Angel
|
Adopted
Angel is about 18 months old and a “double
dilute” female rough collie. Her distinctive coloring is the
result of an ill-advised breeding between two merle collies. As is frequently
the case with these
breedings, she unfortunately is deaf and has some sight impairment although she is
not blind. Her
breeder actually gave her to a well-meaning owner but that owner developed a
serious medical issue
and was forced to give Angel to the Southern Arizona Humane Society where at
their request we took
her into our program. Angel is one happy dog and a bundle of energy. She
lives to play and has not
met anybody or dog that was not her immediate friend. We think she would
also be ok with cats and
kids although she might overcome them with her rambunctious nature. She could
definitely benefit from
some obedience training to “rein” her in a little and to teach her
reasonable manners. She is house-
trained. She will be a challenge but well worth the effort.
Angel appears healthy, is spayed,
microchipped, and current on vaccinations

Stella
|
Adopted
Stella is approximately 2 yrs. old. She is deaf,
but has good vision. She knows a few hand signals
and is enrolled in an obedience class where she is doing very well.
Stella gets along with the other
dogs at her foster home, but she does want to be the alpha dog. She
is full of life and is very active.
Stella will need a home where she will get plenty of exercise and needs a
fenced yard to be able to run
and burn off some energy. She also loves walks. When
relaxing, Stella loves to cuddle in your lap.
She likes everyone she meets, but she might have a bit too much energy
for a toddler.
Stella is spayed, current on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, and on
preventative. She is also
micro-chipped. You may fill out an application for Stella at
http://www.rockrescue.petfinder.com.
Stella's adoption fee is $150.
Stella is located in Marion, IN

Bert |
Adopted
Bert, ARPH 10547
Bert was born in LA and
turned into the LA SPCA by a concerned friend of his breeder. This person
took the puppies to the shelter when the breeder stated she was going to
euthanize them because of
their limited vision.
Bert does have some vision loss
but gets around very well. He doesn't startle or become frightened
when he's in a new environment. He happily investigates his new space and
then settles in for some
play time. Bert does have good hearing and responds to verbal commands
very well. Once he hears you,
he will immediately stop and start tracking the air to find you. You can
view Bert’s mobility at this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy2gQ_fnrkI. He is a super kissing
machine and loves to have his belly
rubbed. Bert doesn't like to potty in his crate, and is learning
housetraining.
Here's what Bert's foster home
has to say about him:
"Bert is finally coming out of
his little shell and starting to act like a puppy. He attacks your feet when
you are walking outside and Bert follows Cash around and will
occasionally bite at his feet when they
are both lying down. He has accepted that he will have to eat dry food
too, and has taken to attacking
that as ferociously as he does the wet food. He still seems a bit
underweight, but we are working on that.
He has picked out 3 spots around the house that he will pass out in and 1
spot where he goes to when
he wants to "fight" with his nemesis the window curtain drawstring. He
even hops around and barks at
it every once in a while, which is the only noise I have heard out of
him."
A fenced yard is a requirement
for those adopting Bert. It will also be really nice if he had a sighted
companion to help lead him. However, he also seems to do just fine on his
own, enjoying gardening
with his foster family for hours on end. He is fostered in Atlanta, GA
and adopters must travel to
meet/adopt him, he will not be shipped or transported out of state.
Approved adopters may contact Kim
Johnson at
savaussies@comcast.net.
Bert is
located in Atlanta, GA

 Dot
|
Adopted
Hi there! Just wanted to give an update on the puppy.
After having her with me for a couple of weeks
now, I know her a little bit better. She doesn’t really have a name
because she can’t hear me anyway.
I have noticed that she does have some eyesight in her left eye.
The right eye is so small right now
that the third eyelid is blocking her eyeball from view. She has the same
problem in her left eye, but in
the evenings, or when the light is dim, it seems to be more uncovered. So
much so that you can see
her whole eye. It is crystal blue. So pretty! The vet says that maybe
when she grows her condition
will improve. If not, we may consider later if surgery is possible. I
have started her on her shots. She
gets her second set on June 19th, then the third later on. She was born
on 04/18/06, so is now 8
weeks old and weighs 10.5 lbs. She has a short stature and is very
muscular/stocky.
Very cute!
She has a ¾ length of a tail. When she walks around and when excited it
sticks straight up in the air.
It is so funny. She has some tan markings down her back and it extends
down her right front leg but
stops short of her foot. She has become more playful, a whole lot more
playful with other dogs. She
is calm and plays gently with people though. She steers clear of my cats.
When she smells them,
she just goes the other way. She is really good about getting around both
inside the house and in the
front and backyard. When she is in the front I stay with her since there
is no fence.
She has responded well to touch signals. Although, I am not good about
being consistent.
Most of the time, I just end up picking her up and putting her where I
want her. She really needs
a good home. Someone she can bond with for a lifetime. And someone
who has the time to devote
to her that she so desperately needs. I just have my hands full already
and it is not fair to her. Plus,
I don’t want to get attached. That will just make it harder for me to
give her up.
Please someone out there help me to help her!!! I have lots of pictures,
so just email me and I will
be happy to forward you some. If you live in Texas or close by, I will
consider traveling to let you meet
her, if you want. We can meet half way or work something out.
If you are interested in Dot, please contact
Stefanie at
sdm2247@sbcglobal.net
Dot is located north of Dallas, TX.

yr old, blue merle, neutered male Australian Shepherd. Tye does well with

smaller male. Tye is DEAF and needs an owner with a fenced yard that is
willing to work with him.

deaf and suffers from some vision loss.
She doesn't let any of this slow her down though! She loves to play and
wrestle with her foster buddies.
She very submissive and gets along with both males and females. She also
loves trying to play with
the cats and kittens in her foster home, but gives up quickly and is
content just to watch them play.
She's crate-trained, although she really does not care for being crated.
She's working on house-training
and is almost there.
She's incredibly sweet, affectionate, and gentle.Bindi adores her foster
mom and
chooses/needs to be with her whenever possible! She even tries to hang
out in the shower or bath with
her foster mom! Bindi is well-behaved by her own doing, but could
benefit from some training for
communication sake. She's a great girl that has no idea she's any
different from other dogs.

