I am her 10th home in two years and she is only 2 years old. I have had her just under four months. She is currently over-coming a nervous break down due to previous ill treatment.

 Ollie |
Town: Birmingham, England Deaf dog: Ollie Dalmatian/Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Ollie is a white Dalmatian cross with brown spotty ears and a very curly tail. We bought Ollie from the Birmingham Dogs Home not knowing that he was deaf. We realised the next day because he loves being vaccuumed! He relies on our other dog a lot but he is starting to learn hand signals slowly. It is very difficult not to spoil him becuase he is such a lovely dog. Ollie was a stray and had been in the Dogs Home for 4 months where he had been placed with many families but returned after one day Human companions: Lizzy Darbyshire,Janice, Mike and Jenny Other pets: Penny (Whippet cross) and Mimic (a guinea pig) Email: Barmybrum@aol.com |
