Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Zonder is the happiest dog you will EVER meet. He is almost 3 years old and is a Double Merle (bred improperly) Australian Shepherd. He is completely deaf and mostly blind. He can only respond to touch signals and knows sit, shake, lay down, move forward, and a few others. He is very independent and it’s hard sometimes to remember that he’s blind and deaf. Zonder is a complete snuggle pup. If you’re sitting down, then he’s in your lap! He’s good with all animals and people but can jump and startle small children or animals. He can walk easily on a leash and doesn’t need too much guidance (sometimes he can’t see sign poles so the leash may get tangled). He really is a happy go lucky boy and if you’re looking for a happy little snuggle pup then Zonder is your man! His best buddy is Legend who is also available for adoption. But Zonder would probably learn to depend on any other big-brother dog and/or his humans. He is fostered in Huntsville, AL, is heart-worm negative, up to date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped!