Aylen |
Adopted
Hello, my name is Aylen. I am
about 12 weeks old. Last Tuesday Pima Animal Control (PACC)
placed me on the euthanasia list because I was very thin and feeling
sick. I was in a kennel all by
myself.
The kind souls at S.A.F.E.
(Saving Animals From Euthanasia) happened to have a Foster
that had room for another animal. They came down and couldn't resist how
cute I was and took me
to my new Foster home. My Foster Mom was so excited to meet me. I had a
big secret, and it wasn't
long before my Foster Mom found out what it was. She took me outside to
go potty, and figured out
that I was blind. She scooped me up and held me close and told me
everything is going to be okay.
Then, I met her two young dogs and we played tug-o-war. I may be little,
but I was able to keep up
with the big dogs. That night I was given my own warm bed and it was so
comfortable I slept through
the night. The next day I went to the Vet and she said that I have an
upper respiratory infection and gave
me medicine to get me better. She also checked my vision and determined
that I have very limited
vision. However, my hearing is really good. Since then, I have been
enjoying my warm bed, new
sisters, and loving Mommy. I am starting to gain some much needed weight,
learning my way around
the house and yard, and the antibiotics seem to be helping me get well.
As soon as I get better, I will
be ready to find my forever home.
Maybe you could be my new forever family :) Can I come home with you and
be your faithful dog?
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Dancer
|
Adopted
Dancer is a little pup who has faced
daunting circumstances with unbelievable spirit. Born
completely blind and deaf, she spent her first 3 months living in a 6x8
outside kennel full of mud and
feces, drinking rainwater from a bucket and sharing limited food with 5
littermates. Despite this, Dancer
thinks life is great! She greets everything with utter delight--dancing
with joy and showering kisses.
Dancer is a 14 week old (as of Jan. 26th) female, Australian Shepherd
puppy with a full tail. Pure
Aussie, Dancer has lots of energy and thrives on action. She is a
curious, outgoing pup, who enjoys
typical puppy activities like running about, carrying toys, chewing
sticks, romping with other dogs,
cuddling and petting. She explores new environments with interest;
sometimes barking and spinning
until she orients herself (a behavior sometimes seen among deaf/blind
dogs) but quickly "mapping out"
her space. Dancer is crate trained, working on housebreaking and
learning touch signals for basic
commands. She has been de-wormed, has her rabies vaccine and is on
schedule with her puppy shots.
Dancer would do best in a home that would include her in their daily
activities--taking her on walks,
playing in the yard, teaching her tricks. Dancer needs a home with a
traditionally fenced yard, and
due to her special needs, should not be placed with small children. She
would benefit from another
canine companion in the household.
Blind and deaf dogs can lead full and happy lives and give their owners'
all the love and devotion they
could possibly ask for. There are many resources available to people
with dogs with special needs.
Interested adopters are asked to refer to these web sites for further
information before requesting
application.

Flurry |
Adopted
Flurry's short life is a remarkable story of overcoming challenges. Born
functionally blind and deaf,
she spent her first 3 months of life outside in a 6x8 kennel full of mud
and poop, drinking rain water from
a bucket and sharing limited food with 5 littermates.
Now in a foster home, Flurry is blossoming daily! She is a sweet and
gentle 14 week old
(as of Jan. 26th), Australian Shepherd puppy, who enjoys all the things
any pup does--exploring the
yard, chewing bones, playing with toys, tug of war, romping with other
pups, being petted and playing,
playing, playing! Flurry finds her way capably around her environment
and is learning touch signals for
basic commands such as sit and down. She is crate trained and making
progress with house training.
Flurry loves human contact and is happiest being petted, sitting on
your lap or lying on the floor resting
against your feet.
Flurry is a bit tentative in new situations and would prefer a quieter
home with a predictable routine.
However, being a typical Aussie, she will need plenty of exercise and
mental stimulation. Flurry needs
a home with a traditionally fenced yard, and due to her special needs,
should not be placed with small
children. She would benefit from another canine companion in the
household. Blind and deaf dogs can
lead full and happy lives and give their owners' all the love and
devotion they could possibly ask for.

Digory
|
Adopted
Digory is a 14 week old (as of Jan.26th), male, Australian Shepherd with
a tail. Digory is a very,
very sweet and affectionate little guy. Slightly cautious when meeting
new people, or in new situations,
his curious and loving nature quickly take over and he begins to eagerly
explore and merrily greet.
Digory's all white coloring comes from being the product of a merle to
merle breeding. Unfortunately,
this combination can cause hearing and vision problems. In Digory's case
he cannot hear at all.
His vision is quite functional, although he may not see well in the
distance. Digory is really just like any
other puppy though. He loves to play, chase balls that are rolled for
him, tug, wrestle with other pups,
and cuddle, cuddle, cuddle! He is a smart little fellow and is already
learning hand signals for sit and
down. Digory is crate trained and making good progress in his
housebreaking. He sleeps quietly through
the night in his crate with no accidents. Digory has been de-wormed, has
a rabies vaccine and the
appropriate vaccinations for a puppy his age.
Digory is being fostered in Connecticut. Interested adopters need to
complete an application which
can be requested by e-mail. If you do not have previous experience with
a deaf dog, please read the

Melvin

Adopted
Private Rescue --
I just arrived so not a lot is known about me but in the short time I
have been here my foster mom can
tell I am a very sweet Aussie guy. So far I have chased moths out in the
yard and have found some nice
shoe strings that look like fun. I will start learning how to be a good
puppy here with crate training,
housetraining, and some commands. I will come all vetted and my neuter
appointment is scheduled for
September 25th.
I should be well on my way to being a good puppy citizen by then. I have
three foster brothers
here (doggy) to teach me the ropes.
On examination it was found that I do have some potential vision problems
that may cause me not to
see but right now I am doing fine. I will require a fenced yard, no
children under 12,and someone who
is willing to learn about a pup who may become vision handicapped to keep
me safe. You must come
to meet me, no shipping, an application is required and an adoption fee.

Nicholas
|
Adopted
Hi my name is Nicolas and I am one of the most loved
dogs in the world. I am about 2 years old
and I was found wandering around the highway 6 months ago. I was cold,
scared, and miserable.
But, then I came into fostercare. I currently reside with two adults,
twin ten-year olds, my foster families’
dog, and 1-3 other foster dogs.
I love living with everyone. I love the attention, the belly-rubs, having
a yard to run in during the day,
being with other dogs, a home with kids that love me and adults working
hard on training me to be
the very best dog I can be. I am pretty well trained too. I am 100%
housebroken and I ring a bell to go
outside. I am also crate trained. I sleep in a crate by myself at night,
which is around 9 pm. I know basic
commands, and I am very eager to please. One of my favorite activities is
playing fetch.
I am amazingly athletic and I could be an excellent agility dog. I am a
big love to all people, big and
small. I love to crawl up on the couch beside you, if you tell me it is
OK. I have quite good manners,
especially walking on a leash (though I may fuss a small amount sometimes
when other dogs pass
by, but again most of the time I can keep walking by). I love dogs that I
have gotten the chance to know.
However, I’m not so keen on a perfect stranger walking up and sniffing
me. Once I have gotten to know
them I’m okay, but with a stranger I just find it plain rude. Although, I
love it when strange humans walk
up to me and tell me how pretty I am. But, that’s different. I am great
with veterinarians and other people
poking and prodding me. I just sometimes get stressed around unfamiliar
dogs. But, like I said I love
dogs I have had the chance to get to know. My foster family loves me a
ton and they are hoping for a
perfect forever home for me with people that get Aussies who can help me
keep growing into that
'perfect' dog they believe I am. I'm hoping for a forever home with a 4
legged companion, lots of space,
maybe some medium sized kids and someone willing to work with my
strengths (agility, obedience, etc)
while convincing me I am loved.
If you would like to adopt me please fill out an application and come
meet me!
If you are interested in giving Nicholas a loving forever home, please

Doc
|
Adopted
Hi, everybody! My name is
Doc. I am a 16 week old aussie puppy and I was born blind. Somehow
my brother and I got away and nice lady named Carol found us in the road
near Beebe, Arkansas.
She took us home and my brother, who is not blind, got a home, but it
seems nobody wanted me.
Carol had so many other dogs that she found out about Jeff and Linda that
already have a dog like
me, only deaf too, so now I live with them. I hear real good and they
keep calling me a love-bug. I like
to get in their lap and give puppy kisses. I do love my family and want
to be as close to them as

without so many dogs. I have
been neutered and have all my shots and am nearly housebroken. I am
learning the leash and how
to climb stairs.

