My name is Kurtis!

**HEARING IMPAIRED**
Meet Kurtis! He is a 2 yr old male neutered Argentine Dog mix that weighs 74lbs He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 4/5 as a stray. Sweet Kurtis you can tell hasn't had the best life so far. He is underweight and appears to have lived outside as seen by scrapes and cuts on his arms. Despite his past, he is optimistic about his future. And Kurtis has a super power that makes him extra special...he is deaf. We will care for him til he finds his loving forever home. When I told him this, he had the biggest smile on his face. He may not be able to hear me say that, but by the care, affection we have shown him, he knows we will. He is a very handsome boy that walks ok on a leash, tho he pulls a bit, and takes treats gently. He walked up our stand in the yard, and raised his head up to enjoy the sunshine on his face. He doesn't appear to know any hand signals, but he would love to learn. Kurtis hopes to find his own loving family soon so he can enjoy his own secured yard to investigate and run in, but live indoors with his human companions. Tho he didn't show any interest in the other dogs in the bay, if you do have another dog in the home please be sure to ask the shelter for a dog test. If you can provide him with the special care he needs, help him learn hand signals, then he is the right pup for you!
