Meet Rumor
Rumor is a 16-week-old double merle Heeler who is deaf and visually impaired, but don’t let that fool you—this little girl is full of confidence, love, and personality!
Rumor came to Speak! For The Unspoken from southern Indiana with her sister, Secret, after the girls found themselves in a shelter needing a second chance. Since arriving in foster care, Rumor has proven that her disabilities don’t slow her down one bit.
She is incredibly people-oriented and absolutely lives for cuddles. If you’re sitting down, expect Rumor to be right beside you (or preferably in your lap!). She loves being around her humans and is happiest when she’s included in whatever you’re doing.
Rumor also adores other dogs and enjoys having canine friends to play and snuggle with. She has been wonderful with children and truly seems to enjoy their company. Rumor is gentle, affectionate, and patient, happily soaking up attention from kids and curling up beside them for snuggles. She loves being part of the action, whether that’s joining in family activities, following the kids around the yard, or settling in for a movie night on the couch. Despite being a Heeler, she does not chase or nip at children, making her an exceptional fit for a family looking for a puppy who is both playful and gentle.
One of Rumor’s most impressive accomplishments? She is fully crate trained and will often put herself to bed when she’s tired. She’s a smart girl who thrives on routine and has adapted beautifully to the world around her.
Rumor is already spayed and is nearly ready to find her forever family. She will receive her final round of puppy vaccines during the second week of July, and after that she will officially be available for adoption.
This special girl may experience the world differently, but she doesn’t let that stop her from living life to the fullest. All she wants is a family who will love her, spoil her with cuddles, and appreciate the incredible dog she is. Her foster family describes her as the total package—sweet, social, cuddly, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and always ready to share her love.
