My wife and I adopted a 16 year old deaf and blind poodle mix. The rescue shelter said nobody was interested in adopting him and were so glad we'd give him at least a few loving remaining months. Turns out, he was with us until about 20-1/2 years old and was just the best dog in the world. He used his nose to map the downstairs area and got around just fine. He had three different beds in various spots and a water bowl in kitchen. As he was an old man, he'd get out of the bed he chose for the evening, meander to the laundry room (where we always had pee-pads laid out), find them, do his business on target, then meander to his water bowl in the kitchen, drink his fill, then always return to the particular bed he was sleeping in. Brilliant dog. It's not for everyone, but very worth considering. You may be surprised how sweet and fun an old dog can be.

We're not sure how old she was but the vet figured 10-11. We generally don't know the real age of many - it just turns out the "old man" came with his original medical records.

[@JulesUS8386]

Yeah dogs who need homes are usually great with their new ‘pack’ members. I foster pups and nursing moms. My three family Papillons now will hear puppy noises on TV and immediately look at the place we keep the nursing moms in our den. Then they begin looking around the house excitedly for the pups they think came in (only to be a bit disappointed to learn it came from the TV). I hope people understand that deaf pups do great as pets. Using hand gestures since they can’t hear and being consistent with that allows them to know exactly what you need of them. The main thing that all fosters know with all white dogs whether they hear or not, is their skin is more susceptible to sunburn than other animals. There are lotions made safe for animals that needs to be a part of their routine. I’m sure this foster told the adopted family about this. This pup was a lucky boy! It sometimes helps a hearing challenged pup to live with dogs who can help teach them to be a dog without use of hearing. However it’s not always necessary to have other dogs. Playing games to teach these dogs to use their sense of smell is a fun thing to do. Cute video!! Best of luck to this pup and his new best friends🐶❤️ This was a very cute story.

I’ve always wondered how these people can foster a dog.. I’m so glad they do it, but I could never give any of them away.

[@bararobberbaron859]

They accept a little bit of heartbreak for the sake of getting more dogs a good home. Most people/homes can't handle more than 4 dogs. If you foster, in 10 years you can give like 250 dogs a good life, or 4 dogs if you choose to keep them. It's super selfless, I couldn't do that to myself so many times that's for sure.

You can learn to give them away when you've found the perfect home for them. You'll know when it's time. Fostering is the most important job for these animals and you have to remind yourself that.