Elliot

Adopted
I'm special because I'm deaf! Most white & blue
merle aussies with pink noses and blue eyes are
deaf. I will need some patience and training so I can be a good
dog. I'm friendly and energetic,

signals. Does that sound like
fun for you?
If so, email my foster mom at

docked tail. She is up to date on vaccinations and
being maintained on heartworm prevention.
Liberty has a very spunky and endearing personality, and loves new

Liberty is a result of merle colored dog being bred to another merle, and
as a result, she is deaf.
Her foster Mom is working with her on learning sign commands. However,
it's easy to forget that
Liberty is deaf, she certainly missed that memo. She's just like any
typical Aussie pup, full of excitement
and intelligence.

Jersey |
Adopted
Jersey is in need of a new home. The following
is the information we received from her current owner.
Jersey is a little over a year old, blind in one
eye (deformed) and totally deaf. She is a blue merle.
We were told when we adopted her from a shelter here in Idaho that she
was kept by an Aussie breeder,
because her daughter felt sorry for her. She slept on beds and loves
kids. Unfortunately, she would get
attacked by other dogs because when she played, she could not hear when
the other dog had growled,
warning the play was over. Jersey has been very playful with our other
dog, a Cane Corso Mastiff.
Our Mastiff just takes it, and when she is done playing, walks away.
Jersey also loves our cat. She will
run after it, and they play. The cat will bat at her, bite her head, and
Jersey just sits their like its a
huge show of affection from the cat. Then Jersey licks the cat. She loves
to herd, although didn't know
what to think about the cattle we introduced her to the other day. Jersey
loves all people, and will let
anyone in your home. She knows NO strangers !!! :) She is housebroke,
sleeps all night beside the bed,
or on it if you invite her. We have taught her hand signals, and responds
to sit, down, stay (sometimes),
away, and will usually follow your hand directions. We stomp the floor to
get her attention, and then she
looks eagerly for directions. She is a great dog. Very loving, very
affectionate. She lays in your lap
while watching tv, and follows you from room to room. She is spayed and
micro-chipped.
Jersey is located in Caldwell, Idaho
Please contact
deanak@amazingaussies.com if you are interested in providing
Jersey with a forever home.

Lilah
|
Adopted
Lilah is a double merle (red) female that was
rescued from a shelter. Our vet's estimate is that
she was probably born February, 2006. She has good vision and hearing,
although not 100%.
Lilah is friendly, outgoing, and she has a spunky personality. She loves
being with people, and is
doing great in the house. She is good about going outside to potty. Lilah
plays and gets along with
all the other dogs. Due to Lilah's vision and hearing impairment, a
secure fenced yard is required.
Lilah is eager to please and learn, so obedience training would be
something I think she will do
great with. Lilah has been spayed, is current on all of her vaccinations,
wormed, heartworm negative
and on preventative, and also microchipped.
If you think your home is a good choice for Lilah, and you have the time
to give to her, please fill

Nic |
Adopted
ARPH 9327
Nicolai (Nic) is an
eight year old blue merle male. Nic earned his name after being rescued from
the
shelter in the nic of time! Nic is a light heartworm positive and getting
ready to start his treatment soon.
He also has cataracts but does have vision in one eye. He gets around
fine but he does bump into things
at times. Despite what one might look at as obstacles, they don't appear
to bother Nic at all, he is a
happy go lucky boy. His favorite thing is to go for car rides, he will
jump right in always ready to go! He
also loves to be a velcro dog right under his foster home's feet. He
enjoys attention and is just one of the
Aussies you enjoy having around.
He is well mannered
in the house and is good with other dogs. He is friendly with people he
meets and
great at the vet clinic. Nic is one of those social boys who enjoys
attention and loves to share his
affection.
Many people over look older dogs but adopting an older dog has many
benefits, a bit more laid back,
none of the chewing and they show lots of appreciation of having a new
home.
If you want to sponsor
Nic during his heartworm treatment please go to the ARPH support page at
www.aussierescue.org. Please
make sure it is marked for Nic ARPH 9327. Nic will be ready for
adoption around the end of October. Be sure to watch the site for updates.

Shiloh |
Adopted
BLIND SHILOH. FREE AT LAST. LOOKING FOR FOREVER HOME.
My name is Shiloh. I am a blind, 7-year-old Aussie. I am not a “lethal
white,” but sometimes other
Aussies have bad problems with their eyes, too. I have to say that my
first seven years weren't so
wonderful – and that’s an understatement. Most of those years were
spent in a tiny grooming crate
in a vet's office, with very little human or canine contact. I ended up
there as a very young dog because
my first owners brought me in, telling the vet to put me to sleep after
they learned I had glaucoma.
She didn't, and instead gave me to some people who would keep me for
awhile, bring me back, take
me again, and bring me back, until finally I was forgotten, left in my
little cage, my once-beautiful eyes
becoming demon-red and blind. The vet didn’t know what to do with my
eyes, but she didn’t have the
heart to put me down, either. So there I stayed. Then one day, a lady
with a local rescue happened to
come to the vet and saw me. We touched hearts, and she determined to get
me out of there.
For months, she sent email after email, until finally a family in
northwest Arkansas heard about me and
lots of wonderful people helped transport me from Tennessee to their
home. At first, I didn’t know what
to do with my freedom. But I have learned to run, to play, to feel the
wind and sunshine on my face, to
stretch out and sleeeeeeeeeep, and to eat ice cream! Without the stress
of living in the crate, my
glaucoma is no longer getting any worse, but I will need to see a vet
regularly for follow-ups.
As wonderful as my foster home is, I still need
a forever family. If you take me into your home, I promise
to love you for the rest of my life. Shiloh would do best in a home with
no cats.

