Poor Juneau has been dealt one blow after another thanks to heartless guardians. First, she was born the result of an unethical double merle breeding that left her deaf and with some congenital eye anomalies. (Luckily she can see anyway!) Then, she was either abandoned or dumped on a country highway where she couldn't even hear the oncoming traffic. Now she is safe in rescue foster care, ready to devote herself to her lucky adopter. But first she has to find someone who sees the wonderful dog behind the physical “flaws”.

Welcome, Juneau!

This big, sweet, wonderful Aussie puppy was found wandering the highway alone about 6 weeks ago by a Good Samaritan. She is deaf and visually impaired but also smart, loving, friendly, and devoted. We welcomed her into our Foster Home on Friday and she has gotten along very well with everyone here including multiple other dogs, cats, & kids.

Juneau is crate trained, and we have spent this week working on the other basics: housebreaking, hand signals, etc. She is a super smart girl: it only took one lesson before she learned how to "go to bed" (from outside to the crate in our bedroom).

We recently lost our own double merle deaf Aussie so we know first hand what wonderful pets these dogs can be and and we are excited about helping another sweet girl find her very own Forever Family!
