TN SAFETY SPOTTERS “ANIMAL FRIENDS TEACHING CHILDREN”
Featuring Lottie Dot and Izzy who are deaf therapy dogs
|
 |
Both dogs are therapy dogs. Lottie Dot earned her CGC (Canine Good Citizen) certificate, but it took her 3 times to pass the therapy dog test, only because she couldn’t hear me call her from a distance. After helping her learn to focus on me, she passed in 2006! Izzy received her CGC and passed her therapy dog test with excellent scores in April 2012. She recently started working at the VA Medical Center in Speech Pathology working with stroke patients. |

CLOVERTON THE DEAF DOG
|
 |
Cloverton became my best friend from day one. I had been looking for a “disheveled shaggy dog” at the local animal shelters and found a 9 month old, Old English Sheepdog puppy named Cloverton, who was deaf. I contacted the shelter, and they made arrangements with the foster family to bring the puppy over to my residence so we could meet. It was love at first sight, and I adopted Cloverton the next day. |

TURBO TUSKER
The almost toothless senior Jack Russell Terrier
|
 |
In January 2005, I went to the local shelter and saw this elderly Jack Russell Terrier who was 13–16 years old. He wagged his tail when I walked up to him, and it was instant love! I changed his name to Turbo after we brought him home, and he seemed to blossom.
During his first veterinary visit, we were told that he needed a dental because his teeth were in horrible condition. 27 teeth were removed. |

TOGETHER WITH TREVOR FOREVER!
|
 |
Trevor, a beautiful black Shepherd/black Lab mix puppy was chained 24/7 in a backyard, and one day the renters just moved and never came back for him. I rescued him when he was about 8 months old, and throughout the years Trevor has helped raise my son through his teen years and some of his twenties.When my son and his friends were here, Trevor could be found right in the middle of them, because to him, they were his pack! |

COMPASSION: VONN - It’s a Miracle He Survived!
8–9 month old puppy—used as a bait dog—doused with lighter fluid—
set on fire...and he lived!
|
 |
This past August, two Pit Bulls, a day apart, wandered onto the property of a good Samaritan outside of College Station, Texas, looking for a drink of water from her leaky water hose. There had been a record 60+ days of over 100°F scorching temperatures. The female, believed to be Vonn’s mother, had burns on about 20% of her body, a broken pelvis, and multiple bites, scratches, and wounds. The nice lady took “Esparanza” to her local vet who agreed to care for her. |
