Deaf Dog Grace – Home Wanted<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grace is a beautiful all white 8 month old American Pit Bull Terrier. Please
\ndon\u2019t stop reading now; this dog will change your life. My husband found
\nher at the Palo DuroMeat Packing plant in Hereford. She was starving (both
\nphysically and emotionally) and came right up tohim when he called. She was
\ncovered in nasty dirt and garbage gunk and you could tell that she just
\nwanted love. He sent me a text message with a her picture attached that
\nsaid, \u201cShould I take her?\u201d My response, \u201cYES!! And feed that baby!\u201dThat
\npicture is attached to this e-mail. He brought her home and gave her a bath
\nand I had asked him when he was driving back in to Amarillo if she was deaf
\nand he said he thought so.<\/p>\n

Most people don\u2019t realize that white dogs that are not bred to specifically
\nbe white are usually deaf. Some how the genes are linked. When they got
\nhome he gave her a bath and sat in the floor to play with her until I was
\nable to make it home with more dog food (because we had ran out the night
\nbefore) and a kennel. We have two dogs ourselves, a female Boston Terrier,
\nnamed Dottie, and a female American PitBull Terrier, named Lily. Anyway, we
\nfed her small portions at a time so she wouldn\u2019tmake herself sick (and she
\nwill let you stick your hand IN the bowl of food without making a peep or
\nany hesitation. I tested this more than once since wealso have two little
\ngirls).<\/p>\n

After her belly was nice and full, we decided to introduce her to our
\nBoston. After a few sniffs and a couple odd paw movements the two were
\nrunning through the house playing like they had known each other forever. We
\nlet them calm down and put Dottie in the kennel and introduced her to our
\nPit Bull. Grace was a little more hesitant because Lily of course is bigger
\nthan Dottie but in no time at all the two became more comfortable around
\neach other and have been doing OK since then. The only issue we have had
\nbetween our dogs and Grace: Grace can\u2019t seem to sense when Lily\u2019s patience
\nis running thin and doesn\u2019t know when enough playing has been enough and
\nLily will let out a low growl (that Grace can\u2019t hear) and that is OUR
\nqueueto separate the puppies so no harm is done.<\/p>\n

Grace is becoming more use to the kennel but she still does not like it. I
\nthink she would be more comfortable with a bigger kennel but I was only able
\nto buy what was available at the time. She seems to have a lot of
\nseparation anxiety, which is completely understandable knowing what type of
\nsituation we found her in. I would prefer her to go to a home where she can
\nbe with her owners as much as possible (whether they stay at home a lot or
\nare able to train her to go places with them). Another reason I want her to
\nalways be with someone is because I do not want her leftin a yard for an
\nextended period of time for two reasons: One, If she is somehow able to
\nescape the yard, she can\u2019t hear a car horn in the road. Two, She will
\nSUNBURN, her poor nose eyelids and ear would turn to a crisp and her body
\nwould burn too. She is FULL of love and has a great big heart and loves to
\nhave her belly rubbed.<\/p>\n

She is FANTASTIC with my two children (ages 4 and 7) and is naturally
\ncurious (trying to break her habitof getting up on the cabinets to take a
\npeek around). The food we have her on seems to be doing wonders for her
\nhealth, as she already looks a million times better than before. She is
\nstill getting the hang of potty training (If you stick to a good schedule
\nshe seems to be ok but slips up every once in awhile).<\/p>\n

She has been a blessing to our home and if we only had one other dog we
\nwould not hesitate to keep her but two is enough and I would hate for
\nsomething to happen to her if I were not around to hear for her when she is
\nwith the other dogs and I want to her to get more attention then my family
\nand myself are able to provide. Please PLEASE help me find this wonderful
\ngirl a home. I know she came to us by the Grace of God to find her what she
\nneeds and I want to make sure she gets it. I love her so much (I am crying
\nas I write this), and want the best for this big ball of joy. I know my
\nheart will ache when she is gone but I know it will be for the better.<\/p>\n
