June 2026 was a bit on the slow side for rescue sponsorships with all our partner rescues very full from the May 2026 deaf dog intakes.
The core mission of our Deaf Dogs Rock Rocker Dog/Puppy Rescue sponsorship program is to set up each deaf dog or puppy for success by networking and sponsoring them into a experienced special needs rescues where they can go into a experienced deaf dog foster homes. The foster homes are committed to training and socializing each deaf dog that comes into their care before they are available for adoption. This way, each foster advocate gets the opportunity to live with the deaf pup 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 when it comes to finding the right home for that particular deaf dog. We donate to our partner rescues to ensure each deaf dog is fully vetted before they go to a new home (spayed/neutered). We have seen many deaf dogs go on to become valued therapy partners.
It takes a thoughtful and giving tribe of animal lovers to support Deaf Dogs Rock to continue to carry out our mission of helping one deaf shelter dog at a time. Deaf Dogs Rock spends between $2500 and $4000.00 each month on Deaf Dogs Rock Rocker Dog/Puppy Rescue sponsorships. 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.
If you would like to donate in honor of a person, your deaf dog or in memory of one of your pets, you can send us a photo for our Honor/Memory Wall and donate here.
Every single day on our Deaf Dogs Rock FB page you will see us put up Rescue plea posts and offer of rescue sponsorship funding for each deaf dog in need hoping to find rescues who can take the deaf and deaf/blind pups. We share deaf and deaf/blind dogs that are currently be held in shelters across the country trying to get deaf dogs out of over crowded shelters before they are euthanized to make space for more intakes. Sometimes a deaf dog who is surrendered only has a day or two for the opportunity to be pulled by a reputable foster based rescue. For this reason you will see our organization Deaf Dogs Rock offer $250-$300 (urgent medical can go up to $400 to $500) rescue sponsorship on almost every rescue plea we post up on our Deaf Dogs Rock FB page. By offering a rescue sponsorship we encourage rescues to help a deaf dog in need. Without the financial sponsorship offers to help with each deaf dog’s vetting expenses, many of the deaf shelter dogs would parish and surely die within a few days.
Deaf Dogs Rock works directly with shelters, rescues, sanctuaries, private individuals, and breeders to help get each deaf puppy into our Rocker Dog/Puppy Rescue sponsorship program and into rescue. By doing so, each deaf pup gets the individual training, vetting, 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 and deaf/visually impaired dogs and puppies get a fresh start and a chance at a great life.
When our rescue partners screen potential new homes for a deaf dog/puppy, each 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 Dog/Puppy Rescue Sponsorship program is so important to get the deaf dog out of the shelter (or from an individual) and help our partner rescues set up each deaf pup for a successful happy life in their new home. We do this by helping each rescue with vetting expenses so each puppy ends up in a rescue that specifically advocates for them and fully vets each special needs pup. Our Rocker Dog/Puppy Rescue 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 (unless they are Great Danes or Dalmatians which need to done after 12 months of age). We also offer each rescue courtesy adoption listings to be posted on our national website at Deaf Dogs Rock by targeting experienced deaf dog homes looking to add a new deaf dog to their families.
Our amazing Deaf Dogs Rock community sponsored another 4 deaf dogs/pups into rescue (and one hearing boxer girl) in May, 2026. So far just starting off 2026, our Deaf Dogs Rock community have sponsored 75 deaf dogs and puppies (and one hearing dog) into the safe harbor of partner rescues. Since the beginning of our Rocker Dog/Puppy Program several years ago, Deaf Dogs Rock has sponsored 1893 deaf dogs into rescue (as of 06/30/26).
Below is our June 2026 Deaf Dogs Rock Rocker Puppy/Dog Rescue Sponsorship recaps….

Thanks to our friends at Speak for the Unspoken we were able to get these three safely into rescue. Both Dozer and Denali are deaf boxer puppies and also with their mother Hailey, they are now all three safe and in foster homes. All three will be recipients of our Nitro’s Fund set up to sponsor deaf boxers into the safe arms of rescue so they can all be vetted, get additional training and socialization while potential homes are being properly screened for them.
Cagney and Lacy – Speak Rescue and Sanctuary MO
Our friends at Speak Rescue and Sanctuary rescued two 8 week old Double Merle Aussie sisters from an “opps” litter.
From our friend at Speak Rescue and Sanctuary: Cagney and Lacey, two 8‑week‑old double merle Aussie sisters. These girls were yet another pair born with impairments due to an “oops” litter — the neighbor’s determined merle Aussie found his way to the owner’s merle female, and, well… it doesn’t take detectives to solve that mystery.
But Cagney and Lacey aren’t dwelling on the past. These adorable little investigators are ready to use their super abilities, sharp instincts, and unstoppable spirit to uncover something truly life‑changing: forever families who will love them exactly as they are. People who will cherish their quirks, celebrate their strengths, and give them the bright futures they deserve.
Both Cagney and Lacy are recipients of our Deaf Dogs Rock Rocker Puppy Rescue Sponsorship to help the rescue with their upcoming vetting to get them ready for adoption and their new families.
Thanks to all of you who continue to support our mission to help one deaf dog or puppy at a time. We so appreciate your kind consideration and support. ~ Christina Lee – Deaf Dogs Rock
