My story

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

Bullet is a deaf puppy who arrived at Alive Rescue from Aruba, where he and his siblings were dumped in a box and left to fend for themselves. To some that may cause a big setback, but Bullet has never let that - or his deafness - get him down. Instead, the adversity he's faced has only made him sweeter, goofier, and more ready for life with his furever family!

Bullet is great with other dogs and loves to play. He would do excellent in a home with canine siblings or with a family who likes to go on playdates with other dogs. Bring him near the water and he will THRIVE. He loves all people and never met a bone he didn't like!

Bullet is funny, treat motivated, and very intelligent. He is a loyal and loving companion to his humans and has found brilliant new ways to communicate with them. He may be deaf but he pays very close attention to you with his eyes. His foster family reports he is learning sign language and knows sit, paw, and down. A smart boy indeed!

Bullet is a high energy puppy and would like an active family that likes to be outside and take him along on their adventures. His ideal home would be lively and he would do great with another dog of equal energy who will play with him. Other bonuses include access to water, a yard, and kiddos he can play with. He has been exposed to all (even cats!) and done great, making him an easy new addition to your home.

This intelligent puppy is so ready for a loving family that will take him on lots of adventures. Apply to adopt Bullet today!
