Meet adoptable deaf 9 week old Australian Shepherd mix puppy Katydid who is looking for a loving forever home with someone who will cherish her, make daily positive reinforcement training/socialization/enrichment a priority and always keep her safe.
From her rescue advocate: Katydid is the kind of puppy who makes you believe in love at first sight. With impossibly blue eyes and a perfectly speckled nose, she is equal parts breathtaking and hilarious. This little girl came into the world with a big personality and even bigger heart — she just experiences it in her own quiet way.
Katydid is deaf, which makes her wonderfully attuned to the world around her. She watches everything with sharp, curious eyes and picks up on visual cues faster than you’d believe. She is living proof that hearing isn’t required to be the most expressive, communicative pup in the room.
