3 Deaf Dogs in Philadelphia Need Saving

PLEASE CROSSPOST FOR THESE SWEETIE PIES, ALL DEAF!

Kirby (a0901165)

Kirby

6-9 month old pure white male pit mix that is hearing impaired and stick in a high volume shelter! Little Kirby is playful and sweet and needs a home that understands the needs of hearing impaired dogs and is able to train him to be confident and well socialized. Kirby has no resource guarding issues and seems to enjoy the company of other dogs!

Elmo (09189255)-URGENT

Elmo

Elmo is a 15 year old beagle that needs to leave ASAP. This old boy was surrendered by family members that took him in after his owner died. He started having seizures after his owner passed and the family that took him in no longer want to care for him. This poor boy is also deaf. Elmo needs another chance! He walks like a dream on the leash, he prances with not a care in the world. He seems to be housebroken and loves to be outside where he can lay in the sun and sniff around.

Dessy (A07301765)

Dessy

Super sweet, hearing impaired gal that is looking for her permanent home. Dessy came into the ACCT shelter as a stray on March 10, where she was quickly put into foster care. Dessy is not only looking for a home that understands the needs of deaf dogs and can help her flourish, but also one that is active and FUN! She loves to play! Dessy is good with most other dogs (she can however be a bit overwhelming to less energetic or dominant dogs) and can entertain herself as well. Dessy is very people oriented and enjoys time on the couch as well. Dessy's favorite activities:
-swim and splash (mostly splash) in the kiddie pool -skateboarding or jogging -outdoor festivals, she's been to a few and has been great! She is always making fast friends.
-and of course that most traditional game of fetch, she loves it so much, its sometimes adorably goofy.

Dessy would benefit greatly towards her success at being a perfect house dog from nice walks and is learning to walk quite well on leash, she is also great in the car and enjoys sticking her head out the window to sniff the wind!

As much as Dessy loves to play she is also a wonderful snuggler, and can be quite lovey-dovey. Dessy is already spayed and microchipped and is ready to be adopted into her home.

She is about 1-2 years old and is crate trained and is well on her way to understanding house breaking.

LECHE – A838825 – 1 yr old male pittie – 52lbs – OS, 11/20, owned one year, no time to care for.

He is in adoption ward, meaning he is healthy and has good enough behavior to be adopted but is still in a kill shelter.

A VOLUNTEER WRITES:

Leche is a 1.4 yo male relinquished on 11/20 to the shelter. Leche was pre-owned and his actual owner had no time for him anymore. Leche is said to be a very loving, affectionate and highly caring companion animal. He would be very good toward people, children and other dogs. His owner says that Leche is deaf. Leche weights 53lbs and has some type of non contagious dermatitis, may be nutritional. He was rated No Concern upon arrival.

Leche is a gorgeous white dog with blue eyes. He is a bit on the hyper side and at first, jumps at his caretaker. No aggression in this young fellow. He wants to play and snuggle with you. He would love to be a lap dog and dreams to be a teacup Chihuahua. Leche is indeed very friendly. We have not seen any display of aggression toward other dogs, on the contrary. He seems to be housebroken. Deaf dogs can be wonderful in the right hands.

Deaf Dog (Boxer?) in FL is in Danger!

If anyone can help, please let me know. I have NOT pulled this dog, so he is in very really danger of euthansia (sadly, I am out of space and funds at the moment). He is DEAF. Very beautiful (I know the picture is terrible), super sweet----watches your every move so he would probably be very easy to train with hand signals. He is just a doll!!! Young, friendly with other dogs. Please contact me ASAP if you can help.... I will pull if he has a place to go. Whoever can help can contact me directly at 850-499-3970 or saveunderdogs@aol.com. Ask for Terri. The dog is in Northwest Florida in the dog pound. Has to be pulled by a rescue. They will not release to individuals. Thank you!!!

Blind/Deaf Pup in TX Needs a Home ASAP!

Her name is Lilly and she is a blind/deaf pit puppy. She is at the Waco TX Animal Shelter and call Fallon at 254-754-1454.

Please Forward this angel! I am desperate to save her. She is so sweet and so scared. She came in as a stray all alone (on my first day at the shelter). She is currently in my office and comfy. I would love for her to go to a rescue for deaf/blind dogs. I feel she would do better with a companion. Being that she is at the city shelter though I do not want to take a chance on her getting sick from another puppy. She's been dewormed and had her first shot. HELP!!
