Louie: A Deaf Senior Dog Needs Home in KS!

UPDATE: ADOPTED!I'm not young and up to date on the internet ways. This is the dog, Louie, who is listed urgent at City of Emporia Animal Shelter, Emporia KS. I will donate $30 toward his adoption fee if someone can find a place for him. I'm not sure how much longer he has to find a home at this point.

Boparoo Desperately Seeks Forever Home in AL!

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

Gosh, that is great what you are doing on this website!! Boparoo came to us (Metro Cat Clinic) when he was six weeks old. He was born in March of 06. He is combo neg, up to date on all shots, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $85.00.

He is very friendly and loves other cats, but has grown up in a vet clinic where he is much loved, but I know he would love a home with a nice bed to sleep in.

Since he has never been in a home environment, it will take someone who understands to work with him or just give him time to adjust. He would do best in a home with another cat since he watches what they do and learns.

Thanks for anything you can do for this great guy. I am over my limit with animals and so is everyone else that works here or he would of been adopted. I think being in a deaf home would be wonderful for him.

I give him Fancy Feast can food every morning and when he sees me coming, he just screams with excitement.

Thanks, Carrie

I am on the top of the world!

After Deaf Animal Row asked Carrie why hasn't Boparoo been adopted during those 2 years since kittenhood, she said, "We have tried to get him adopted since he was a kitten, but no one wanted to take on a deaf kitten. So, I am still trying." Let's help put an end to his 2 years of waiting period for a purrfect home. Carrie can be reached at: carrieandcats@earthlink.net

ELFIE, 3 year female stafffie mix

ID# A935370

Impound date: 03/22/08

Status: URGENT, medical condition

P.S. Katherine here at Deaf Animal Row, I picked up a malnourished hearing staffie from the street over a year ago that I nursed back to health and fostered. I was bonded to her and she was an incredibly loving dog. She was adopted to a wonderful couple who spoil her to rotten. Hope Elfie will be as lucky. Below is a picture of Shauna before and after:

Sponsor this Deaf Cat, Maxi, to Save His Life in KY!

UPDATE: Sponsored but in need of a home
FURTHER UPDATE: ADOPTED!

Maxi is a gorgeous solid white kitty w/ stunning blue eyes. This "deaf" kitty was outside and found as a stray. He's truly lucky to be alive w/ no protection and not being able to hear! He's a very very affectionate & playful boy and he will MEOW rather loudly when he wants attention. He will steal your heart in about 2.2 seconds if you just give yourself the opportunity to fall in love. IF You cannot adopt Maxi, consider sponsoring his adoption to help save his life and offer him a better chance @ finding a forever home!

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=10560970

Maxi was discovered after browsing the same website that Kelly, the deaf pitbull mix, was at. I am going to sponsor $35 in her care and I ask that you donate whatever you can. Go to the link above that will lead you to two buttons to sponsor or donate. This will buy Deaf Animal Row and others time to find her either a foster or permanent home for Maxi. With enough sponsorship, the money could go towards to this cat being fixed, tested and vaccinated. I am not exactly sure how that works with sponsorship.

Deaf Animal Row have been successful in helping place the majority of deaf cats on this blog into a wonderful deaf friendly homes. I sometimes get email from people, asking for a deaf cat to adopt. Because of these people lined up, two of several deaf cats that I was informed about and have not been posted on here are on verge of going to a home and these stories will be posted on here shortly. If you are interested to adopt Maxi, do not hesitate to email the shelter.

I hope that one day Deaf Animal Row will have as much success in facilitating the adoption of deaf dogs into a deaf friendly households like it has for the deaf cats.

Kelly -- Need a Home Fast in Kentucky

FURTHER UPDATE: It is with regret that Kelly is euthanized.

UPDATE: The petfinder said Kelly is adopted, but the shelter officers said she has been euthanized. This will be followed up.

Hi! My name is Rhonda and I'm a volunteer, looking to help Kelly out of the shelter. Kelly is deaf and hardly anyone around here will adopt her. She is right now in the Bowling Green Humane Society Shelter in Kentucky. Check her out and see if you can help her out. Email me at rhondai@yahoo.com

Spay/Neuter & Adopting from Shelter = You Save Lives!

