​@rockykanaka there's a short I've watched where someone fostered/adopted one American bull dog puppy (pit bull?) And then a second pit bull puppy, both blind, and one thing she did was put hula hoop on them - attached in some way to their harness - so that they wouldn't bump into walls or whatever.

I’m a senior citizen and really can not afford to own a dog because of the cost of food and health care. I have found the perfect solution for me…I foster small dogs from my local rescue center. The dogs I foster usually have a health issue or need longer to recover from surgery and I’m their quiet recovery place. My 1st foster was a 10 year old Miniature Pinscher who had heart worms and she was with me five months and recovered and was adopted. Fostering is an excellent way to help your local rescue group and it’s so rewarding.

[@jenniferb.9404]

I love this! Forever fosters also give the animal a safe loving home, while the foster does not have prohibitive expenses to deal with an elderly or chronically ill pet! Perfect *WIN-WIN* situation!

You are a doll! Thank you for providing this and advocating for it.

[@Ginasgusa]

I do emergency fosters. Usually they are with me between 2 weeks to 2 months, no longer coz I do too much traveling. The pure bred dogs get adopted fairly quickly but the mixed breed usually takes longer. My current foster is a 8 months old sweet boy who is extremely loving and sweet. I am always heart broken when they leaves. Cried lots but I gotta let them go no matter how wonderful they are and how much I love them. My job is to heal them physically and mentally with lots of love and attention. Please spare some time to help a life. It is just a few weeks or months but you would have save a life. Respect fosters coz the emotional up and down is torturing, loving them and then letting them go is extremely hard.

[@jimclayson]

@@asterismos5451 Touch commands, I imagine, since visual and audio commands are useless. With a harness and a lead, dogs can pick up on a lot of body language. A light tap or pressure on the lower back to indicate "sit," a slight pull on the lead for "come/follow," and the like. Some things might require more context for the dog to understand, but you should be able to get the basics across with a little time, patience, and positive reinforcement. Having a second dog to help get the message across would be very helpful, as they can pick up the commands the impaired dog misses and guide them with their bodies and touch... and the comfort to them of having another dog around for companionship is immeasurable.

I fostered him, but it was really after only a week or so that I knew in my heart I wouldn't be able to let him go. He's just turned three and living his best life.

She's double Merle, right? explanation: There's a special recessive gene for a coat pattern that is called Merle, and it's extremely popular. The problem is that when a puppy has two copies of that gene, they often come out completely white and deaf. So, in many countries it is forbidden to breed two carriers of this gene together, because that means a high chance of a portion of the puppies being born double Merle. Of course, with the Merle pattern being so popular, as a "commercial" unethical breeder, you care more about turning out those Merle dogs than about having to discard (kill) some puppies. In this case it's even worse: They had a double Merle puppy, white, deaf and blind, and then used her as a breeder. Because when you breed her to a non-merle male dog, all the puppies will have the Merle pattern! This is cruelty for profit....

[@megansikorra2892]

oh that's fascinating... and horrible.

[@Andreas-gh6is]

Another trick to know an animal is deaf: Talk in a normal voice around the animal for a while (works best with multiple people) then on a signal, everyone stops talking. Usually an animal will then cock their ears or show some kind of "WTF reaction" (technical term...).

This beautiful dog deserves a loving forever home. Poor baby, her crying is so heartbreaking. She is still trusting of people despite her situation. I pray she will get adopted into a loving forever home. 🙏🏽🥰🐕

[@user-qd5pl5pk2h]

So sad for that dog. 3yrs old and blind and deaf. She deserves a home with family who would good care of her.

[@abacab87]

My dog was deaf and seeing impaired, completely blind the last couple years. He was the best dog ever, I would have gladly signed up for 60 more years of caring for that dog.

[@user-gx7rn6jn7o]

Bats aren't blind. They see well with their echolocation, and poorly with their eyes. Your work is wonderful! ❤❤❤

[@alpharogers2]

She looks like a smart and affectionate dog even she has disabilities. I have a blind dog, too and she relies on sniffing and hearing. That dog is deserving a good home. ❤

[@rockykanaka]

Agree! Thank you

[@renayeriggin5293]

The best thing for this dog would be an adoption by someone that already has a dog without disabilities that would be her best friend and her “eyes and ears” for her.

[@kgarza221]

Hope this girl gets a forever home. I see a few people in the comments who would love to have her but i truly hope she gets a loving family soon.

[@leahsmall4644]

Her temperament is lovely. She's going to be easy and a joy to care for despite her disabilities.

