Trader - DEAF - American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat) Dog For Adoption

View more

Trader is a 2-3yr Bully Mix that is deaf (giant ears are purely aesthetic). He is very smart and would enjoy a family that would spend time teaching him loads of new tricks. He is an easy keeper, quiet, and very willing to please once he understands what you are asking of him. He does know basic sign language (come, sit, down, wait, yes/no). Trader is great with other dogs but can come off as pushy so we do not recommend he go to a home with a pre-existing overtly dominant dog. Since he is deaf, his dog-dog communication skills can seem lacking to a normal dog giving off appropriate social cues. Trader is actually a middle-of-the-road boy, he just has deaf-dog social cues so introducing him to other dogs can take a minute. Liken it unto introducing two people who do not fluently speak the same language... it can be awkward in the beginning. Trader hears with his whole heart and will make an exceptional addition to the right home :) If you are interested in adopting, the adoption donation is $100 and covers full vetting (vaccinations, dewormings, spay/neuter, heartworm testing, etc) prior to adoption. E-mail LaurensZooyahoo for more info! ***Please check your Spam Folder for our reply. We send out a lot of e-mails and have recently been getting complaints about not promptly responding to inquiries. Several servers filter our responses as Spam*** ~~~Availability Inquiries: If the dog is still posted then he/she is available. We may have already accepted applications but have not chosen one yet. Please send yours if you'd like to be considered. A "pending" status means that the pet is spoken for, but the adoption has yet to be finalized. This pet may become available again if the adoption is not completed within a reasonable amount of time. ~~~Location: We do not have a physical location where all of our dogs are housed nor do we have 'business hours'. We are made up of a network of private foster homes and sometimes use boarding. Once we have received your application, we can provide you with details and arrange a 'meet and greet' when possible. We require an application before any meetings will be arranged, and it can be obtained by sending an e-mail to LaurensZooyahoo with both your name and the name (or breed) of the dog that you are interested in. ~~~Cats/Kids and Dogs: If we don't specifically mention cats/kids in the bio then we don't know exactly how a particular dog will react to them. If we suspect there will be aggression then we will say no to cats/kids. However, every dog needs to be introduced correctly to a house with cats or kids in it. Each dog and each cat/kid will have different chemistry together so there is no way to tell how they will act until the dog is in the home. Puppies less than one year of age can always go to a home with cats or kids, but they too need to learn. With a little effort, dogs and cats/kids can live together...but don't forget that dogs will be dogs so sometimes you will need to step in. ~~~Out-of-state Adoptions: We will consider adopting to all states, but transport options are limited to some areas. Adopters are responsible for all additional fees associated with transporting a pet out-of-state.
