Deaf Pets Awareness Week | Petside
Did you know that last week was Deaf Pets Awareness Week?
Each year, the last full week in September (meaning from Sunday until Saturday) is dedicated to raising awareness about deaf pets. Despite the disability, brought on from a birth defect, some sort of ear injury or naturally from aging, these pets provide no less love and loyalty than any other pet. What's more is that deaf pets are incredibly special; the fact that they rely on humans for some navigational help only works to intensify the animal-human relationship between man and canine.
This year, Deaf Pets Awareness Week was celebrated in conjunction with "Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable Pet Week", which celebrates "less adoptable" but no less adorable pets. Being deaf is one qualification that can lead to the label of "less adoptable", which in general means some factor that affects a pet's chances for adoption.
Have you had any experience with either a deaf pet or a "less adoptable" pet? Let us know in a comment!
