Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hello my name is Banjoe! I am a male 8 month old Aussie shepherd mix! I am about 17 lbs soaking wet and might reach a solid 25 lbs when fully grown Of course everything in rescue is estimated, but my fosters feel pretty good about my future stats! I know what you’re thinking, “Wow, he’s beautiful!” but I’m more than meets the eye. I have special needs! Yes, you read that right! My fosters believe I am deaf, which makes me more than beautiful, it makes me special. Before you jump to conclusions on what this might mean, here's what you need to know about me! - I am amazing with other dogs! Sure, I’m bouncy like my true Aussie nature, but I flip to my belly just as easily to show that I mean no harm, EVER! - I sleep through the night – I sleep like a baby (I mean because I am a baby haha)! In fact I’d probably sleep through Armageddon. When you wake up in the morning, I might outsleep you! So just blow on my sweet face and I’ll wake up loving you like the gentleman I am! - For obvious reasons, if you’re looking for a guard dog – I’m not the right fit for you. I hardly bark and I won’t know danger is coming to you or me… but if you’re looking for a loving companion for you or your current fur baby I’m the perfect guy for the job! - I am less food motivated and more into praise really. I’d be worried if you didn’t question that since I can’t hear you LOL. So really I’m down for the love and affection when you praise me and my awesomeness! - I run freely in a fenced backyard and play so nicely with all my foster brothers and sister! We have a blast so I’d love to find a home where I can play with a brother/sister who can teach me the ropes and I can follow their lead. It’s important for me to learn your house routine from someone who knows the drill! - I’m a follower by nature, my natural instincts have taught me to follow whatever anyone is doing around me. So if we are running outside, me too! If we are running into our kennels, me too! If we are begging for a treat, me too! If we are chasing ice cubes on the kitchen floor, me too! I’m easy because I just want to do whatever everyone else is doing! - When you’re ready for me to snuggle up with you please believe that I will be RIGHT THERE! I’m a cuddle baby ALL THE WAY! I will often nap on your foot or your arm so I know you are there. I’m the epitome of “You keep me safe, I’ll keep you wild.” If you make sure that I live a long life, I will make sure that yours is fulfilled in all the best ways possible! I’m so loving and gentle with everyone around me. I’m active, but it’s easy to meet my standard operational needs. You and I just need excellent non-verbal communication. - Make no mistake, I may not be able to hear you but I've probably been deaf my whole life and I've clearly lasted these 8 months by being so incredible to the point where no one really picked up on my special need until someone finally paid close enough attention to catch on. I'm brilliant and I attentively follow the rules by observing my surroundings and adapting extremely fast. Everyone has that one person in their life that is quick and witty on their feet, right? That's me... only with basic life skills! I’m a 10, but I need training. Because of my uniqueness, it’s going to be required that you take me to training. My fosters are working to teach me sign language right now and want you to know that I will need to work with a trainer who understands what I will need in the future so I can be 100% successful in life. I’m young, and I’m eager to learn. Please believe me, I’m so smart and ready to please you. I just need a little more than the usual “puppy training." Since it’s early in my life there is no better time than now! If you rescue me, I’ll rescue you right back because I’m practically perfect in every way!