Rex |
Adopted
Rex is 8-12 months old, and
weighs about 44 lbs.
Meet one of the
sweetest, gentlest, loving dogs ever. Rex is that special dog who shows
everyone
what real love from a dog is all about. To say that Rex is dependent on
his human parents because
he is partially blind and deaf, is to miss the point. Rex is such a great
dog and gives you so much
that whatever you do for him makes you feel better. Once you meet Rex and
take him for a walk, you
will realize his trust as he walks confidently with you, trusting you
almost immediately. When you stop,
he will sit on your lap and try to crawl under your skin to show you how
much he appreciates your
guidance and love. When you see Rex from a distance, you will be struck
by his beauty; his white
and merle coloring and his general appearance are a work of art.
He was found in a park and the shelter director, who absolutely adores
Rex, called HART to have us
try to place him in a home where he would receive the love and protection
he so richly deserves. Can
you commit to being Rex's parents and turn around a dog's life? Rex has
undergone surgery on his
eyes, and is already showing some improvement in his sight. He has
responded quite well to eye
drops that his foster mom is giving him. Rex is very playful and gets
along beautifully with his foster
siblings and, I'm told by the foster mom, learned where the door to go
outside is located in one day.
Rex seems very smart and eager to learn.
Rex is with HART, Homeless
Animals Rescue Team @ www.hart90.com
If you are interested in
adopting Rex, please contact Lisa @
LDDiaz@ cox.net or visit the
HART website.

**new
pictures of Helen**
Helen
|
Adopted
Helen is a 5-month-old deaf and blind Aussie mix
(looks like there is some greyhound in there).
She is in a bit of a pickle (meaning this is sort of an EMERGENCY as of
July 14, 2006).
Here’s the scoop.
Helen was transported in June from Texas to Little Rock, AR to an
apparently well-qualified adopter
(she had another deaf-and-blind Aussie, among other things). However, it
took less than a month
before she decided she was unable to handle Helen and she had Helen
picked up by the town
SHELTER.
Fortunately, a Good Samaritan, who, like me, is named Kim, has rescued
Helen from the shelter,
but she already has about a dozen foster dogs in her home, and took Helen
only because I PROMISED
I would do my best to find her another safe haven ASAP. So I am keeping
my promise.
According to her foster mom, the operative word for Helen seems to be
SMART. She was started
on touch training yesterday, and already seems to just about understand
“Sit”. She can tell when
her rescuer approaches the gate to the kitchen, and runs to greet her (I
told the “other” Kim these
dogs have a remarkable sense of smell and she must smell like LOVE).
Helen also gets along just
fine with her children. She does spin, but less so since even in
the one day she has been kept
uncrated in a gated-in kitchen. The animal control officer who picked
Helen up reported that Helen
had been kept in a crate which was too small for her, a common cause of
compulsive spinning in
deaf-and-blind dogs.
If you are a rescue, or with a rescue, or a forever home for Helen,
please contact one of us Kims:
Me, Kim K, at krk929@
aol.com or Kim O at
btrfly3371@
fanforce.net.
Helen is currently in Hot Springs, AR. But transportation can be arranged
just about ANYWHERE.

Orlandi
Scarlet
|
Adopted
Orlandi and
Scarlet are Double Merle Australian Shepherd
puppies. What does Double Merle mean?
It means that a breeder tried to mate two Merle Australian Shepherds
which inevitably creates some
offspring that are all white, deaf and blind. Orlandi and her sister
Scarlet were thrown in a dumpster with
their other sister Gucci because they were of no monetary value to the
breeder. Luckily an Apache
Junction animal care and control officer found the three pups and took
them to safety. Paw Placement
was able to step in and place them with some wonderful foster families
until they were ready for
adoption. Orlandi is a friendly and loving companion animal but she has special
needs because of her
blind and deaf conditions.
Orlandi and Scarlet have been living in the same foster home and are very
attached to each other.
Orlandi is strong and active. Scarlet had a rough start but seems to be
getting better each day.
Both girls are learning touch training. Orlandi will come and sit on
command, Scarlet will come. Her
foster mom is waiting for her to get a little stronger before making her
sit on command. As for potty
training, they prefer to go outside if possible and will run to the door.
They are both happy in their crate
at night and will sleep through the night if they are together. Their
foster mommy thinks it would be in
their best interest to stay together if at all possible. Not only are
they hard to separate but it is
DEFINITELY easier with two than just one, they tend to keep each other
occupied when you have
something else going on and they have a really close bond.
Orlandi loves car rides and will sit in her bag and chew her bones.
Scarlet isn't such a huge fan but if
she is with Gucci, she is okay. In a nutshell, they are both adorable,
well behaved puppies. They
definitely need stability and to learn their forever home so they are
comfortable running and jumping.
Orlandi is definitely a firecracker and is an absolute goof ball. Scarlet is a bit
more trepidatious but still
loves to play. She just needs more patience than Orlandi but is an absolute love
bug. Scarlet waits for
the world to come to her and Orlandi waits for no man. Please fill out that
online application if you want
to meet Orlandi and/or Scarlet. The more info you include about yourself the
better!
A note from Paw Placement:
Orlandi and Scarlet could easily be a 12, 13 or 14 year commitment on
your part. They are NOT
disposable for any reason like you moving, getting married, having
babies, getting divorced or any
perceived “inconvenience” you may develop with regards to Orlandi and
Scarlet. You must be able to
commit unconditionally to Orlandi and/or Scarlet for the rest of her life
and agree work with a Paw
Placement approved trainer. For additional information on double
merles, (sometimes also called
Lethal Whites) you can also visit
www.aussielads.com or
www.lethalwhites.com.
Orlandi and
Scarlet are with
www.pawplacement.org in Scottsdale, AZ.

 Shadow

Update: Shadow has been rescued and is safe
SOME THOUGHTS FROM SHADOW, A LETHAL WHITE AUSSIE IN TN
“I am so scared. I am so alone. I don’t know where I am. I am only 8
months old, and can’t hear
anything and I can only see out of one eye, and not so well at that. I
can see that doggie door however,
and I know to go out of it to do my business. I don’t want to mess up my
new home. I guess it is my
new home. The people are nice but the other day they came to take me
somewhere. I didn’t know
where they wanted to take me. So I flopped down on my stomach and
wouldn’t move. They picked me
up and took me into a room and took my picture. I put my nose to the
floor and sniffed. I was a little
cautious about moving around but I did manage to do some exploring. The
people were really nice.
I felt good with them. I wanted to wind myself around their legs. It gave
me a good secure feeling.
When they took me back to my kennel, I cried. I am so scared. I am so
alone....”
This sweet boy is in a shelter in Kingsport, TN. If you can give him a
home, or know someone in rescue
who can take him in to their program, please contact Chris at

Comet
|
Adopted
Comet is a cute, playful youngster. We do not know his
breed mixes. He is a bit short and long and his
head is somewhat narrow with a long thin muzzle. He is small and
probably will not grow much more.
He has beautiful blue eyes! A checkup with the doggy ophthalmologist in
August 2006 showed no major
vision problems. He is an Australian Shepherd/ Border collie mix
that is 1 yr old and weighs 25 lbs.
Comet enjoys playing with dogs (he has two foster siblings) and sometimes
"digs" or chases imaginary
things for entertainment. He lives with a cat in his foster home. He
enjoys car rides (has thrown up a time
or two, when younger). Comet is sometimes shy on meeting new people, but
he warms up and enjoys
the attention. Comet is crate-trained and housetrained--with occasional
accidents if he gets distracted
by play.
Although Comet doesn't act or feel "impaired," he is deaf and will
require a home willing to accomodate
his needs. You don't have to be "special" to love and care for a deaf
pup. We have resources on training
and living with deaf dogs and will provide support to his adopters.
See the Deaf Dog Education Action Fund (DDEAF)
for lots of helpful information.
Comet is neutered, current on vaccinations, on heartworm prevention, and
has been microchipped

