My story

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

If you're looking for the most adorable deaf gal, turtle is your gal!
Hi guys my name is Turtle. I am from Texas. I know crazy name but my foster momma says my name should have been bunny or cat as I love to pounce and hop as I am playing. I am a young gal who is eager to learn to please but even more eager to cuddle. I LOVE cuddling and giving kisses once I feel comfortable with the human. I am crate trained but was used to having my siblings in the same kennel, now that I'm alone in the kennel I don't like it. So my foster momma is working on getting me to understand the kennel is a safe spot for me to be. I do have separation anxiety and do not like to be alone ever, so I'd LOVE a family who has people around often so I can have company. I'm working on potty training but haven't had many accidents and once I know where the door to outside is I will go to that door and cry when I need to potty usually. I sleep through the night without needing to go outside. I enjoy going for walks as we call them and am WONDERFUL on my leash. I do bark when I play and highly enjoy stealing toys from my siblings, but will also be respectful and share even when I don't wanna! Speaking of playing I'm trying to loose my baby teefs so my favorite toys are benebones! I am looking for a family who has a fenced in yard or will keep me on a leash when outside although my foster mama says I'm wonderful off leash too and will just follow along side her so I feel safe! Birds and other critters are cool but I don't really feel the need to chase at them I just like wactching from a distance!

From her foster: She is deaf so will need a loving family who is willing to teach her hand commands for training. If you don't know ASL already you will need to learn some signs (I have a video I can send of some of the signs she has been learning). ASL tricks she's learning are shh or quiet, come, sit, food, i need to work- I sign "lady work. She is so wonderful with cats, kids, adults, literally just anything and everything she wants to love and show affection to everything she meets. She really is just the sweetest most "wanting to please kind of girl <3

Go meet their pets

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.

If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

For more information on fostering or adoptable animals, please visit https://www.thebondbetween.org.

More about this rescue

The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
