My story

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


Atlas is just over a year old, born completely deaf! He's up to date on all shots and was just neutered a couple months ago. He is crate trained and knows "sit" and "come here" in ASL. He has lived with cats and dogs (and does currently) and has had no issues. We love Atlas, but unfortunately need to rehome him because we discovered that our cat is absolutely terrified of larger dogs. We tried to make it work, but our animals just aren't compatible. We feel awful, because Atlas hasn't done anything to make the cat scared of him. He NEEDS someone who has the time, money, and energy to train a deaf dog. The only issue we've had with him is that he is aggressive towards the vet. No one else at the vet's office, never other animals, just specifically the vet themself. He also sometimes freaks out if a stranger surprises him, due to being deaf. He comes with his vet paperwork, a heavy duty leash/harness, collar, crate, etc.
