it. If there is anything anyone can do, please e-mail as soon as possible, I will transport her. She is a sweet dog and needs love and attention.

Alvarado, TX: Abandoned 3rd time and Needs a Safe Place

3rd time in a year!

Sunday we found out that the neighbors in back of us had moved. They had a beautiful white dog that they kept chained to a telephone pole with a dog house. No shade at all. I guess they thought he would get into the dog house to get out of the sun (and COOK). When I investigated more closely, I found that he had no food, no water. What were they thinking: when he got hungry, he'd just go somewhere and someone would pick him up and feed him? Or shoot him? Or get run over? Sometimes I just hate people! God forgive me!

It's just unbelievable. He was really hungry. We moved his chain and dog house under the carport so he can have shelter. We're feeding him and making sure he has water at least twice a day. We let him off the chain to run. But we're not comfortable leaving him off for his own safety. He isn't very old - maybe a year. He has the most wonderful personality, smiles all the time. Happy, runs around barking. Comes and sits in front of you. Loves everybody. Starved for attention. Is not food aggressive. Loves to be brushed and petted. He doesn't know what to do with treats - buries them, I guess for his next meal.

A family moved in summertime in July and wanted to keep him. I don't know when they moved, but they're gone and he's still there. We are feeding him and caring for him. He has shelter - carport and 2 dog houses - is still on his steel cable, but we have no other way to contain him.

We obviously need help. Actually I think he may be house trained. The trailer was open yesterday and I went in looking for some clue of the owner. He came in with me and went over in the corner and laid down. He's very docile.

Please contact me at this number: 817 659 9275.

Thank you,

Cathie

Jacksonville, FL: Pit Bull Lost Since 11/26/10. Help!

It has been a week now that Petey, a deaf pit bull, has been missing. He was adopted from the Animal Control last summer when his time was up. Please crosspost far and wide non stop until Petey is found safely. For information about Petey, check the link on craiglist:

http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/laf/2088925945.html

I made my great escape last Friday (Nov 26) at around 3pm. I think it's around this time I made my great escape because a former human roommate left in a huff, when he was supposed to be watching me. My owners are hoping I just made my escape and still am in Florida. I am a handsome boy at one year old and I am playful. I'm very friendly with humans, never have bitten any, but I may be a little rough on other dogs. This is also something I don't like to tell people, but I have this nervous chewing habit when I'm left alone by myself. I have eaten my owner's expensive camera, blinds, bed, sheets, you name it! Whatever you do, don't leave me alone in a room. I will get into trouble for sure! I also happen to be deaf. I can hear only extremely loud noise but I won't know which direction it comes from.

I've escaped once before, and I was found by Orange Park High School, and taken to Clay County Animal Protection Services in Green Cove Springs. My owner had to spring me out and pay a fine because I didn't wear a tag. I have had all my vaccinations, rabies and all.

Again, my stats are:

Neutered, male, white with spots on my fine coat - I have a spot on one of my eyes, just like the dog in the old tv show Little Rascals. I was wearing a reflective collar, black and gray (the reflective part is gray). My owner was stupid enough to postpone getting me my tag and see what happens! However I do have a microchip, so shelters can scan it for identification purposes... if they do it at all when they are not too overwhelmed with the volume of dogs like me getting in all the time.

I think I am done with my grand adventure and I am ready to go home to my owners. I don't know why, but they love me with all their hearts and I'm sure they are very sad about me being gone. Please help me get back home where I belong!

Maury County, TN: Pit Bull Needs Help

The young man who saved the dog said that he had seen the two dogs playing in a field that morning on his way to work. He said he thought why are those beautiful dogs running loose (boxer & bulldog). They should be in their yard. (He couldn't stop because he was on his way to work) On his way home from work he saw them on the side of the highway. (Highway 7 in Maury County) He thought they were both dead but he pulled off the highway to check. That's when he noticed the white bulldog had his head resting on the boxer's chest. He raised his head and began to whimper & cry. The young man picked him up and put him in his truck. He said he just had to help!!! The dog is a young unaltered male. He is very friendly with other dogs and children. If you sit down beside him he will get in your lap and lie down. (Wants to be held like a baby) He is shy and cowers down if you raise your hands...(Like he's been hit). The man already has two dogs of his own and can't take in another one. If you can help, please let me know by sending me an email at srine@maurycounty-tn.gov. Sonjalyn Rine

Ermine, KY: Pit Bull Pup Needs Help ASAP

Spike is a very sweet solid white pit bull that is deaf. He will be one year old in December. He weighs about 60-70 lbs. Spike is not neutered. His family is looking for him a new home because they just don’t have the time for him and they recently moved and can’t have him where they are now. He is currently staying with a friend but needs a home or rescue or he will be going to the local kill shelter. His family did not know he was deaf when they purchased him and they are not familiar with training a deaf dog. They say he is very friendly and great with kids. They have been trying to sale him on a classifieds page and this is where I saw him. I contacted them about a month ago and they were hesitant to accept any help. I’m afraid they will still try to sale him even though they have now accepted our help so the sooner he can find rescue the better. I don’t want him to end up with dog fighters, which are quite common here. He is located in Perry County, Kentucky

I am the contact for this boy.

Thank you,
