Information:


Nadya was tied to her dog house almost her whole life until she came into Blind Dog Rescue Alliance from Indiana, she's a tiny little girl that lives in a world of darkness and silence.  Nadya is being fostered in Philadelphia PA, and has many foster Siberian Husky brothers and a sister.  Because of her lack of hearing and sight, Nadya is not very playful, and this is because of her deafness she has no noise stimulation around her.  She's not fond of her face being touched, I think it scares her and she will pull away but she's fine if you touch her shoulder.  She does sleeps a lot because she cannot hear and has no stimulation.  Nadya is a very quiet girl. 

If you want to find out more about Nadya, please email her foster home.

If you would like to adopt Nadya, please fill out an adoption application.

PRESS RELEASE

 

“SNOWFLAKE”

ALL WHITE SIBERIAN HUSKY

3 YEAR OLD FEMALE

BLIND AND DEAF

 

January 4th through January 9th, 2010, the Glen Carbon Police Department Animal Control received an exorbitant number of telephone complaints regarding “Snowflake” being left out in the bitter cold.  The conditions were made more traumatic due to Snowflake being blind and deaf.  Snowflakes owner although sensitive to the animal’s plight could not bring the animal inside the residence but were in compliance with all of the Animal Welfare Act requirements.  Animal Control officers of the police department worked with the owner in making special provisions for Snowflake’s outdoor environment. 

 

After consultation with animal control officers and with the dog’s best interest at heart, the owner consented to relinquish control and ownership of the animal if the officers could find specialized services for the dog.  Animal Control Officers contacted the Blind Dog Rescue Alliance.  The Alliance will receive custody of the dog and provide specialized training to reinvent her quality of life.  In addition the Alliance will place the animal with an adoptive parent that has the ability and special training to handle a blind and deaf dog. 

 

On Saturday January 16th, 2010 Snowflake will begin her journey to her new foster home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for specialized training and care.  Happy tails!
