Thank you to all of our supporters who donated to Deaf Dogs Rock in the month of November 2021 to keep our mission going! Our Deaf Dogs Rock community has sponsored 16 deaf dogs/pups into rescue and TWO deaf dog medical sponsorship in the month of November 2021. So far this year our awesome Deaf Dogs Rock community/supporters has sponsored a total of 203 deaf dogs into rescue so far in 2021 which is fantastic!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing to support our mission to save one deaf dog at a time. We also want to give a huge shout out and THANK YOU to every single person and company who donated to Deaf Dogs Rock on #GivingTuesday 2021.
It takes a tribe of animal lovers to support Deaf Dogs Rock to continue to carry out our mission. If you would like to help sponsor a deaf dog out of a kill shelter into the safe arms of rescue, please click here to Donate.
The core mission of our Deaf Dogs Rock Rocker Puppy sponsorship program is to set up each deaf puppy/deaf dog for success by sending them into a experienced special needs rescue where they go into a experienced deaf dog foster homes who are committed to training and socializing each deaf dog that comes into their care. This way, each foster advocate gets the opportunity to live with the deaf dog for awhile, work with the deaf dog, and accurately evaluate each deaf dog/puppy to make sure the organization makes the very best match for each deaf dog with the right home once the adoption screening process starts.
Deaf Dogs Rock works with shelters, rescues, private individuals, and breeders to help get each deaf puppy into our Rocker Puppy sponsorship program and into rescue. By doing so, each deaf pup gets the individual training, socialization, and TLC to grow up to become a cherished member of society. Deaf Dogs Rock is a judgement free zone and our number one priority will always be to help deaf dogs and puppies get a fresh start and a chance at a great life.
When screening potential homes for a deaf dog/puppy, each partner rescue has a specific set of guidelines to follow when considering a new home for example like checking all references, talking to the applicant’s veterinarian, and performing a thorough home visit to make sure each home is a safe place for a deaf or deaf/blind dog. This is why our Deaf Dogs Rock Rocker Puppy is so important to set up each deaf pup for a successful happy life in their new home. Our Rocker Puppy sponsorship program financially sponsors deaf dogs/puppies so each pup can be vaccinated and spay/neutered before they are adopted to a new family. We only work with rescue partners and advocacy organizations who are committed in making sure each deaf pup is spay/neutered before being placed in a new home. If you would like to donate to our Rocker Puppy sponsorship program, please click here.
Our amazing Deaf Dogs Rock community sponsored 16 deaf dogs/pups in November 2021 which is a huge accomplishment in a struggling economy.
Thanks to the financial support of our loyal Deaf Dogs Rock community, D.D.R. can continue to help deaf dogs in need. So far since our start of our Deaf Dogs Rock Rocker Puppy sponsorship program we have sponsored 1076 deaf dogs (as of 11/30/21) into rescue.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! ~ Christina Lee

Hercules – Vegas Pet Rescue Project (VPRP)
When we heard about deaf dog Hercules being used as a bait dog, we knew we had to help with his medical expenses. The one thing we worry all the time about is when people are rehoming their deaf dogs is that they might end up in the wrong hands and end up being used as bait dogs. It seems that is the horror poor Hercules has been through. Hercules was rescued by Vegas Pet Rescue Project and rushed to the vet where he was well cared for. He will be a recipient of Nitro’s Fund to help with his medical expenses. A huge shout out to the Vegas Pet Rescue Project for taking Hercules into their rescue and getting him immediate emergency medical treatment.
Here is a photo of Hercules leaving the vet clinic and heading to his medical foster who will take good care of him.

This little one will be a recipient of our Deaf Dog Rock Rocker Puppy Sponsorship program to help pay for some of his vetting expenses. Thanks to our supporter Bethany H. who made a generous donation to Deaf Dogs Rock so we can continue to sponsor deaf puppies like this little mini Aussie puppy.
Update on this little boy. The tiny deaf Aussie puppy was having major seizures and a liver shunt was discovered. Because of the multiple seizures the vet and the rescue decided to let this little one go so the puppy would not continue to suffer. This pup was surrounded by a team of people who loved him and only had his best interests at heart. We are so sorry for their loss.
