Meet adoptable deaf Chihuahua mix puppy Rocksteady who is looking for a loving forever home with someone who will cherish him and always keep him safe.

From his rescue advocate: I am a 4 month old, 9lb Chihuahua mix. I can be a bit shy initally but I warm up so well! I am super silly and VERY affectionate once I feel comfortable. My owner got sick and thats how I ended up at the rescue!

 

If you’re looking for an adorable lap dog that is ready to go anywhere with you, I’m your guy! I love cozy beds and snuggling with my humans.

I am deaf but that actually has many benefits because I don’t hear thunderstorms, doorbells, fireworks, vacuum cleaners and other things that can scare other dogs. I sleep very soundly and can be trained with hand signals. The rescue will be sending home a Deaf Dog Tips/Resources Guide with me to help set up my new family for success.

I may never hear you call my name. I may never hear you tell me I’m a good boy. But I’ll see your smile. I’ll feel your touch. I’ll learn your hand signals. I’ll recognize you when you walk into the room. And I’ll know exactly what it means to be loved.

His adoption fee is $335 plus a $100 neuter deposit (if he is adopted before his neuter surgery in Nov. at six months of age) to a screened and approved home only. If you are interested in adopting Rocksteady, the first step would be to fill out an adoption application first to be considered for adoption here: https://cara-nc.org/dog-adoption-application/

****Anyone interested in adopting would have to come to the rescue to meet and make sure it is a good match for all before an adoption can take place.
