Deacon - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Milford, Iowa

Deacon is bilateraly deaf, meaning he can't hear out of either ear. He has a strong sense of smell to help him identify his human friends and relies on visual cues for the skills he knows.

Loves to cuddle on the couch with his people! Once he's had his nightly zoomies, he's ready to snuggle up for bedtime!

May enjoy dog friends in his adoptive home if they are tolerant of his pushy personality. Deacon may also prefer his dog friends to not live with him. Ask us about scheduling a dog intro if you have a very tolerant resident dog!

Deacon struggles staying in a crate when home alone. He does better when given his own room with an open crate so he has options while his people are away!
