Nadya

Sweet Nadya came to us from Illinois. Animal Control contacted us about a blind, deaf, heartworm positive dog living tied to a doghouse outside. So she made her way East to her foster home. She is being treated for her heartworms and learning about living in a house, and navigating the world as a blind and deaf dog. She loves attention, and gets all wiggly when you pet her, wagging her tail like mad! She has been to the vet, and everyone loved her! Do you have room in your home and heart for this special girl?
If you want to find out more about Nadya, please email her foster home.

PRESS RELEASE

 

“SNOWFLAKE”

ALL WHITE SIBERIAN HUSKY

3 YEAR OLD FEMALE

BLIND AND DEAF

 

January 4^th through January 9^{th, 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 16^th, 2010 Snowflake will begin her journey to her new foster home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for specialized training and care.  Happy tails!
