Deaf veterinarians pave their own way - "A common misperception is that deaf people are lazy when they are not good at reading lips & facial expressions.

Universal Signs We proudly support Dogs for the Deaf (DFD)! Rescuing homeless dogs and professionally training them to enhance lives is what Dogs for the Deaf is all about. In over 30 years, Dogs for the Deaf has rescued and placed over 3,000 dogs in homes as Hearing Dogs, Miracle Mutts (Special Dogs for Special People), Harmony's Hou...nds (Dogs with Special Needs), and Career Change Dogs. http://www.dogsforthedeaf.org/ Hearing Dogs are chosen from animal shelters. Many shelters must euthanize dogs if no homes are found for them. By using shelter dogs, DFD are able to help alleviate some of the unwanted dog population by rescuing these dogs. Once trained, they are placed in loving homes where they provide valuable and even life saving benefits.
