Name:  Beau

Sex:  Male (not altered)

Age: 6 weeks

Breed:  Catahoula / Blue Heeler

Location:  Warner, OK

Vet Info: Vet confirms Beau can see only shadows.  Beau has not had any vaccines and is not neutered.  Beau weighs 2 pounds. 

Owner Info: Beau was born on a farm in a litter of 8 puppies. His owners brought him home for their children but knew right away that he was blind.  He was meant to be an outdoor dog and is unable to live the life they had planned, nor are they able to give him the attention he needs.   He is playful and energetic and learning to be housetrained.  They are hoping for rescue placement so Beau can have a chance at a wonderful life.     

Echo-Adopted

Name: Echo
Age: 9 years (estimated)
Sex: Female (altered)
Breed: Bichon Frise Mix
Location: Houston, Texas area

Vet Info: Echo is confirmed spayed and up to date on vaccines including influenza. Her next rabies vaccine is due 2/20/14.  They were unable to confirm HW status but she is receiving Heartgard. She is currently boarding at the vet's.

Owner Info: Echo is a beautiful and sweet little girl who was abandoned in a back yard when her owners moved.   A good samaritan brought her to a vet where she was picked up by a rescue volunteer.  The volunteer was told Echo's right eye is completely gone and her left eye has advanced retina degeneration.  The pressure is fine in both eyes and the rest of her health is good.  The rescue has been unable to find a foster home for Echo and they've not had success in the past finding homes for blind dogs, so they are hopeful Echo will be able to be placed with another rescue so that she can have the life she deserves.  When they first got Echo she was very scared and starving.  She had been chased for blocks by a man and so was defensive and did snap, but she has settled down quickly!  They say she "now loves to be handled and gives kisses"!  She is not possessive of toys, treats, or food.  She has been walked with other dogs and is fine, and the vet's office also says she gets along with other dogs.  She even seems like she wants to play with some dogs!  As Echo is boarding at the vet's, they are unsure if she is housebroken, but she is leash trained.  Echo is a very sweet and adorable little girl!

Khen - Urgent

Name: Khen
Age: 11 years
Breed: Lethal White Aussie
Sex: Male (altered)
Location: Young, AZ

Vet info: Khen is confirmed neutered and is up to date on vaccines.  He is heartworm negative.  Khen weighs 78 pounds.

Owner Info: Khen's sanctuary has closed and he is in desperate need of placement.  He is an outdoor dog with a fenced yard, he is not yet housebroken, but is leash trained.  He is a nervous dog, but he is good with both men and women, and he is in good health.   He can be food aggressive and human aggressive, but he is progressing!!  He went from not be able to be petted to now accepting pets with a calm person. He is responding well to walking on a leash now and wasn't a short time ago.  Khen is looking for a very special person to work with him and understand his needs.  His owner writes, "Khen is making good progress w some extra volunteer help. He is walking on a leash and he can be pet!! He can change his behaviors with the right amount of care & love. Please consider helping find a home asap!"

From his original post so you can see the progress Khen has made: Khen is a beautiful Lethal White Aussie, born blind and deaf. Please help!!! Khen is in urgent need of a special Angel either directly or thru a rescue that will take his special needs and temperament into consideration when working with him! He was born blind and deaf. He is quite neurotic. He barks at the ground constantly. He can be human aggressive if one touches around his head. He is food aggressive. Will walk on a leash when one can get the leash on him.
Every dog deserves a chance to belong to a loving family, we want Khen to get that chance! Please help!!!

Update 6/5/2013: Khen is VERY, VERY URGENT! We just heard that he is still at the sanctuary which is closing and he is not making much progress with his behavior because they only have two volunteers - the volunteers don't have the time to work with him.  Khen needs and deserves someone who will help him continue to make progress, and give him love and a forever home!

Update 7/21/13 - Here is another plea for Khen, whose sanctuary is now closing soon!  He really needs a home and someone who will take some time with him, to help him continue to make progress!

Update 11/27/13: Khen is still living outside, still waiting for a forever home!!

