Whisper came to us as a stray along with her buddy, a Basset Hound. Whisper has the most beautiful blue eyes and is very laid back and mellow. Whisper is a special needs puppy in that she is deaf. Her buddy, the Basset has always been her ears, but unfortunately the Basset has been adopted and she is left to rely on others for her hearing. Please note, Whisper is in a kill shelter and dogs only have to be held for 72 hours due to limited space. Our adoption fee is a mere $32.00 ($20.00 for adoption and $12.00 for a license). What a small price to pay for adding such a great puppy to your family. Won't you give us a call to meet this great little puppy?
I'm a volunteer at the Highland County Dog Pound in Hillsboro, Ohio. There is a young dog (maybe 6-9 months?) that came into the pound as a stray and we are 99.9 % sure it's deaf.
Three volunteers took it outside today and tested its hearing. It only responded to motion. I will attach pictures. The petfinder posting will not be up until later tonight or in the morning. Most dogs only have 72 hours so please let us know as soon as possible if you can help. Thanks!
Honey is a beautiful 4 year old Pointer mix. She is white with fawn freckles, and she weighs about 35 pounds. Honey has been spayed. Honey is deaf, but this does not slow her down. She plays very close attention to her surroundings and the people around her. This is a very smart girl with a great smile. Honey enjoys playing, but she is also very quiet and loving. She charms everyone around her, and you will fall in love with this precious girl! Honey is spayed/neutered.
I have a dog here named Gertrude that I'm going to beg for your help with. She a dalamatian and is approx. 7 years old. She is deaf. I have been working with Dalmatian rescue to get her out of here but a few have said no due to her age and the other one has no room at this time. She wasn't spayed before she came her so we spayed her here and we also removed some mammory tumors. We biopsied the tumors and the came back benign. I'm really worried about her because she has be declining behavioral ever since her surgery. She needs to go into a dalmatian saavy home because she can be snappy sometimes. But she wasn't really like that before her surgery so I think it might be due to her surgery or her length of stay here. I'm really getting desperate because I think she truly deserves a second chance in a home that can give her the time to come around and are very dalmatian smart. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks, Carli

I volunteer with the local kill shelter. I have talked a nearby rescue (Logan's Run) into helping with vetting this poor pup IF I can find him a rescue or foster home. So far, no help. Please let me know if you can help or can pass this info along. We know what happens to the deaf and blind.
Casper was purchased from a breeder. The breeder was going to euthanize the pup ONLY because he is deaf, that is his only crime. He is 4 months old. We are taking him to the vet this week to see if he is truly deaf and to what extent the deafness is. He will be fully vetted appropriate for his age. We are located in Murphy, NC, and can help with transport.
