Sweet, deaf Clancy went to a loving new home in Helena today. Rich and Aletha M. came out to meet Clancy, fell in love with him (just as we expected!), and took him home this morning.
Rich and Aletha have had terriers for years, and recently lost their Glen of Imaal terrier Clancy (yes, same name). Our deaf Clancy looks a lot like a Glen of Imaal, a rare breed from Ireland, even though we know he's just a little terrier mix from the Bitterroot! So when Aletha saw Clancy on the Web, somehow she knew it was meant to be.
They do intend to change Clancy's name, which we assured them was no problem at all for a deaf dog! In fact, his name had been 'Spud' before he came here. For some reason he never seemed to notice we changed it.

I really think he's cute! What a great thing to do. Bravo to Rolling Dog Ranch, keep up the good work.

Clancy, You are an absolute cutie! I can understand why Rich and Aletha picked you as their furry kid!

What a blessed gift for everyone!
A new home; new love; new family member and a new opportunity for another dog in need to have a future home at RDR. YEAH!
