Mikko's Story

Sienna was adopted in December 2001. Sienna is a beautiful female tabby. She has FIV, but otherwise is in great health.Sienna is a very affectionate girl, and loves attention. She enjoys being brushed, and if you're too busy she will even brush herself! Once she gets to know you, she will lay in your lap and cuddle. Sienna gets along with some cats, and will need someone willing to take the time to introduce her slowly into a new household.

Big Ben was adopted in December 2001. Big Ben is a Tabby Cat who was rescued from the county shelter. He'd been hit by a car and lost sight in one eye and lost his tail. He's on a special diet of wet food and pumpkin to prevent constipation. His bottom does need cleaning several times a week because of the nerve damage from the injury. He is a sweet cat. Loves people, loves to play, gets along with dogs and other cats and our hearts are just breaking for him because he has not been adopted yet.

Otis was adopted, apparently in early November, 2001. Otis is a beautiful fawn and black nuetered male, who was surrendered to a kill shelter after his 95 year old guardian died. Like so many pugs, Otis has limited vision, but has learned to navigate my house very well, and does great on a leash. He is now on cyclosporin eye drops twice a day, which he willingly accepts. This sweet boy is housebroken, current on all vaccinations, and heartworm negative.

Benny has found his forever home with Molly a very sassy, one year old Lhaso, and Mishka a 13 year old Siamese. Oh yes, he also has a couple of great humans to spend time with! Benny is a 2 year old neutered Lhasa Apso Mix. He is almost completely blind. He is very people oriented, most likely housebroken, and walks well on leash.

Clancy was adopted in early November, 2001. Clancy is a 1-2 year old Australian Shepherd mix who is deaf. He was rescued from one shelter where he was scheduled to be put to sleep. His time at our shelter is not indefinite. He enjoys running and playing in the communal dog area with his "friends." While in his kennel he likes to be sprawled froglike, head up taking in all the activity. He takes everything in stride, whether it is getting a bath or taking a walk. He seems to relish any attention which is lavished upon him. He has gorgeous blue eyes that are always surveying the world around him.

Ally was adopted in October, 2001. Ally is a 1-2 year old German Shepherd mix. She has a long snout, and ears that tuck back, and long, slender legs. She was found at the pound on 3/1/01 when Animal Control officers picked her up after she was hit by a car. She had some damage to her front leg, and the vet had to amputated her leg. She is heartworm negative, spayed and up-to-date on shots. She is a very loving, sweet dog. She kept licking my hand, as if to say "Thank you for saving me."

Great news! Sunny has a new home! We checked these folks out thoroughly, their vet loves them, and Austin rescue did a home check yesterday - they loved them too! So my little guy will be moving down to Georgetown, TX this weekend. He will have two dogs and four cats to play with. And two people to give him lots of attention.

Sunny is a fun-loving little fellow. Born deaf (early 2001), but full of life. He is probably a husky mix, but will be smaller (at about 8 months, he weighs almost 30 lbs). Sunny is crate-trained and is learning sign language. He loves other dogs and does great in public. He does not mind being touched, but is too busy moving to stop and cuddle too often. He is very loving and quite photogenic. Sunny has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations, and is on heartworm preventative. He is near Dallas, Texas.

Trudy was adopted near the end of September 2001. Trudy was originally rescued from a shelter here in Austin. She had a badly mangled front leg, which we tried to have an orthopedic vet repair. When we x-rayed her leg, it appeared that she had been shot, as there were several bullets in her. The repairs were not successful, in the end her body rejected the pins in her elbow joint, and we ended up amputating the leg. During all of this, and the time that she lived with me as a foster, I never once heard her growl or complain. She was a favorite client at the vet clinic, and remains a happy and cheerful Doberman. Trudy is cat friendly, dog friendly, child friendly, and an extraordinary ambassador for this breed. She loves to play, and is not at all hampered by the amputation. She loves to run and play and jump, and could always keep up with the four-legged dogs. In fact, she is faster than my four legged Doberman! She needs no extra care or special medical attention, just needs an indoor home where she will be spoiled, loved, and cared for for the rest of her life.

Buddy the white shep/lab was adopted a in September 2001 by a wonderful family and they are extremely happy with him. Buddy is an awesome dog. He only has three legs, but don't tell him, he doesn't know it. He likes to play ball and have fun. He loves attention and is such a good boy.

Wonderful news! McDuff the beautiful orange/white cat that was blind has been adopted. He found his forever home in Columbus, Ohio with a lovely new mom named Judy. McDuff has had quite an adventurous week. Thursday he flew on a plane for the first time and is currently getting settled in his new home. His new mom is thrilled with him, bless her for opening up her home to this special needs kitty. Your website was instrumental in finding him his new home, thank you from McDuff and me.

This is Sugar (formerly known as Snuggles on this web site). She is a blind and deaf Australian Shepherd mix. I drove from Denver, Colorado to Amarillo, Texas to pick her up from her foster dad, Parrish, who had saved her from a Dallas shelter. I fell in love with her from her pictures on this site. She has beautiful merle coloring on her back and sides and she always seems to have a big smile on her face. She is an amazing puppy who just lives life to the fullest. She gets around really well by smelling her way or by feeling vibrations through the floor.

I take her to the dog park by my house and let her run free with the other dogs (and her sister Lu Lu who has 3 legs). People can't believe how well she gets around and they think that she can see. But she can't. Her eye balls are covered up by her 3rd eye lids and so all you see is pink skin. Her right eye can barely be seen but it's a beautiful blue one even if it is tiny. Sugar can do pretty much anything a regular dog can do. You just can't be a lazy person with a blind and deaf dog. When she gets lost I will go get her and then she'll follow along all happy that she knows where I am.