Update 4/13/14: Khen has been waiting for a forever home for a year now. Please share his information!!! He is so tired of waiting!

Update 11/19/14: Khen is still living outside​ & doing ok. Several other dogs have been adopted but unfortunately Khen needs someone with a special heart.  Please see if someone could take him. Another cold winter is upon those still remaining.

Update 5/4/2016: Not much has changed except we need Khen to finally go somewhere! We can no longer keep any of dogs there. We can offer some support for whoever takes him. Please help us because he isn't mean or aggressive, just will startle when touched around the face unexpectedly. But he can be walked on leash. He is unpredictable which I'd understandable given his condition. Really needs a special place. Thanks for any assistance.

Gunner - In Foster Care

Name: Gunner

Breed: Australian Shepherd

Age: 3 1/2 months (DOB 12/25/12)

Sex: Male (not altered)

Location: About an hour northwest of Columbus, Ohio

Vet Info: Gunner is due for his third puppy booster vaccines and rabies vaccine on 4/27/13, so he is currently up to date on his vaccines.  Gunner is not neutered and no hw test has been done.  Gunner weighs 20 pounds. 

Owner Info: Gunner is an adorable puppy who is deaf and visually-impaired (his owners were told he has an eye anomaly and his retinas are abnormal).  His owners are not able to provide the training and safe surroundings that Gunner needs due to their life situation, so they are hoping for rescue placement for sweet Gunner.  They write, "We love Gunner and would like to find him a home that is a better fit." Gunner is an outdoor dog with a fenced yard, he is not yet housebroken or leash trained.  He is also working on "sit" and "down"!  Gunner is good with adults and he's wonderful with their two children, ages 5 and 3.  He has not been around other dogs or cats.  He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has never shown any aggression.    His owner writes, "I think that he adapts well. I have noticed that as long as I am touching him or petting him, the transition is much easier. Gunner is very lovey. So as long as he is loved, he will be fine".   They add that he is a great dog! 

Tula - Staying With Owner

Name: Tulita (Tula)

Age: Estimated 1 1/2 years

Breed: Labrador / Husky Mix

Sex: Female (altered)

Location: Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada

Vet Info: Tula is confirmed spayed.  She was due for rabies and 5 in 1 vaccines on 2/22/13.  They have no record of heartworm testing.  Tula takes Prednisone regularly.  Tula weighs 45 pounds.

Owner Info: Tula is a rescued dog who was found almost frozen to death in -25 degree temperatures. As a result, she suffered damage to her peripheral vision. Her vision straight ahead appears fine; however, the vet tested her peripheral vision and found she did not respond at all to the tests. Tula's owner says that Tula is a sweetheart and they love her to bits; however, she is not a suitable match for their home, which has four children, and they are afraid of what might happen. Because of Tula's impaired peripheral vision, sudden movements at the side of her head startle her.  This is likely why she startles at things she does not see approaching her from the sides. Tula is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained.  Tula knows the commands "sit", "stay" and "come" - sometimes!  She is good with both men and women.  She has played aggressively with their other dog, and her owner writes, "Tula is nervous when meeting new dogs. After the initial meeting (a couple minutes), she generally ignores other dogs; however, she defensively snaps at them when they come into her "space" when she first meets them. She has also snapped at people on a few occasions, when they have surprised her from the side (where she cannot see well). Two of her "snaps" have broken skin. Both were defensive, not aggressive."  They add that "she is generally happy and excited about most things/new experiences. She loves the outdoors and being active.Tula is very healthy and full of energy. She would make someone a wonderful running, biking or skijoring partner. I do not think she is suitable for our family, which includes small children. She loves people! Though, sometimes she is a bit shy, when first meeting men. Tula will be an AWESOME dog for someone. She just is not suitable for our family; however, we have had a wonderful year with her."

Update 5/25/2013: Due to personal circumstances, Tula's owner is unable to keep her for much longer.  Tula's owner is willing to pay for Tula's flight to a legitimate 501c3 rescue, so please don't let distance be a factor!