Luci |
Adopted
Luci is a double blue merle who is deaf and has
some visual impairments. Her most recent check-up at
the opthalmologist in October 2005 showed that her vision is still
good, but she needs to be monitored
on the progress of some cataracts. Luci is 1/6 years old and weighs 35
lbs.
Luci was dumped in a neighborhood as a small puppy. One day, a family's
two dogs started barking,
and when the lady of the house went to the door to see what was up, Luci
just walked in! She made
herself at home and the family's Corgi puppy was immediately her best
friend. Now a year later, the two
puppies have matured and are no longer getting along so well.
Both dogs believe there is only room in the family for one of them. The
family has worked with their trainer,
who also recommends that Luci find a new home. Her family is sad
and has delayed this tough decision,
but recognize that it is best for the happiness of all.
Luci likes to run and bark in the backyard at squirrels and birds and the
neighbor dog. She generally plays
with and gets along with other dogs. She shows interest in and
occasionally runs after the cats in her
current home, but she has never hurt one and they don't seem
terribly worried about her.
Luci has been through training and knows basic commands via sign
language. She does need additional
practice. She loves to sit under chairs and just spend time with
her people. She likes to chase a ball and
enjoys chewing on sturdy chew toys and bones. She occasionally
exhibits some mild herding behavior

Jersey |
Adopted
JERSEY
Jersey was surrendered to the shelter due to irresponsible breeding. You
see, Jersey is deaf, and
because of that she was considered unwanted and not valuable. Well, here
at the shelter we see
an exuberant, friendly and silly dog that deserves the same loving home
as any of our other dogs.
While Jersey may not be able to hear, she is excellent about staying with
you when you take her
for a walk, and is learning hands commands quickly. She loves to play
with other dogs, and is good
with cats as well. In fact, we’re pretty sure that Jersey doesn’t know
she is any different from any of
the other dogs. This girl will need a special home that is dedicated to
the needs of a deaf dog.
She cannot be off leash anywhere near a road, and must have a fenced yard
to keep her secure.
Jersey is very eager to learn, and while she may have to learn differently
than your average dog,
with her intelligence, it won’t be a hard task. If you are interested in
learning more about this girl,
or if you already have a handicapped dog and would like to add another to
your family, be sure to
meet Jersey, she is an all around great dog.
If you are interested in adopting Jersey, please send an email to
info@animalshelterwrv.org
Jersey is located in Hailey, Idaho at the
Animal Shelter of Wood River
Valley

Shelly
|
Adopted
Shelly is about an eight month old beautiful female
sheltie. She is a little shy. As would be expected
given her age adopters will need to watch that she does not get into
“trouble”. She has a lot of potential
but will definitely need training (including fine-tuning her
housetraining). Her coloring is the result of an
ill-advised breeding of two merle shelties. These breedings often result
in deaf and/or blind dogs and
Shelly appears to be neither. We expect that she will be fine particularly
with older kids that can respect
her initial shyness. She is fine with other dogs and we suspect she will
be fine with cats.
Shelly is current on her shots, licensed, and will be spayed and
microchipped before placement.
Persons interested in getting more information on Shelly or adopting her
should contact Bill of the
Mid-Arizona Shetland Sheepdog Club Rescue at 480-507-7996 or
bkferrell@cox.net. An application
will be required and an adoption fee charged.

Rudy
|
Adopted
Rudy ARPH 9137
Rudy is a precious 12 week old blue merle Aussie with a tail. Rudy is
truly a miraculous puppy.
Rudy's miracles first began with him surviving life on the streets. You
see Rudy is an Aussie resulting
from a merle to merle dog breeding. This means he's extra special in that
he is deaf. It's amazing he
was able to stay alive considering he can't hear dangers a lost puppy
would encounter every day on
the street. To find out more about training deaf dogs, please visit the
Deaf Dog Website.
His second miracle came when he survived an attack by another dog at some
point before finding
his way to animal control. He had some seriously infected puncture wounds
on his ear and neck.
Rudy's third miracle came when we stumbled upon him while evaluating
another dog at the animal
control facility where he was brought in as a stray. It was obvious this
little pup needed medical treatment
right away, and we delivered him to the hospital straight from the
shelter.
Rudy will need to stay in foster care for the next two to three weeks
while he's recovering from his
injuries. He is up to date on his vaccinations and has started his
heartworm prevention.
Rudy is looking for one last miracle. A loving home that will keep him
safe from the heartbreak and
neglect he's known in his short life, a fenced yard to keep him safe, and
another doggie companion to
help lead him.
If you can give Rudy that miracle, please fill out an
application today.
Rudy is located in Kennesaw, GA.
Approved adopters may contact Rachael Eley at

Gucci |
Adopted
Gucci is a Double Merle
Australian Shepherd puppy. What does Double Merle mean? It means that a
breeder tried to mate two Merle Australian Shepherds which inevitably
creates some offspring that are
all white, deaf and blind. Gucci and her two sisters, Orlandi and
Scarlet, were thrown in a dumpster
because they were of no monetary value to the breeder. Luckily an Apache
Junction animal care and
control officer found the three pups and took them to safety. Paw
Placement was able to step in and
place them with some wonderful foster families until they were ready for
adoption. Gucci is a friendly
and loving companion animal but she has special needs because of her
blind and deaf conditions.
She is responsive to touch training and has had some lessons. She remains
very active and will need
a family that can work with professionals experienced with these types of
dogs to teach her social skills
and manners. She might also do well in a home with another dog that can
see and hear to provide her
some guidance. Gucci is good with both cats and dogs. She is
spayed, current on shots, and
micro- chipped.
Please fill out that online application if you want to meet Gucci. The
more info you include about yourself
the better! A note from Paw Placement: Gucci could easily be a 12, 13 or
14 year commitment on your
part. She is NOT disposable for any reason like you moving, getting
married, having babies, getting
divorced or any perceived “inconvenience” you may develop with regards to
Gucci. You must be able to
commit unconditionally to Gucci for the rest of his life and agree work
with a Paw Placement trainer.
For additional information on double merles, (sometimes also called
Lethal Whites) you can also visit
www.aussielads.com or
www.lethalwhites.com.
Gucci is with

Shellie
|
Adopted
Shellie is a blue merle female Aussie around 2 years
old that is looking for a new home. She is spayed,
on heartworm and flea medication and walks well on leash. Her
vaccinations will need to be updated.
She has a natural (undocked) tail and weighs about 45 pounds.
Shellie was found as a stray and now is looking for a new home due to
illness in her current household.
Her owners hate to give her up, but they just do not have the resources
or time to care for her.
Shellie is good with cats, children, and loves other dogs. She is
obviously from a double merle breeding,
however she does not appear to have any vision or hearing loss. She does
require sunscreen for her
nose when she is outside to avoid sunburn. Shellie is what we would call
a “Lucky Lethal” because she
can see and hear.
This is a very special dog looking for a loving home that has the time to
devote to her.
Please contact
Rachel Ely
for more information. Shellie is located in Conyers, GA.

in one eye and is
missing a leg. He was hit by a car and had his leg repaired and gets
around fine. His owner can
no longer keep him and he is getting out and has run into traffic several
times she must find a new
home for him quickly. He is neutered and transport help can be arranged.
Boo is a friendly loving boy but the owner does not have the time for him
and will turn him into a
local shelter soon if no one takes him, which will mean certain death for
him.

