This list is dedicated to deaf dogs in various breeds. The Deaf Canines Network is a network of individuals who have in some way shown interest in, and/or effort, in rescue, in fostering or adopting deaf dogs of all breeds who have become homeless. Deaf Cats are welcome to post if needs. We are attempting to connect up individual rescuers, breeders, shelter officers, and concerned individuals, so that in sharing information and ideas, homeless deaf pets will benefit.

This group is strictly about rescuing, fostering or adopting a deaf dog.

For more specifics, please check out our web page listed below.

This list exists for the following purposes:

1) To post information about available deaf dogs in shelters or private homes who need a rescue or adoptive home.

2) To share information and adoption resources.

3) To post information for those who are interested in adopting or in volunteering to foster homeless deaf dogs.

4) A place to share information about potential homes or home visits.

5) To inform anyone interested in deaf dogs of any breed about the rescue efforts available on behalf of that breed.
