My story

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

LIO is an easy going special needs 2 year old Australian Cattle dog terrier mix looking for a loving human companion.
He is a special boy who is deaf, but it is hard to tell because he adapts easily.
Would be best with an adopter who can be in charge and give him clear expectations of what is expected of him.
In return, you will have a loving companion, who wants to please and enjoy life with you.
Moderately active boy, who even though he is young, is not hyper or nervous.
Happy to go for walks, cuddle up on the couch, lay at your feet while you work on the computer or follow you around the yard as you garden.
He just wants love, attention (but not needy) and a soft place to lounge.
Dog friendly with female, large and small dogs who won't get 'yappy' in his face.
He would love to be your one and only, getting all of your affection.
Housetrained, with good house manners.
Crate trained, although not his favorite, he will go in, but would prefer to be laying at your feet.
Enjoys sitting in his human's lap, getting pet and belly rubs.
He enjoys treats, dog toys, long belly rubs, lounging in the pool on the steps or sunning himself in the yard.
Great car rider who likes to feel the fresh air and sunshine on his face.
Lio has had professional training learning how to walk next to his person on a leash, and has mastered commands 'sit, down, stay and off'.
Sleeps through the night in his own bed.
Has not been destructive inside or outside.
Not a big barker at all.
Has not been cat tested, so we are unable to adopt him to a home with cats or small critters.
He would be great for a family with grown children, single person or a couple.
A home with a fenced yard would be best to keep him safe.
Deaf dog experience is not required, just a good adopter, willing to be a leader and give him a loved life.
Lio is 49 lbs, neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heartworm negative and current on prevention.
Fostered in Texas, with transportation available to most U.S. states.

More about this rescue

We save precious lives! We rescue dogs that are at risk for euthanasia in shelters or owner surrenders. We bring these adoptable dogs into loving quality foster homes, attend to their needs, and then place them into their forever homes.

Our fosters families are essential to our rescue efforts! We can only save dogs when we have foster families willing to help give the dogs rescued the TLC they deserve. If you are interested in volunteering, fostering, or adopting we are happy to talk to you in detail about our rescue efforts.

When we rescue a dog and see their progress it is a celebration!
