My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Soldier is a very special boy and rescue favorite!

Soldier came to us at 3 weeks of age after being found abandoned on a South Dakota reservation. Soldier's body temperature had dropped to a dangerous level. He was a very sick little puppy, but quickly settled into rescue and blossomed.

Soldier suffers from complete hearing loss, but he doesn't let that stop him. He enjoys fetch, is walking well on a leash, and is learning several hand commands. He is just beginning training with use of a vibration collar to aid his disability. This loving little pup will be a great addition to an active home. Because of Soldier's disability, he will require a home that has a fully fenced in yard and a patient home to continue his training.
