Tonka
|
Adopted
Well if I look tired,,,,I AM! Mom woke me
up from the best nap ever and asked me to " Smile for the camera" Well since
I can't hear OR see what a smile or camera might be I just sat and grumbled
at her. I had just finished a full morning of playing with my buddies and
romping around the yard, had a great big breakfast and thought, " a nap
sounds GREAT!" That's when she woke me up. Now I'm not usually like that,
but I just love my naps! You would too if could nap like I do.
So what would you like to know?
Why Tonka? "Cause I like to plow through life. My Life so far? I LOVE
my life so far and look forward to every new day. What have I learned
lately? LOTS!!!! I know sit, stay and I've almost figured out down. I just
discovered "the trail" and I love to walk with my pack in the forest. I'm a
BIG, sweet, lovable guy who just wants a family that will love me, challenge
me to be the best I can be and never, I mean NEVER feel sorry for me. I
don't, and never plan to. All someone has to do is meet me and you'll be
captivated by my marshmallow like lovability. I'm really not that different
than any other dog, you just have to be more aware of my safety and I can't
follow you without a leash.
Please feel free to call my foster mom with any questions you might have.
She just LOVES to talk about me and I LOVE the belly rubs she gives ").

Kel |
Kel is a blue merle Lethal White
merle to merle cross. He has two blue eyes, merle patches on his back
and hindquarters, and is tailed. He has limited sight in his right eye,
full sight in his left, and is deaf.
We are looking for a very special home that can accommodate his handicaps.
He is a very affectionate boy, and plays very well with other dogs. He is a
bit afraid of cats. He currently
knows the hand signals for down, come, and good boy, and we are
endeavoring to teach him the basic
signs for sit, stay, off, etc. He is a very intelligent dog, and learns
quickly, but it will take some time, and
any adopter must be willing to put in the time it takes to finish his
training after adoption. We will be happy
to provide assistance to anyone who adopts him.
He is current on his shots, has been micro-chipped, and is neutered.
We are taking applications for him now. Read the adoption section, and then
fill out the online application,
or call us at 303-289-2195 to begin the application process.

Lester
|
Adopted
Hi there, my name is Lester and I’m a 9
week old Aussie pup with a tail.
Now I know what you’re thinking, I’ve got a lot of
white on me and that sometimes means that puppies
are deaf. Luckily for me, I can hear pretty good and I see perfectly,
though I squint in the sunshine. My
hearing isn’t 100%, but I do respond when you talk sweet to me and come
when called.
My foster Mom says I need an Aussie aware home
that knows the breed because I am a handful. Like
any Aussie pup, I’m bold and headstrong, so I need someone that can fill
be up with obedience and
training.
I love giving puppy kisses and I do chew on
some things, but I am a puppy, so please be patient with
me. Lester is fostered in Cumming, GA. Please contact Rachael Eley at
savmoraussies@bellsouth.net
for more information. An adoption fee does apply and we will require he
be neutered.
Before contacting us in
regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application

Application.

Speck |
Meet Speck. What a beautiful boy! Speck is
blind, but hears very well. He was living his young puppy
life in an outside pen. Speck had managed to get out and was lost
for a few days. Lucky for Speck,
someone was looking out for him, and now he has a safe place to sleep,
soak up some love, and start
to enjoy life until his forever home is found.
He does great with other animals and loves to be cuddled with.
Speck does currently get a bit overwhelmed with too much noise and
stimulation. He is also on
daily seizure medicine. He will be visiting the eye doc this week
to have an evaluation done. Speck is
located in Houston, Tx.

family, please contact us initially

Sadie & Sophie
|
Adopted
This
2 wonderful girls are currently with Texas Aussie Rescue.
Sadly,
TARA will
be discontinuing operations
and need help with finding a loving home for Sadie & Sophie.
5 years old, 50 lb.
Sadie & Sophie are sisters who came to us from the Brownwood,
Texas Humane Society.
These beautiful girls are blind and deaf as is the case with
many Lethal Whites. But both are very
happy and loving. Sadie seems to be a little more in need of personal
attention, but both are playful.
Sophie is a little more
independent at first and adapted to their new environment with us more
easily,
but once Sadie got her bearings, she has become more adventurous.
They rely on each other very much as they have been companions
since birth and would do best in a
home where they could remain together. And while they get along very
well with other dogs, it would be
preferable to place them in a home with no other animals, as they will require
considerable attention.
It will take a very special home with the patience to allow them to become adjusted.
These girls
are both AMAZING!!!
Both very well house-trained. They are both current with basic
vaccinations, heartworm negative,
and have been spayed.
FOR MORE INFORMATION: Please contact Stan:

