Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WINNIE, (1 1/2 years old) a small (22-25lb) Australian Cattle Dog/Heeler with the most beautiful blue eyes is very shy and nervous when in any new situation because she is DEAF. Once WINNIE comes out of her shell she is sweet and cuddly. We are looking for a confident and experienced owner who understands WINNIE'S needs and will continue her training, including -- but not limited to -- teaching her hand-signals and using other recommended techniques for training a deaf dog. WINNIE startles easily, so will need someone who she can learn to trust and has patience with her.
WINNIE will do best in a home where she is the only animal and there are no young children. Because she is a herding breed, she instinctively tries to herd young children and other dogs, but because of her hearing loss, she is unable to hear clues that tell her it is not appreciated. Older children, much like adults, who know hand-signals and who gain her trust would be fine with WINNIE.
WINNIE is presently receiving training at K9 Development and has been doing very well. Arrangements to meet with WINNIE and talk with K9 Development staff about her special needs will be made for those who could be potential adopters by meeting established criteria.
Adoption fee of $300.00 includes spay/neuter, current on vaccines, dewormed, microchip, and free vet exam within 5 days of adoption.
Because we are a small rescue, we do not adopt farther than 75 miles from Tracy, CA. It's simply not possible to facilitate a home visit farther away from here.
