My story

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

Meet Debbie: Shelter Survivor, Heart Melter
She’s deaf, but she hears love loud and clear.


Debbie is a 3-year-old female cattle dog with the kind of eyes that stop you in your tracks, soft, soulful, and silently asking, “Pick me?”

She spent 712 days in the shelter. Day after day, she watched families pass her by, not understanding why she wasn’t the one. Just staring at the walls, dreaming of a soft bed, her own toy, and someone to finally choose her.

Debbie is deaf, but don’t let that fool you she listens with her heart. She also knows sign language, sit, shake, down, she's got it covered. She’s the perfect balance of cattle dog: not too high-strung, but still full of life. She loves doing zoomies in the yard and playing with her jolly ball, then curling up for some well-deserved couch time.

She’s currently living with an Aussie and two Yorkies and does great in a respectful pack. Debbie knows her boundaries and thrives when given space. she isn’t pushy, just happy to be included.

True to her breed, she does have a small prey drive and enjoys chasing squirrels and cats, so a cat-free home would be ideal.

Debbie is fully potty trained and does great in a kennel. One of her favorite parts of the day is watching her foster mom get ready in the morning she’s a loyal shadow who loves to be close. Skin care routine? She’s got your back (and your serum steps memorized).

After everything she’s been through, Debbie deserves her own forever family and her own forever bed. If you think Deb is your next best friend apply today:

Deb is being fostered in Houston Texas but is available for adoption many places around the country. The cost of transport is included in the adoption fee.