Bunny

Possum

Sheldon

Jasper
|
All four of these puppies will act like any other dog/puppy and can live
long, normal lives :-) They will
make excellent family dogs (they have had a lot of experience with
children already)! They would love
to join you on all your daily activities, have fun romping around with
another dog, and will usually excel
at obedience...as they are an incredibly smart breed!!!
There are two males and two females. There is one short-haired male and
one long-haired male...there
is one short-haired female and one long-haired female. The short-haired
pups resemble Labs ;-) All
four have varying degrees of hearing/vision loss, but function incredibly
well :-)
Dogs with some hearing impairment are great because they don't bark at
every little sound (it is
WONDERFUL)! Dogs with sight impairments also learn to get around just
like any person who might
be blind. They can do anything any other dog can do! You just have to be
willing to love them and take
care of them :-)
Bunny (short-haired girl)
Bunny is the smallest of the group. She is a snuggle bug, but timid. She
does come out of her shell a
little but, she likes it more if you let her sniff you or you stick your
body against her nose.
*update*
Bunny is in a foster home with a trainer and has learned to use a doggie
door, play with toys,
sit, and walk calmly on a leash. She has come an amazingly
long way and we are SO proud of her!
Possum (long-haired girl)
**"ADOPTED**
Every time we whistle, her ears perk up. She is a total lover and likes
to kiss!!!
Sheldon (short-haired boy)
He likes to crawl right into your lap!
*update*
Sheldon has just entered his foster home, so he is just learning to
assimilate into "home life".
We have no doubts he will go far in life, but truly needs a permanent
home where he can learn, love,
and grow! Sheldon enjoys playing with balls, toys, and other dogs.
Jasper (long-haired boy)
**ADOPTED**
He is very sweet and gives lots of kisses :) He is a little shy but warms
up quickly.
All four of these babies will be vaccinated, spayed/neutered, dewormed,
and microchipped prior to
going to their permanent homes. If you are interested in any of them,
please fill out a questionnaire on
the website below.

These
puppies are located in Anaheim, California

Dusty
|
DUSTY
7.5 yrs., medium to large size (Updated 12-14-06)
Dusty needs a loving retirement home. He is very friendly, very playful,
and very loveable. Notice his
sweet smile too?! Dusty travels well in a car, and has never had any type
of training, but walks on a
leash perfectly. Dusty is deaf. He has blue eyes and one is smaller, but
he can see just fine.
Because his family has moved to a smaller home and Dusty has a preference
for females (and
doesn't really care for the other male dog he lives with), he would be
happier with a new family.
Dusty is current on vaccinations, heartworm prevention, and neutered.
You don't have to be "special" to love and own a deaf dog--it's not that
hard! We don't recommend
a deaf dog for families with very young kids since there is always a
concern for safety regarding doors
and gates. A secure yard is a must.
Contact Cynthia for more information at
mstexcyn@sbcglobal.net
or call 361-876-4905.

Dusty is located in Corpus Christi, Texas |

Khen
|
Khen is about 2 years old and was found abandoned near
National Forest land. He had been in a
fight with another stray dog. The kind people that found him had
been told by the shelter that he would
be euthanized. Since they couldn't let that happen, he was
brought to us.
He is sweet and loveable , but a little frightened by the world. He
needs an understanding and
permanent home where he can get the love he needs and deserves!
If you are interested in giving Khen a forever home, please contact
tarasbabies or Raven at
aradiasraven@yahoo.com Khen is
located in Arizona |


Lady


Lilly
|
My name is Angela, and I am looking for help
for these 2 girls here in our shelter. They are both
female siblings, around a year old. They are very beautiful with the
coloring, but we are pretty sure
they are deaf. We have been told this is called a Lethal White.They have
adapted well here, and
they depend on each other. They stand butt to butt, so they can see
everything. When separated they
cry for the other. They are very loving, and sweet, and get along great
with the other dogs here.
If anyone thinks they may be able to help us with placement, we sure
would appreciate it. Please
email, or you can reach me at (931)296-7319.
Thanks,
Angela
Waverly Animal Shelter
Waverly, Tennessee
UPDATE:
Lilly has been Adopted by her Foster Family. |

Possum
|
***
sadly, Possum has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. She was much
loved and cherished***
We are seeking a mature person who already owns a deaf or
blind dog, one who preferably works from home or has a
flexible
schedule and one who can spend lots of time with this baby.
Although many people will feel sorry for her, she is a
happy girl, and oblivious of her missing senses.
She gets real quiet when she is placed in unfamiliar
surroundings. She will sit or lay in one spot until she
feels like exploring.
But once she knows the surroundings, watch out. She will run
you over! When she gets to feeling frisky, we all find a
place
against the wall or on the couch and let her run. She has a
blast! Nothing stops her! If one of the cats takes a swipe
at her
she will bark back at them and she will not move from her
spot. She stands her ground! She does not let anyone push
her around.
She can see some light. Just this morning she tried to
play with the large bag of dog food. The bag has a large
Black Lab
on it. I think she can see the contrast from light to dark
but not for sure. Her tracking is out of this world. I can
walk a pattern
and she will track me down. A very smart cookie. She loves
everybody and everything! She definitely knows her way
around
the yard and her way back to the front door. She also knows
how to knock to be let inside.
Life could be very dangerous for her and her adoption
should not be taken lightly. This is a lifetime commitment
and a
fulltime "job." We have resources on training and living
with deaf dogs.
See the"http://www.deafdogs.org">Deaf Dog Education Action
Fund (DDEAF) for lots of helpful information.
We don't recommend a deaf dog for families with young kids
since there is always a concern for safety regarding doors
and gates. A secure yard is a must.
Possum is current on age appropriate vaccinations and
spayed.
UPDATE! Possum recently underwent extensive surgery
due to an unidentified injury that resulted in a broken hip.
She may
possibly face more surgery, depending on how her knee looks after the hip
heals up.
Little Possum had an accident in her foster's home due
to her blindness. We believe she fell off of her porch which
resulted in her breaking her left hip and tearing ligaments
in her left knee. Poor baby, as if life and a careless
breeder didn't deal her enough suffering!
We have had Possum since she was 6 weeks old and cannot bear
to see her suffer nor can we euthanize her for something
which can be repaired. Donations are needed to help with the
over $500 (discounted) cost for the combined surgeries, a
Femoral Head Ostectomy and a ligament repair. We also need a
special temporary foster to help Possum recover through
those tenuous first weeks after her operation and her
after-care physical therapy.