Kellen
|
Adopted
Kellen is a 3 month old australian cattle dog mix.
Kellen was discovered in a shelter and is
being fostered in a private home by her rescuer.
She has beautiful blue eyes, and very unique markings. Kellen is deaf and
has a very minor vision
impairment, I think its her peripheral vision that is limited. I
think she would do great with an older,
more mature dog that could act as her playmate and guardian. She
needs a good strong
home, preferably someone who has raised a deaf dog before.
She loves to follow my great dane mix around everywhere and Lola acts like
she's her baby.
Kellen is neutered, updated shots except rabies (because she has to be
four months old)
micro-chipped and all.
f you would like to make Kellen a part of your
family, please contact Alexis @

Joy
|
Adopted
This is puppy. She was found abandoned in the
street. She almost got run over because she
would run towards the human faces in the cars. She has never met a
living thing she didn't
want to play with.
She is so smart and follows the other dog's lead so well , that I didn't
realize at first that she was deaf!
She doesn't really have a name, but if I had to name her, I'd call her
Joy because that is what she
exudes. Puppy enjoys playing in the yard, she likes to explore,
dig, and chase bugs. She loves kids
and other pets.
A perfect home for her would be a family with a
fenced backyard, a hearing dog to guide her, and
maybe some kids to play with. She's a handful and has to be
watched, but she's doing great on
housebreaking and is learning sign language. She can see, but only
about 6 feet.
She has the happiest disposition ever. I
hope someone will give her a name and a forever home.
If you are interested in adopting Joy, please
contact Stephanie.

Joy is located in Las Vegas, NV.

with my other dogs and kids.
She would make a wonderful agility dog, or just a great pet for an active
family. I would like to see her
in a family with other dogs as she learns so much from watching them, and
she loves the company. If you are
interested in making Brandy a part of your family, please email

has been taken
care of. She has had one round of shots, and her vaccinations will
continue on a
scheduled basis until they are current. She will be spayed and
microchipped also
before leaving rescue, unless someone wants to adopt her before she is
old enough
to be spayed, then we want a contract. Tess gets along with all the dogs
in the foster
home she is currently in. She sees and hears, so thankfully there is no
disability there.

Chance
|
Adopted
Chance is approximately
10 wks old. Please read his story below:
3/6 - The first
Saturday of every month we go to a local Horse Tack Auction--as
planned we
went last night--and upon arrival I spotted a pen holding 2
Aussie pups--I went over just to look
(who can resist an Aussie pup>? LOL) anyway I noticed a double
merle in the pen--immediately
picked him up and checked for signs of hearing loss (he's deaf)
my husband walked up and told
me to "put down the Aussie"---then he walked up beside me and
saw what I was holding----he
also immediately clapped his hands above
the pups head without a flinch from him. A lady
walked up with her daughter--glanced at the red
merle--then looked at the double merle in my
arms--and asked if I was going to take it home---I told
her we were thinking about it---she just
stood there, her daughter told her she wanted the red
merle in the pen------her mothers answer
to her sealed that the double was coming home with
me----she told her daughter no she couldn't
have the red merle because they had a blue merle at home and
she wanted the blue I was holding
to BREED to her female at home. I explained that this
pup was a "lethal white" who was by
my investigations deaf and had a deformed eye----I also
tried to tell her about merle to merle
breeding and she told me basically that I was
stupid--that she had had her female for 2 years
and she had never heard of such a thing. I looked at
her in disbelief and my husband said,
"I'm going to get the check book this boys coming
home". We both figured we could work with
rescues and find this boy a home. We are located in
Virginia.
We have
had the pup, whom we have dubbed "Chance", home for about 10 hours
now--he slept
crated last night with walks every 2-3 hours. He is
extremely playful. He can see--my horse vet
is coming out tomorrow and she is also a small animal
vet so I will have her take a look at Chance.
He seems to have no hearing at all. I am going to
attach a couple of pics of him.
Update 3/10:
Chance is doing very will with potty training and has not had any
accidents in the
house. He also loves being around the kids.
How fortunate for
Chance and any of those puppies that may have been born, this
wonderful
couple happened by!

interested in adopting Chance, please contact:

Roma
Rory
|
Adopted
Roma ARPH 8690
Rory ARPH 8691
These 2
siblings were turned into the shelter by their owners after they turned up
heartworm positive.
They are just over a year old and very bonded to each other.
They have both completed heartworm
treatments are are ready for new homes.
Roma is a red merle female and is deaf. She is outgoing and
loving, she is the dog that gives her
brother confidence. She is a quick learner and readily
crates. She is friendly and easy going.
Rory is a red merle with a split factor.
He is a bit shyer than his sister and depends on her to lead
him even though he is the hearing dog. Rory is a bit of a
barker and loves to watch out for his sister.
They love to run and play together. Both are very athletic
and can easily jump a 4 ft fence. They are
crate trained and housebroken. They would be good agility
candidates and we would like to place
them in a home together...where the 2 of them would be much easier
than just 1 dog.
If you are interested in adopting this
pair, please contact
Kim Johnson at
savaussies@comcast.net or call 912-572-3045.
Roma and Rory are located in the Savannah

girl. She has no hearing, but decent vision
right now. Her left eye is substantially small, but we think
she has most
of her vision in her right eye. She is natural, with a tail
and dew-claws.
She was found wandering in a busy street and picked up by the
pound. She
was to be put down since no one claimed her. She is
currently in our care
as a foster dog. She is very outgoing, very feisty and gets
along great
with all our kids.
She is VERY high functioning and like all Aussies, too smart for
her own
good.
We are still working on house training (she thinks it's cool to go
on the
stairs where it is difficult to get her quickly), but she is crate
trained
and makes a very little fuss.

little girl, please contact:

AnaLucia
|
Adopted
ARPH: 8654
Ana-Lucia was rescued from a high kill North Georgia Shelter with
her mother and 7 siblings.
Ana-Lucia (Lola as her foster home calls her) is our special needs
puppy of the litter. You see
she is deaf and has a starburst pupil in one eye which sometimes can
mean that there is
vision impairment. But don't let this fool you, Ana-Lucia is full of
personality and isn't shy about
making her wants and needs known! She loves playing with the other dogs in
her foster home,
especially the other deaf Aussie. Ana will need a fenced in yard to protect
her from her own
curiosity and another doggie to help lead her. Deaf dogs are not dumb, and
training them is
just as easy as a hearing dog.
For more information on living with one
of these wonderful pets, please visit
www.deafdogs.org.
Ana-Lucia is a beautiful red merle with a full tail and gorgeous
crystal blue eyes. She is up to
date on vaccinations and heartworm medication. Ana-Lucia is fostered in
Griffin, GA.
If you are interested in Ana please contact Rachael Eley at
savmoraussies@bellsouth.net.
The first step to adopting an Aussie is to fill out an online
application at
www.aussierescuega.com.
All puppies will be adopted on a spay/neuter contract. This
procedure must be performed by the
age of 6 months.
We will consider out of state adoptions and airline transport of
this dog at the owner's expense.

