Our Dogs:   Harmony's Hounds - Dogs with Special Needs

Periodically special dogs come to Dogs for the Deaf, dogs who have big hearts and lots of love to give but who also have challenges to overcome. These dogs are looking for homes with people who have the time, home environment, and means necessary to provide the love and care they need to live happy and fulfilling lives.

Harmony was one such special dog. A spunky little Boston Terrier, Harmony came back to DFD when her Hearing Dog recipient could no longer provide an adequate home for her. A thorough veterinary health check resulted in Harmony being diagnosed with mast cell tumors. These were surgically removed; however, because it is not possible to know when or if the tumors will return, she could not be placed again as a Hearing Dog. Thus began the search for someone willing to provide a home for a dog who must live with an uncertain future and willing to commit to meeting any possible medical needs she might have.

Tony and Donna of California had read about Harmony in the Canine Listener and were interested in adopting her. Once they met, it was love at first sight. They took Harmony into their home and their hearts and have regularly sent us pictures and letters telling us about their adventures and how she has brightened their lives. Harmony is thriving in her new home, and Tony and Donna couldn't be happier with this new addition to their family.

Because this happy outcome is our wish for every dog with medical issues or other special needs that we are looking to find a home for, we have decided to call these special dogs "Harmony's Hounds."

Harmony's Hounds (Dogs with Special Needs) - dogs who have a special physical or emotional need and are looking for someone willing to provide a stable, loving home and any special care they might need with things like on-going medical concerns, old age, anxiety issues, allergies, and seizures. In the right, special environment, these dogs can thrive and provide lots of love.
