Urgent Plea to Save Deaf Dog Caitlyn From Euthanasia

In a heartwarming plea for help, a volunteer at the BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas, is racing against the clock to save Caitlyn, a five-year-old deaf American Bulldog mix. Scheduled for euthanasia on May 14th, Caitlyn's fate hangs in the balance. "Caitlyn's collar is killing me," said Bristexastails, the shelter volunteer who posted the video. "She is heartworm positive and has had puppies in the past, but she was definitely an owned dog because someone cared enough to put a tag on her that says 'please be kind I am deaf I mean no harm.'" The tag reveals a poignant detail of Caitlyn's past, suggesting she was once cherished. The shelter's high intake numbers and limited space have led to a euthanasia list, prompting Bristexastails to use social media to find Caitlyn a loving home. "She's going to need a good rescue or adopter who is experienced in navigating life with a special needs dog!" she urged. BARC is accepting applications, but time is of the essence. This story underscores the urgent need for animal shelters to find homes for animals at risk. Caitlyn's story is a reminder of the importance of responsible pet ownership and the compassion needed to save animals in need.
