Elena Ann DG - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Meet Elena Ann!

Don't let her deafness fool you—Elena is a bright, beautiful Australian Shepherd with a zest for life! This happy, high-energy girl is everything you love about the breed: intelligent, playful, athletic, and always ready for her next adventure.

Elena absolutely loves to play fetch, especially with frisbees, though she'll happily chase a ball now and then too. She's wonderful with other dogs, great with kids, and is both crate trained and housebroken.

Because Elena is deaf, she's looking for a home that understands her unique needs. She must have another confident dog in the home to help provide routine and companionship. Having a canine buddy helps her navigate daily life and gives her confidence. She's also learned an impressive nighttime recall—simply blink a flashlight, and she'll happily come running inside!

Elena is still learning how to walk on a leash and will need a family committed to continuing her training using positive reinforcement and visual cues. Like any Aussie, she'll thrive with plenty of exercise, mental enrichment, and a job to do.

If you're looking for an incredibly smart, loving, and active companion who just experiences the world a little differently, Elena is ready to prove that being deaf doesn't slow her down one bit. She's waiting for the perfect family to give her the forever home she deserves.
