My story

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

Name: Elphie
Male or female : Female
Approximate age: 3 years
Breed: Aussie mix
Weight: 35 pounds
Any impairments: blind and deaf
Potty trained : Yes
Crate trained: yes
Good with other dogs: yes
Good with cats: don’t know
Good with kids: don’t know. But would be best with older kids as she is so shy.
Needs fenced in yard: no but does very well with one.
Need another dog in the house: no

Location: Columbus OH

Energy level: low initially and once comfortable in new home, low to medium .

Elphie is a very shy dog and initially appears very withdrawn. However, when given time to adjust to her new home and allowed to get comfortable with her new people, begins to show her fun and sassy side. She is blind and deaf but like most dogs with these impairments, can get along and adjust quickly.

She loves her cage and uses it like her safe place. Even though it is hers, she does allow a couple of her foster siblings to come in and nap with her.

She has recently started chewing on antlers and crinkle animals. She enjoys exploring the yard in the fenced area and gets along well with her foster siblings. She is great about letting me know vocally when she needs to go out and loves peanut butter and treats. She also has started to lay on my legs when I have the footrest extended.

If you are looking for a very sweet and loving young girl, please apply through Speak! For The Unspoken. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

As a rescue it is our goal to carefully go over your application to be assured that it is a perfect fit for both the pet and you and/or your family. Our foster homes are able to easily evaluate each pet to quickly find out their likes and dislikes which is vital information to a successful adoption.

More about this rescue

Our goal is to do what we can to put an end to careless breeding that over populated the streets and local shelters. Sometimes we come across a pet that has "special needs" and our goal is to educate the public that "special needs" dogs are capable of doing anything you wish as long as you provide the proper training and have the patience needed to coincide with the training. Our inspiration her name is Dhalia and she is a lethal white Australian shepherd that is a result of merle to merle breeding. Sadly 25% of puppies born with this genetic make-up are predisposed to sight and/or hearing deficiencies. Speak! for the Unspoken has successfully fostered, rehabilitates and re-homed many animals both "normal" and "special needs"