[@r.bellbottom8964]

We adopted a senior deaf dog several years ago. She broke my heart-found wandering the streets, someone had clearly dumped her. Bless the shelter (Escondido Humane Society in So. Cal) for saving her and for her foster mom. I still miss her so many years later. 2 of our 3 dogs (all single adoptions over 20 years) were seniors who’d been abandoned probably due to their age. Seniors are THE BEST dogs ever! Please save a senior life-yes, you will not have them as long as puppies or young dogs, but they know they’ve been saved and savor their last years in love. They are SPECIAL. You will have no regrets-be a hero. Miss you, my lovely Millie Moo! ❤

[@kariay50]

Well said 🫶🏻

[@Immort4llity]

I already commented it on another comment but my dog became blind and deaf when he was 11 years old and he was so incredibly sweet then and loved cuddling. Senior dogs really are so special and loving.

[@myfella11]

She has so much love in her💕🦴

[@cynthiawoods883]

She seemed to hear faintly! What a sweetheart! A great dog! I love her! Once they get used to a home they maneuver just fine!

[@Thomahawk1234]

I thought the same thing. Her left ear might be not fully deaf. But she might be reacting with her other senses.

[@hennakettunen8755]

Poor baby, she looks so sweet from the very first moment! Please tell me she's got her new, loving home who deserves her! 🙏🙏🙏

[@mindyhudson5796]

Bobcat kittens have more of a growl meow sound. Those are stray kittens that are scared. Beautiful Blind deaf dog. My parents had a dalmatian who was deaf. Lived to be 12 years old. Miss her. Such a good doggo. Deaf dogs feel by vibration. She can feel you snapping by her ear or stomping.

[@judih.8754]

Definitely not Bobcats!

[@Scarpza]

They don't look like bobcat kittens either. Bobcat kittens have ear tufts and bobbed tails. No sure why they thought those were bobcats. Maybe it was some kind of joke that didn't land...

[@KayEl58]

She's used to being surrounded with other dogs, her siblings. Not only blind and deaf but suddenly deprived of the contact with other dogs that she's used to. Unbearably sad situation. She's so super sweet and loving, she needs loads of physical contact so I hope she's adopted soon, preferably by a family with another dog.

[@elizabethperry9092]

She's the sweetest pooch in the world. 😍😍😍

[@aspiringastronaut9992]

You are a wonderful person. The world needs more people like you.

[@whitneykelley3580]

Definitely domesticated kittens there! The ears are the dead giveaway - the points on bobcats looks like a black rose thorn sticking up from the ear, and the back edge of the ear is rimmed with black. Those scared babies have normal kitten ears. Things that are harder to tell because there’s more overlap with domestic cats - if these were bobcats, the tail would be shorter, the jaw/jowl more prominent, and they’d have spots instead of stripes. Sissy is such a sweetheart. Hoping there’s updates soon!

[@nanakatz1492]

Thanks, I was stumped as to where they are supposed to look like bobcats! 😅

[@dogfostermom2018]

My first foster dog was a 4-year old blind dog found running on the highway. My third foster was a 7 month old, totally deaf and blind who came from a shelter (all the siblings were deaf he was the only one deaf and blind.) He was fearless, ran until he hit the wall or his whiskers felt something. He had the perimeter of the yard figured out in just a couple of hours. They both got amazing homes and are living their best life.

[@vilowil]

Bless you

[@susanroffman1612]

What an encouraging post. Thx!

[@clarebennett7946]

Someone is going to be very blessed having her 🥰♥️

[@nunyabizniz1983]

This made me cry so hard. Those whines were her acknowledgment of her knowing someone’s acknowledged her 😭😭😭 looks like she’s been bred from too. Poor girl. I hope she gets the most amazing home. I’d have her but I’m in the UK 😭😭😭

[@bettyannerisley943]

I adopted a blind Bull Mastiff.He was the most beautiful and gentle giant ever.😊

[@leeandmandybattersby5958]

This is a dog that breaks my heart . I have had a 15 year old deaf and a 13 year old blind dog but imagine a dog that is both deaf and blind being in a shelter .. poor baby i hope she gets a good home

[@shaunasugar]

She is so sweet!!!! Man I love her, she’s adorable

[@julievanderleest]

Now all of us are going to be snapping by our dogs’ ears to test their hearing.☺️ What a sweet dog. Currently I’m recovering from medical complications but when I’m better, I hope to volunteer with dogs. I live near you guys too. Would love to volunteer.

[@Yogitarot1111]

Aww how can no one want such a love bug!? She’s crying for love and attention and affection. She deserves it all. Horrible to abandon a deaf and blind dog 😢

[@RatdogDRB]

She doesn't know she's blind/deaf. She only knows what she smells, tastes, and feels. I'd surmise that it needs to be known whether or not she knows what stairs are and how to negotiate them. Sweet girl. A gentle companion animal would really benefit her as well.

