Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Daikon is a very sweet and chill 7–8-year-old, 43lb female being fostered in Washington DC in the Mt Pleasant neighborhood. She is a double merle who is deaf and may have some vision
impairment but is perfect in every way!
Daikon is originally from SW Virginia but has adjusted very well to DC city life. She was with a temp foster for 3 weeks and got along
well with the other dogs, cats and 3 kids under 5 years old. She gets along well with her foster brother too.
Daikon is very chill and loves to be near her people. She rides in the car very nicely. She is well behaved in the house and does not try to get into anything.
Daikon is 100% potty trained and would prefer to sleep in bed with her people but will also sleep in the crate. She loves hiking and getting all the new sniffs but is also content to sleep all day at my feet while I work from home.
She would be the perfect companion to a family with kids, single work from home or retired folks.
Daikon is not a dog who will thrive being alone all day. A fenced yard is best so that she has a
safe place to be off leash. Daikon is looking for a special home where her new owners would be willing to spend time to work with her daily. She is very smart and will do well with hand/sign language training. An adopter with deaf dog experience is preferred, but not
mandatory.
If Daikon sounds perfect for you,please fill out our application:
There is an additional $20 microhip fee which includes registration and transfer to her new family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.
