It all began with a rescue. A s members of the Deaf Dog Mailing List and owners of three deaf dogs, Holly Newstead, her husband John, and fellow Dog Mailing List members rallied twice to help fly two deaf dogs to loving homes and away from certain death. This inspired the Newsteads to establish a non-profit organization to speak on behalf of and assist in the betterment of life for deaf dogs everywhere. A lthough deaf dogs compete in many agility and obedience competitions all over the world, there are still some kennel clubs who do not permit deaf dogs into their obedience or agility trials, the American Kennel Club for one. Inquiries about how to get involved are welcomed.