[@weirdhousewivesclub]

what a sweet girl, I hope she finds a home where she'll find so much love. despite everything she's been through, she's friendly and just wanting love!

[@gerardguida7727]

What a little Sweetheart 😍.... she was just yearning to be held❤...

[@blumberg1982]

She can use her nose and she can feel the vibrations in the floor when you walk to her.

[@morganvoorhees5067]

Her crying is breaking my heart😢 ❤

[@timsimmons9995]

Breaks my heart, so much cruelty in the world. Thank you to everyone who treats animals with kindness. Someone, please adopt this sweet baby!

[@nightowl5475]

This poor dog is whimpering because she had a hard life. My heart goes out to this poor animal. She just needs love. It’s a shame. This would be a great pet to a loving owner. If I didn’t have 2 dogs I’d love to take this dog. I love dogs and this animal is so sweet. I hope she gets a good home real soon! ❤

[@junepearl7993]

Imagine how happy she was to have Rocky come and snuggle her and keep her company. She wasn’t alone anymore.

[@judygibson760]

She was so happy to find you!! Melted my heart!!

[@kristineteall368]

To hear her cry and paw and the door wanting desperately to find her people, is so heartbreaking. I’ve owned deaf and blind dogs, and they are the most loving animals, and they absolutely live full happy lives!

[@samanthaorologio6866]

This was so so so so SO SO SOOOO incredibly hard to watch for me. This poor poor PRECIOUS SWEET AMAZING WONDERFUL INNOCENT baby girl love baby girl sister girl. I wish I could take her and change and make her entire life AS AMAZING as she deserves it to be. How. How does anyone let any of this happen to her. I can’t even Begin to imagine how scared she’s been for how long. Poor poor baby girl.

[@candacedolan4857]

It's pretty amazing how dogs adapt. She looks to be very energetic and probably needs a younger family that matches her energy. I know you will find her the best forever home. Prayers for this sweet girl.

[@IbelongtoJesus.]

So, you know the animal is blind, cannot see, and deaf, cannot hear ? How is that a good life. Maybe with an elderly, disabled person, but not an energetic family with children. It's more selfish to keep the animal just to have it alive.

[@candacedolan4857]

@@IbelongtoJesus. Well, I disagree. She's full of energy and would do well with a like-minded family. She would be too much for an elderly or disabled individual. She's made it thus far and in a good forever home she should excel.

[@shiningstar5919]

You belong to Jesus? What a comment. What do you know. Gee whiz​@@IbelongtoJesus.

[@tonytrumble]

She is such a gentle dog. She is definitely blind and deaf but she's handling it well. Obviously she's been that way for a while. She's definitely lacking attention because when you showed her attention she was whining for it when you left her alone. I have a 100% deaf gog and he's night blind. He's an old man because he's a 17 year old pitbull I rescued 15 years ago

[@brendab3422]

Sissy doesn't know any difference because she was born that way. She doesn't know that this isn't the way things aren't suppose to be. Bless her heart for the 3 years that she has had and that she's so happy. I pray that someone soon will have a loving heart, like Sissy, and give her the best home ever. Good luck to you Sissy and to your new owners.

[@kelslo74]

I cried so much, I would take her in a heartbeat but we are across the country 😢 She needs LOTS of love and hugs! 🐶❤️

[@Brauiz90]

😮 blind and deaf? She realy needed this session with you so she knows you're there for her to have a good time

[@rockykanaka]

I think you are right. Thank you 🤙

[@gigid9606]

When i was playing your video,my adopted dog hearing the happy cries of this dog looked up to see who was crying. God bless what u are doing for these dogs❤

[@lobo1368]

Ours too😂

[@merriannmaris8381]

My dog also is hearing her cries and looks very concerned

[@parislove616]

All 3 of mine too,,, 😆🐶🐶🐶

[@falictyelliott8752]

The sweet girl I have te pleasure of doggy-sitting a fair bit, is laying on my bed while I logged on this morning. As soon as Rocky began sitting/connecting with dear sweet Sissy - being deaf and blind - I guess she can't actually hear herself whining/crying - every time Sissy cries, my friend's dog sits straight up looking concerned, looking for the sad doggy she can hear crying with Rocky. It's SO SWEET

[@susanlee8023]

Mine too

[@crispinmcsticks]

Honestly can’t begin to imagine how isolated this poor baby has to feel in a shelter. 😢

[@Chinadoll4214]

Oh what a precious girl, my heart 💔 She's just an angel I hope someone scoops her up and keeps her forever.
