Olaf

My story

Hello - Olaf here! I was transferred here from California to open up space for animals displaced from the wildfires that took place there. I am a handsome, fun-loving boy that loves to play! It's everything you'd want in a dog companion! I just have one unique thing about me - I'm deaf! Now, this does not stop me from being friendly, happy, and smart! In fact, I even know some sign-language! I am a big boy and get a little overexcited when I play, so I may be a bit much for small children, but I am friendly with them! I have also been involved in dog play groups in the past and did SO good! I would probably be okay with sharing my home with another pup given it's a good fit! Please don't let my inability to hear deter you from taking me home! There are so many things to love about a deaf dog! Because I rely on visual cues and body language instead of sound, I am more tuned-in to my person and am more likely to develop a stronger bond to my owner! Another great plus to having a deaf dog is no noise reactivity! Apartment living? No problem for me! I won't even hear your noisy upstairs neighbors at 3am! The ultimate reason why you should love adopting a deaf dog like me - we tend to be highly intelligent! Having to learn different forms of communication other than hearing requires more brain work which in turn, makes for a very smart pup! Please consider me if you're looking to add onto your family by four paws! It'll be a rewarding experience for both of us! I hope to meet you soon!