Luke
|
Adopted
ARPH: 8815
In February, we were informed by another rescue volunteer of
a deaf Aussie in a local shelter who
was about to be put to sleep. Yet another rescue volunteer
was able to transport him from the
Carroll County Shelter to our special needs foster home.
Thank you Cathy Saye and Betty Jo Ware
for bringing our attention to this wonderful dog.
Luke is a wonderful pure white Aussie with a tail, and has
two beautiful crystal blue eyes. Luke is
from a merle to merle breeding and is deaf. But don't let that stop
you from considering him.
His foster home reports that anyone adopting him, is getting an
absolute gem. He is extremely
well behaved and just as sweet as they come. He is a smaller male
at around 47 pounds, and he
needs to lose a few vanity pounds. Once this is accomplished he
will be a small dog by Aussie
male standards.
At the moment, Luke is struggling with a bad case of kennel cough,
and will not be available for a
few weeks. He will be neutered as soon as he is strong enough to
undergo anesthesia.
Once his treatment is finished, he will have no permanent
effects from this illness. Despite all
the treatment he has undergone, his foster home reports that he is
a gentleman and takes it all in
stride. He is starting to play a little and his appetite is picking
up.
Please check back for current pictures of this handsome boy. Deaf
dogs are not dumb, and those
who own these amazing pets report that they are often easier to
train than hearing dogs. For
more information about living with deaf dogs, please visit the
website www.deafdogs.org.
If you are interested in adopting Luke, the first step to inquiring
is to fill out an application online
at
www.aussierescuega.com. We are also asking for donations to help with
his kennel cough
treatment. Please contact Rachael Eley at
savmoraussies@bellsouth.net for more information.
This dog is fostered in Griffin, GA.

Molly
 |
Adopted
Here's an update on Molly from her foster mom:
Molly
has an appointment with our vet for March 8, next Wednesday to have the
cyst on her eye and a few bumps
on her head and back removed. Also get her teeth cleaned :)
Dr Martin says that she should weigh between 25 and 30 pounds. She
weighs 38 :( She is on a diet.
Molly has a very gentle soul and is
very smart. She doesn't bark, walks perfectly on a leash, dances when
she is
happy (usually in conjunction with food, walks or car rides). And
she is really excellent with my spoiled cats.
The only two issues are her weight and her deafness. Both caused by
severe neglect. I'm still wiping dark matter from
her ears but have given up any hope that she will ever hear again.
Molly has been Frontlined, earmited,
wormed, vaccinated, nails clipped (she couldn't walk properly because of
her
long nails), and she has had a flea bath (Molly was so badly
infested with fleas that her bath water ran a true red).
I must find someone who will love and dote on her like she needs
and deserves. I'm terrified that she will be tied
up in a backyard all alone.
Molly comes with a return guarantee.
If for any reason, she can no longer be cared for by her new people, she
can
always come back to me.
Molly originally belonged to an
elderly lady. I believe Molly was cared for, taught manners and dearly
loved by this lady.
Then, unfortunately, the lady had to go into a nursing home. Molly
was then given to another elderly lady with
hoarding tendencies who lives in a tiny filthy travel trailer. She
also had 7 cats she kept in 1 medium sized dog
carrier, standing in each other's urine and under a heavy quilt
with no cat pan or water. They were let out to eat
and drink when the lady remembered them and felt like it. Molly had
been living in hell for the last 2 to 3 years.

Molly's name to see her poster! If you are interested in adopting this
special girl, please contact Ginger:

Molly is located in Ellensburg,

Kaiden
|
Adopted
Kaiden is an
owner surrender, and has a birth date of 11-27-05 so he is barely 3
months old. He
has starburst eyes and it looks like one is slightly
crossed but seems to see pretty well. Maybe
some impairment but not too much. He is very thin.
Ok info on this guy that I have observed... he is
probably the sweetest puppy I have ever met.....
instead of chewing on you every time you try to pet
him, he just absorbs it like a sponge.
He loves to be near you, I think it is
re-assuring when he can see us. I think he would love
another dog to live with and help him out. So far he
gets along great with every dog he has met.
He does fine with my dog friendly cats and my son likes him
because he doesn't jump on
him or chew on him. This little guy loves to follow my son
around like a shadow, so he's
also great with young children, (my son is 20 months).
If you are interested in adopting Kaiden, please contact Michelle:

Kaiden is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado |

Sketch

Fate Unknown
Sketch is sitting here in my lap, the cutest thing on
4 feet. He's white with just one dark ear and
he would so like someone to love him for life. You have to be a very special
person though,
because Sketch is deaf. Other than that, Sketch is just a normal little guy
who likes to romp and
play and have a good time. He would really enjoy a nice fenced yard to run
in and a great big lap
to sit in until he grows up. Come see this fluffy little guy and see what
you think.

Bounce (aka Ais)
|
Adopted
Bounce (also known as Ais) is an 8 week old 'lethal
white' aussie puppy (8 weeks as of 1/6/06).
Lethal White Aussies are a result of irresponsible breeding. Bounce was born
both deaf and blind
and then dropped off at a shelter. Bounce will require a special home where
she is loved, kept safe
and will be forever with her new family. Unfortunately for this little
girl, she will never get to experience
the sight of this world nor the voices of her loving family. Despite her
challenges, Bounce is growing
into a happy, playful sweet pup that deserves a great life. If you are
interested in being a forever home for Bounce / Ais (pronounced Ice), please contact
Deb. |

Winter |
Adopted
Sheltie Available for Adoption!
Winter is a striking five year old male white sheltie that was the result of breeding two merle gene
parents. He is a fairly shy but well-behaved young guy. He has become more social while in our
program male. He was turned into our program because he is deaf and currently very very shy.
Because of his limited socialization he will need considerable adjustment time and patience to
change that behavior. We believe this resulted from being crated for a considerable, perhaps majority,
portion of his life. As a result, he was not properly socialized. Despite his shyness, he has been very
docile at his foster family and is showing some signs of coming out of his shell although, again, we
are talking about the need for a very lengthy adjustment period. We think he deserves a very loving
and patient family. He is comfortable with other dogs and they may help him adjust. He will probably
do well with cats. Probably would require older kids.
Winter is healthy, neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations
Patient persons interested in Winter should contact Phyllis Watson 480-464-1269. An application and
adoption fee will be required.

