Let's Have a Wondrous New Year Ahead!

Megan and her deaf cats.

Deaf Animals wish everyone a happy and safe New Year! May 2012 be a much improved year for everyone - the animals, earth and humans. 

To start the new year with a bang and keep in mind, "Do Not Buy, Adopt!" in mind, here's to this: 

If you can't adopt -

foster...

If you can't foster -

sponsor...

If you can't sponsor -

volunteer...

If you can't volunteer -

donate or transport an animal to safety...

If you can't donate -

educate, network, and crosspost...

Everyone can do something, large or small to help save a life...

Top Five Causes of 2009!

Trudy Suggs, a nationally known author and editor, has selected Deaf Animal Row as one of the top five causes for 2009, and here's what she had to say about us:

"Rescue programs or shelters caring for deaf animals: Having had two deaf dogs, I can't emphasize enough how crucial it is to rescue deaf animals, whether dogs, cats or others. Thousands of deaf animals are abandoned and killed each year simply because they're deaf – and this tugs at my heart in so many ways. Their experiences, and fate, are so similar to our experiences as a deaf community. Besides, who better to understand deaf pets than deaf people?

One such program is at Deaf Animal Row (deafanimalrow.blogspot.com). Contact your local shelter or rescue program and see if they have deaf animals needing homes or support. Then share what you can, whether it's a blanket, treats, money, or best of all, a home."

The other four listed can be found here at http://www.trudysuggs.com/2009/01/05/start-2009-with-hope/.

Thank you, Trudy, for your support and it is much appreciated! Let's join her in the cause and care for our own deaf animals!