She loves going on walks and car rides and she jumps right up in the car no problem. One of her favorite places is PetsMart where she and Lu Lu can pick out all the toys and chewies to their hearts content. Sugar and Lu Lu's disabilities don't keep them out of trouble either, they chew on things, dig up my flower beds and play like crazy rabid dogs. They're puppies and they're having the time of their lives!

Wonderful news, Chloe, our three-legged dog has been adopted!

We were finally able to get her into one of our best foster homes and she was adopted shortly thereafter to a lady who has just retired and will be with her all the time.

GREAT news. The adoption for Blackie and the little blind one (Captain Hook) has been completed! Both cats are now living with a loving family in CT. And they even have a cat named Salem who looks just like Blackie!

Thank you for your amazing website and for all the WONDERFUL people who emailed us with suggestions, help, and offered loving homes! Without them, we wouldn't have found the loving family in CT!

Chance has been adopted by a wonderful family in NJ and they are "working " on the hand signals. Thanks for all your help in posting him for us.

Chance is a special needs little guy. He is happy, healthy, playful and deaf.

He is a beautiful white pit bull terrier mix with a black dash over his left eye. Chance is crate-trained and is housebroken. He loves to snuggle in the morning before the day begins and loves to play the rest of the day. He is smart, lovable and willing to learn. He is starting to learn hand signals and is looking for someone to continue to teach him and love him forever. Neutered, all shots and heartworm negative.

GREAT NEWS! Blue and Clue have found a warm loving home! Thanks Pets with Disabilities for finding these two felines a home together. Now, Blue can continue hearing for his brother Clue!

GREAT NEWS! Thanks to Pets with Disabilities, we have found a loving home for Ralphie. Ralphie now resides with a wonderful caring couple and their new puppy in Southern Maryland. Pets with Disabilities will provide continued support to the couple and Ralphie's medical needs.

GREAT NEWS! Prince has been rescued and adopted by our local Calvert County Humane Society President. Thanks Pets With Disabilities for getting the word out on Prince and finding a safe and loving home for him!

Prince is a Wheaten Terrier. He is very SPECIAL, because he is blind in both eyes. He is a sweet dog and definitely knows his name and now has a special home.

SUCCESS! NO NAME YET has been adopted by a local family. He is in good company now, with his new companion pug sister and family. Congratulations and good luck to our three legged pup and his new family!!!

NO NAME YET, was rescued recently by a caring citizen living in the Levi/Marion County, Florida. He is an eight week old mostly German Shepherd puppy. He is a victim of animal abuse. He was found with his hind leg cut off at the joint above his foot. He is well healed, and is in no need of immediate veternary care. Other than being three legged, he is a healthy, strong puppy that needs a caring home.

SUCCESS! Thanks so much for putting Lucky on your web site. He was adopted,by a very nice couple who just adore him. He goes swimming and camping with his new family and is currently in training to learn to deal with his disability. Thank you so much and we all hope that all the other pets with disabilities are as "Lucky" as he was.

Lucky is an American Staffordshire Terrier who has been at the New Hampshire S.P.C.A. since March. He is a very happy-go-"lucky" kind of guy,who likes kids and dogs.Since he has never lived with cats we don't know how he would be with them.He is crate trained and somewhat leash trained and enjoys playing with his toys,baths swimming and driving in the car. During his stay at the S.P.C.A. Lucky was neutered, while at the vets it was discovered that he is almost totally deaf. Since that time he has quickly learned a few hand signals.Training him has been easy as he is very intelligent and his nature makes him eager to please.

SUCCESS! Buddy has been adopted by a wonderful family from Ohio. They are all excited for Buddy to meet their chocolate lab. He will join his new family the end of August. Thanks, Pets with Disabilities for your generous donation towards Buddy's medical treatments. He will be a great pet to his new family.

Buddy, is a Lab who was rescued by Lucky Ones, located at 19625 Aquasco Road, Aquasco, Md. 20608. He is a very handsome and gentle young fellow, who has a serious hip problem that requires corrective therapy. Luckily, for Buddy, between Lucky Ones and Double D’s, Inc. we have raised enough funds for Buddy to have some corrective therapy.

UNBELIEVABLE NEWS! Sadar, has been adopted by Lady's owners,the Johnson family. The Johnson family learned about Sadar from the website. As you know Lady and Sadar are both blind. What a special family the Johnson's are to commit themselves to sharing their lives with Sadar and Lady. We will be looking forward to getting updates on both Lady and Sadar in the future!

A Boxer/Lab named Sadar was turned in by his owner. They had the dog since it was six weeks old. The dog was born blind and the original owner was going to put the puppy to sleep but the other family asked to take him. Of course, no one wanted to adopt a blind dog. And we didn't want to put him up front for someone to do the OH, POOR THING ROUTINE. So I took him. I got involved with Breed Rescue and have a place that I can take a dog until they can be moved into breed rescue. What I've been doing is looking to find Sadar the right place. He did go to Breed Rescue in Monroe, NC. The person had her own dog that was an intact male, Sadar was intact, I don't think they got along. I went and picked Sadar up. He has been neutered and is on heartworm preventive. He is 1.5 years old. This dog is so amazing. He does not know he has a handicap. He knows where things are in my backyard and runs and plays. I throw a ball with a bell it it and he runs after it. When the bell stops, he puts his nose to the ground and starts looking for it. I have a 4 month old german sheppard puppy with him and they get along fine. Buddy will pick the ball up and run, Sadar runs after both. When he jumps up, he jumps backwards. He knows where he has been. He rides in my truck, in the front seat fine. I do need to find a good home for him.