I hate to be the bearer of this sad reality as no one does, but I feel this is important to educate the public. This hit me when one of the deaf cat adopters contacted me to inform me that his friend wants to know if she can have a deaf cat or deaf dog that is not spayed/neutered. I explained why it is not going to happen, which this adopter did relay but that person didn't believe it and want to hear it from me. So, I thought I'd might as well let more than one person
learn by sharing here.

I will be no part nor do I support in allowing someone to get an unspayed and unneutered pets, be it deaf or hearing. I do know that no rescue groups, foster homes or shelters across the nation will adopt out an animal without having it spayed and neutered because they're very aware of the real and tragic problems affecting our furry friends.

All kind of cats and dogs there are, mixed or purebreed, they are euthanized, including kittens and puppies everyday at shelters. They do not deserve this at all and people contributed to this either by ignorance, selfish reason or greed. It is humans who contribute to the overpopulation of cats/dogs and we need to take the responsibility in spaying and neutering our pets and educating others the importance in doing so. Below are two videos:

Born to die

Multiplying cats

By watching these videos, I hope it will make you realize that when you buy a dog or cat, you kill those that are waiting in the shelter. When you do not fix your dog or cat, their offsprings will be dropped off in shelter too you'll never know about and will not help save these animals in shelter, also waiting for home before their euthansia date.

Do not buy dogs from pet store as they come from puppymill where these dogs are used as breeding machine, living in unsanitary crates forever. The more they see they are not making $$, they'll stop and it's better for the puppy mill dogs. To learn more about puppy mills, go to:

Photos of those rescued from puppy mills, go to: http://www.mlar.org/photo-gallery/intro

Please think about how each one of us, as a human, can help make a difference and save a life. The animals rely on us for our hands/voice. It is with hopes that after this blog, the person or anyone who want an unspayed and unneutered pet will now understand that it means death for infinite of innocent animals.

Pennsylvania is known as the east capital of the Puppy Mills. The issue of puppy mills will be on Oprah's show tomorrow, so tune in to watch! For more information, go to this site:

At this moment, not all of them can be saved but down the road with all of our help other than adoption, foster and rescue. Start with ABC -- Animal Birth Control -- to help end homelessness of animals. A campaign is done by PETA about this at:

Know your ABC's and spread it!

Deaf Blind Cat and a Blind Cat Having a Ball!

If you remember from one of the blog pages with a videoclip about deaf blind dog and blind dog playing. Here's this site of a deaf blind cat with a blind cat. The deaf blind animals (dog and cat) have a similiar behavior as they rely on touch to know where their partner is to continue playing. It melts my heart watching that. Contrary to some people's belief, they do lead a normal life and don't let people tell you otherwise.

Home Needed for Snow in PA at Shelter!

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

Do you have a room in your heart to consider adoption or foster of a deaf dog? I got the email just now.

Can anyone help this sweet dog? She is in a shelter and is deaf.

This sweetheart is Snow and only about 2 years old. She has the most beautiful blue eyes. This sweetie is deaf but don't let her deafness fool you, because she already knows some hand signals and she loves to play. Unfortunately, her former owners could not give her the time she needs.

Snow is an absolute love and she is so sad here at the shelter!!! She doesn't bark when the other dogs do. We are sure she is deaf. She's very calm, gentle.

Just spoke to the shelter: They told me she is so sweet, well behaved, and a love! They are concerned about her.

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=10490265

Do you think that you can find it in your heart to give this doll the loving, caring forever home that she deserves???

If you can help or refer us to someone you can, please call the shelter 570-421-6761 or contact Bev Cramer at beverly111151@verizon.net The shelter is open everyday from 11:30 AM-4 PM. If you can help and cannot reach them, let Bev know.

Deaf Daschund Mix Awaits to be Saved in Nebraska

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

This little dog is deaf, but it doesn't seem to bother her. She's a sweet girl. Please rescue her. All pets adopted from Puppy Love will be wormed and have their shots (except Rabies) before adoption.

I hope one of you can save her by adopting this deaf daschund mix as it is at the pound and time is running out. Or, have your friend in Nebraska adopt for you and then arrange transportation to bring this dog to you whereever you are.
