Any news if anyone has contacted them who is interested to adopt, yet?

I hope cuz I won't like the idea of putting them to sleep by tomorrow. Why does it have to be by tomorrow which is pretty soon?

We need to remember that deaf animals are hard to place within the hearing community simply because they are DEAF as many hearing people don't want them. It is not only these deaf boxers but there are others on deathrow on DAR blog that needs saving too.

It is up to the Deaf community to do their part because a tiny fraction of the hearing community have done a lot for some deaf animals whether it is adoption, fostering or rescuing, but they can't do it ALL as they have hearing animals to try to save.

If you want to know about these dogs, call the ph# or email address on the blog of all deaf animals on deathrow.

DeafAnimalRow.blogspot.com (DAR blog) posts to inform the Deaf community. DAR blog kindly ask that people not expect DAR blog to be a savior and miracle by doing everything. People in the Deaf community in each state needs to do their part. Hope this helps and thanks!

yeah it's a very tough situation because Katherine (the heart and blood of this site) is doing this mostly all on her own - if more of us can pitch in and help - take responsibility of our kind - the deaf animals, more deaf animals will be saved.

some examples of what you can do to help: search using google and find deaf animals needing homes, send the picture, link, information to deafanimalrow@gmail.com which will post immediately.

email your friends in the deaf animal's state to spread the word and find someone to foster/adopt immediately.

call those shelters for updates on the animals and let katherine know at the same email address above .

and if you have a deaf animal, do a vlog and share your experiences having a deaf animal, we'll post on this site.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! We can't do this without YOU! SMILE... and THANK YOU from all the deaf animals out there!!!

Hi GarfieldAZ:

I feel it is more proactive to do your part and do something about it rather than pray.

It is not about the animal shelter that have no respect for them. Shelters everywhere are flooded with animals and they try their best.

The more Deaf community do their part in fostering, rescuing or adopting a deaf animal, we help shelters and other people try to save hearing animals.
