The Carson Animal Shelter in Los Angeles is a very busy animal shelter. Roman, a deaf dog, found himself there. He was in terrible shape. His ears were tattered, his teeth had been ground down, and his all his fur was gone (he had a skin infection). If that weren’t bad enough, he had lost his spirit.

Shelter volunteers posted his picture and hoped that someone would adopt him. Tye Friis, the founder of Reversed Rescue, stepped in to help.

Roman was taken to be a foster at Friis’s home. Friis recalls that there was an instant connection between him and Roman. Roman was very grateful for the compassion Friis showed him.

Friis was able to use hand gestures and signs to communicate with the deaf dog. Roman was very happy to have positive attention and a loving caregiver. Roman began his long journey back to health.
