Bert

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

Violet

Violet is a beautiful catahoula mix and a very smart girl. She is in need of a home where she would
   be the only dog. Violet would make a great hiking/travel companion. She loves to play with tennis
   balls and likes to do activities to keep her mentally stimulated.   Because of her activity level, no kitties
   or children please!

   Violet is crate trained, housebroken with a doggie door, current on vaccinations,
    micro-chipped, and spayed. She has also been to puppy obedience class and is about 1.5 yrs old

    If you are interested in adopting Violet, please contact Amy @ widowgirl@gmail.com

Violet is located in Phoenix, AZ

Zale

Zale arrived at the shelter as a stray. He seems to be either deaf, or has very limited hearing. But he
is a sweetheart! He is quiet, has a nice temperament, easy to handle, loves affection, and has
great eye contact.

Zale is approximately 1 yr old, current on vaccinations, and will be neutered upon adoption.

If you would like to adopt Zale and provide him with a loving forever home, please contact:

Karly at kcantrell@canyonco.org

Zale is located in Caldwell, Idaho

**Update** - Zale is now with a great rescue group and will be going to his
new foster home in Portland, OR

Sadie & Sophie

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: info@txaussies.com

Stella

Stella is between 1 1/2 to 2 years old. She is deaf, but has good vision. She is learning hand signals
and is eager to learn. 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, and will need a home where she will get plenty
of exercise. Stella needs a fenced yard to be able to run and burn off some energy, and she also loves
walks. 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, and
microchipped. 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

Harley

Harley is a 6 year old Red Tri Aussie that has Diabetes, he gets insulin everyday and is on W/D
food to help him get the right nutrition. He does great and doesn't let this slow him down. He loves to
play and go for walks. He loves everyone and is very sweet. He is good with other dogs but ones that
don't play to rough for him. His eyes were effected so he doesn't have full vision he can see right in
front of him but not at a long range. He is housebroken and crate trained. In fact he likes to sleep in his
crate. He is looking for a new family to give him a second chance and be his forever home.

For more info please contact Jane at 602-930-9384 or email jlb723@msn.com

Harley is located in Payson, AZ

Whitney

Whitney is a 1 1/2 yr old spayed Australian Shepherd. She is good with other dogs, horses, goats,
chickens, and kids! She is very sweet and loves attention. She has always been an outside dog and
will need to learn how to be indoors.

Whitney recently had an eye removed due to an injury. She is current on vaccinations including rabies.

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.

Possum (long-haired girl)
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!

Jasper (long-haired boy)
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.

Tye

Adopted

Tye is a 2.5 yr old, blue merle, neutered male Australian Shepherd. Tye does well with people and dogs.
He is docile with children. Tye is an outdoor dog and has not lived indoors but would probably enjoy
getting out of this NC heat.

Tye loves to swim and spends time swimming in his owners pond. Tye is about 35 lbs, so he is a
smaller male. Tye is DEAF and needs an owner with a fenced yard that is willing to work with him.
Tye also is heartworm positive and will need to be treated.

Tye is looking for a foster home or a forever home. If you can open your heart and home to Tye,
please contact Jeremi Clark at jeremi.clark@gmail.com.

Tye is located in North Carolina.

Angel

Angel is about an 8 month old “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

Seeker

Meet Seeker

in progress of housebreaking, and learning the hand signal for come.
He is getting on well with other dogs, and loves all people.

If you are interested in adopting Seeker, please contact Melonie at giglz15@yahoo.com

Seeker is located in Casper, Wyoming

Misty

Misty is a sweet pure bread female Australian Shepard, who is about 8 months old. She’s mostly
white with some tan splotches. Misty is a Lethal White, causing her to be deaf & having some slight
vision problems as well. Though it is impolite to discuss a lady’s weight, she currently clocks in at
40 lbs & will soon be spayed. Misty’s playful & likes to romp with most other dogs.

She has a tendency to be a tad rough with cats & because of her deafness, she cannot process the
warnings of other dogs. This causes her not to cope well with nervous or aggressive dogs. Misty loves
to play in water & is mostly housebroken (but would be fully so with a little more work). Unfortunately,
this blessing has picked up a few bad habits such as landscaping (a.k.a. digging) & chewing on
various items which may resemble her dog toys. Her afternoons are spent outside sunning, napping,
& chasing cars along the fence line. We are trying to find a good & loving home for this puppy as
our other dog is a nervous breed & doesn’t enjoy this furry companion. We can deliver Misty within a
reasonable from our home, but can discuss other travel arrangements if the distance is too great.

Please email afaith4u@earthlink.net if you are interested in Misty.

Peter Pan

Peter Pan is a beautiful Aussie. He is hearing impaired but has no problem seeing. He loves being
with his people, running and playing. If you have time and room in your heart for this special guy,
please give us a call. Peter Pan is housebroken, neutered, and current on vaccinations.

Charlie

Charlie is a young boy of undisclosed parents so we're not too sure exactly what breed to define him.
Whatever he is, one things for sure, he is a cutie. Charlie is about the best dog I've ever met. He plays
well with other dogs, with people and all by himself. When Charlie is done playing outside, he'll grab a
toy, lay down and play quietly. Charlie is housebroken and crate trained. He loves rope toys and playing
chase with the other dogs. Some folks might think Charlie isn't "perfect" because he was born with
microopthamalia: his eyes never fully developed so he can't see. Charlie doesn't find this to be a
problem at all. He is voice trained and will "find me" when asked. He can find his toys, his crate and
anything else he wants. The attached photo is a few months old. Charlie has grown to his full weight of
40 lbs.

Blue

   Blue is a 7 month old, beautiful girl. She is deaf and has some vision impairment. Blue is current on
   vaccinations, spayed, and micro-chipped. She is great with cats and dogs, housebroken and is very
   smart.

Blue was rescued from a homeless man that was breeding puppies when she was just a month old.

Blue is located in Oregon.

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.

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.

Dot

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.

Possum

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.

Donations can be sent to Possum's Vet at:
Compassion Animal Hospital
14370 W. Hwy. 29, Suite 9
Liberty Hill, Texas 78642

To foster or adopt Possum, please contact MBR.