Helen Keller |
Adopted
Helen Keller is a tiny white fluff ball located in Beebe, Arkansas. Imagine driving down the road and seeing a little dog walking unsteady and spinning in the middle
of the road. What would you do? Well two wonderful people stopped and got out to help her. She
spun around in confusion and they *knew* she had been hit by a car. Imagine their surprise, when
they lifted her up, to find she had no eyes. Please meet our Helen Keller.
Helen is a young adult and has
a full life ahead of her. When we discovered she was also deaf, we took her
into our vet and she gave her an otherwise clean bill of health. Helen gets
around remarkably well for a dog who can't see and here. You should see her
nose in action. When she smells you coming she starts dancing around and
wiggling until you hold her. When you life her up she snuggles into your
neck and sighs. Helen will require a very special home. She does have a
friend or two here she plays with, but in general she doesn't like other
dogs jumping on her and playing with her, which could be simply because she
is scared. When dinner is put on the table... she smells it from a mile away
and wants to share... She is working on her crate training... getting better
everyday. She would much more enjoy sleeping in your bed. Helen needs
someone who will see how special she is... and know its not her blindness or
deafness that make her special... but it's her loving trusting personality
from a girl who can't see and hear. The way she wiggles when she smells you
and the way her whole body melts with a little affection. She needs someone
who will protect her because she is defenseless in a harsh world. We would
prefer a fenced yard for her safety, although applications will be screened
on a case by case basis. If your not ready to make a commitment to this
little girl, but she has touched your heart, please consider making a
donation in Helen's honor to our Humane Society. Thank you for reading about
our Helen.

Missy |
Adopted Missy is just about a year old. She is deaf but can see just fine. She was turned in because she has
started to bark at the horses at her owners home. She is good with other dogs and is being crate
trained. On October 6 Missy gave birth to 8 puppies. Please follow this link to see pictures and
for more information. If you would like to donate towards the puppies care, please visit our

Cameron |
Adopted Cameron (aka Cammie) was rescued from a local area shelter. She is very puppyish - loves to run
and play with other dogs and seems to get along fine with the ones she has met so far. She likes
to play with toys and can often be found carrying a toy in her mouth. Tug-o-war is her favorite game.
When it’s hot, she loves the kiddie pool to cool off and does well for baths. Cameron is primarily white with some blue merle, and she has blue eyes. Cameron is deaf and does have some vision impairment.
**Note - Cameron has since been returned to
Austin Tx Aussie Rescue on 7/06. She is once again
available and will be featured on Coast to Coast.

Jill |
Adopted Jill came to us from the pound with her sister Jackie. Jackie was a beautiful merle and got adopted
right away. Jill is just as pretty, but she is deaf and blind. In the dog world, this is called "lethal white."
Jill is highly intelligent and should lead a relatively normal life with responsible owners. She will need
a fenced yard. We have people within our organization that have lethal white australian shepherds
as part of their families. They would be happy to chat with you if you consider adopting this dog. Right
now she is in a foster home with young children and other pets and is doing really well.
**Note** Though no fault of hers, Jill is again available for
adoption. Her new information is on our
Coast to Coast page.
**Update **Jill has been adopted by a wonderful family.

Buddy |
Adopted Buddy is a beautiful, blue-eyed male Australian Shepherd mix (maybe Golden Retriever?) He is
4 to 5 years old. Buddy is patient and gentle with children, and never gets mad at his canine foster
sisters and brother, but he is not always reliable with cats. He is better with cats inside and once
he gets to know them. He is playful, enthusiastic, and always happy, and needs a yard to play in.
Buddy is nearly deaf and has learned some sign language, including sit, shake, down, stay and
roll over. He is very attentive, smart, and trainable. He LOVES to play ball! He is also house-trained
and reliable left loose in the house. He is crate-trained although he sometimes complains about the
confinement at first. |

Quigley |
Adopted Quigley came to us from the pound as a puppy. He was adopted by a family that decided they weren't
equipped to handle his disability. Quigs is partially deaf and blind. He needs a fenced yard so he doesn't
wander away. He's very attentive and loves affection. In these photos, he's been shaved for the summer,
but normally he has a beautiful and fluffy coat. You can see he has beautiful merle markings. Quigley is
housetrained and would be a great companion for someone that is home a lot and can give him the
attention and supervision that he needs. He loves to play and would love to be in a home with a dog
similar in age and size to play with. The adoption fee for this dog is $100 which includes the spay/neuter.
We show dogs by appointment only. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Lisa at (435) 752-3534

Kaulani - (k-lani) |
Adopted I am trying to locate someone to help. I received an Aussie who is now about 8 months old. She could
never hear but is now going blind. She walks into things and hurts herself. We don't have the financial
ability to help this puppy although we have tried. If you know of someone or somewhere we can put her,
it would be great. We didn't know she was deaf or blind when we received her. A friend’s dog got out
and had a litter. He gave us the puppy because she was the last one. We just recently found out about
the merle gene when she got out and we lost her. She was picked up by the humane society and they
couldn't believe we showed up to get her. I was surprised our vet never mentioned this before. She has
been fixed and has all her shots. She is very cute and very docile. She is great in the house and very
quiet until she goes outside. Please contact Stef Gustafson, 808-934-3630, e-mail pepto43@yahoo.com |

Pin Ball
|
Fate Unknown
Foster Home or Adoptive Home needed
for Pinball Hello, I am with the Animal Rescue Foundation of Mobile, AL. We have recently received a blind and
deaf puppy. He appears to have been born this way. We are a no kill organization and have no intention
of putting him down but we have no idea of how to proceed with this puppy. We've all lost our hearts to
him, he will just cuddle in the most loving way when ever you pick him up. But he is still so young and I
believe he hasn't even learned to eat properly because he's not chewing his food, he's swallowing it whole
and he stay's bloated all the time. The vet is telling us to give him small portions several times a day to
keep him from bloating but we don't know if this is something physical or related to something he should
have learned with his littermates. I just hope this is something you can give us some pointers on or better,
if you know of a group that specializes in helping blind and deaf puppies that may be willing to take Pin Ball. Please contact us at arfcc2@yahoo.com |

Gracie

Fate Unknown
COLORADO - GRACIE is a two-year-old, double merle or lethal white, spayed, female Australian Shepherd. Gracie is both deaf and blind. Her right eye is so small that it is nearly non-existent; her left eye is visible, but she does not have any vision in it. Gracie came into a local shelter with several other dogs as part of a cruelty case several monthsago. The shelter foster care volunteer has made great progress with her, and Gracie is now ready
for a new home. We have been asked to take her and find that special home for her. |
