Backstory wrote:This male's pregnant mom was rescued off of the street into a loving home. She soon gave birth to several puppies- all typical merles, except for this guy. The owner feared he was a double merle and could not take care of a dog with special needs. Though he is not a double merle, the extreme piebald has caused him to be deaf in both ears.
He went through several foster homes and before ending up here, where the staff began to train him using sign language. He is a very attentive dog, always paying attention for signals and commands. It is recommended you keep him on leash when walking through unknown places so he doesn't get distracted, but he does perfectly fine walking close where he can see you and loves to retrieve! This dog is very friendly towards people and other animals, though it is recommended he is socialized with calmer kids as not to confuse him. We know you'll give him a great home!
If rehomed, post here with the username of the person you're giving them to.
