Meet Lilly! This adorable girl is being surrender as her current owners are moving and are unable to take her with them. Lilly is a 4 year old, very sweet and gentle deaf girl who is full of wiggles and gentle kisses.  Lilly does tend to fixate on other dogs and movement, so her new home will need to work on redirecting her. We are told she has a high prey drive. Lilly lives with a cat, but her current home has worked hard to help desensitize her to their cat. She has also lived with 3 small dogs in the past and did well with them. Lilly knows a few basic commands, but has had no formal obedience training. We will be requiring her new home to take her to a basic obedience class. Lilly does have separation anxiety and will scream and have accidents if left alone in her crate. Her new home will need to work with Lilly on proper crate training and her separation anxiety. We think Lilly would benefit from the companionship of another dog, so we will be looking to place her in a home with another dog. She would also do well in a home where someone is home more often than not and in a home with a fenced in yard. Please check back for updates as we secure a foster home for this beautiful girl. 

Deaf Dogs:     Deaf dogs make wonderful companions if you are willing to make an effort to live with them successfully. Most importantly, they need to be carefully supervised and managed on leash at all times or within a confined area.  The deaf dog is not handicapped – They simply can’t hear. They do not know they are deaf. Typically, deaf dogs compensate for the lack of hearing sound by developing a stronger reliance on visual signals and on their sense of smell.
