Meet adoptable deaf mini poodle puppy Angel who is looking for a very special home with someone who will cherish her and always keep her safe.
From her rescue advocate: The world sees a special-needs puppy. Angel sees a world full of toys, treats, adventures, and people she hasn’t met yet.
Some dogs arrive in rescue because they were lost. Some because they were unwanted. Angel arrived because she needed someone willing to see past her differences and recognize the incredible little dog underneath.
Angel is a tiny white Mini Poodle born March 11, 2026. At just 4 pounds today, she is expected to be around 10 pounds full grown. While she may be small in size, this little girl has a personality that is anything but tiny.
Angel is considered special needs. She is deaf and has Microphthalmia, a condition that causes her eyes to be smaller and slightly misshapen. Her unique appearance is most likely the result of both parents carrying the merle gene, creating what is commonly referred to as a double merle puppy. Double merle dogs have a significantly increased risk of vision and hearing impairments.
Despite her challenges, Angel doesn’t let anything slow her down. She plays, explores, snuggles, and enjoys life just like any other puppy. Her deafness doesn’t stop her from learning, and her vision condition doesn’t stop her from being curious about the world around her. At this time, her eyes are healthy and comfortable, though one may need to be removed in the future if it causes problems as she grows.
Angel may experience the world a little differently than other dogs, but she has never let that define her. She is proof that being different doesn’t mean being broken—it simply means finding the family that appreciates her for exactly who she is.
This sweet little girl is looking for a home that sees her uniqueness as a gift and is ready to help her write the next chapter of her story.
Dogs first. Always. 🐾
