Boxer - Medium - Young - Female - Dog - Kenia
Description
UPDATE 05/07/09: I am having a blast at my foster home! I have so many dogs to play with and kiss on it is truly wonderful! I have learned the hand signal for sit, no, stay, come, and out. I will need a home with another hearing dog since it has truly helped my transition in myfoster home. I hope that I can find a home as fun as this one! Kenia is a reminder why puppies and dogs should NEVER be given as gifts. Kenia through no fault of her own was adopted from a shelter as a gift to someone. When the new owner found out she was deaf, they were overwhelmed and didn't have the time to spend training her. Luckily for her, she found her foster mom and was rescued instead of winding up dead as was recommended by everyone the new owner consulted. Deafness is not a reason to put an animal to sleep. Kenia is bright, fun, playful, and loving just like the other foster puppies we have. Her uniqueness is her deafness. It is a reminder to her foster mom of how precious things are. It has honestly not been any harder to have her as a foster puppy than any other puppy. We are working on hand signals (which we incorporate with our other fosters much of the time) and learning the appropriate sign language to help communicate with her. The other fosters and dogs have accepted Kenia into their pack without any problems at all. She currently weighs 28.9 lbs and is estimated to be 40 lbs full grown. She is completely crate trained and housebroken. Kenia needs someone who wants a truly special dog and who is willing to spend time and love with her to make her even better. Come see her soon!
