Meet Devan the Deaf Diva!

Let us tell you about this special girl. Devan was found as a stray on a nearby county and was really struggling in the shelter. She couldnt hear anything, but the vibrations of all the dogs barking and moving around made her quiver in fear during the day. A foster said yes!! so we sprung her from her jail cell and she is relaxing in a comfy home just like she should be.

Devan the Deaf Diva Dog is available for adoption! She is good with other dogs and would thrive with a family who understands that deaf dogs rock.

We needed transport help from the shelter and another amazing volunteer stepped up. It just so happened, that the day Devan was scheduled to leave the shelter, was exactly one year after our transporter (Devan, you see what we did there ) said goodbye to her female white pitty Bailey.

In honor of Baileys one year anniversary and Devans commitment to helping animals in need (and the fact both of them are absolute queens), we knew we had the perfect name!

She is being fostered in Richmond, VA and is up to date on core vaccinations, has been dewormed, spayed, microchipped, and is on monthly preventatives. Her adoption fee is $375 and covers the cost of core vaccinations, along with the cost of her care while in foster. We require that all adopters, regardless of the dogs age, are committed to ongoing training and socialization as part of responsible ownership. To apply to adopt Devan, visit www.beaglesandbentleys.org/adopt.

Note: Sending a Petfinder inquiry is not submitting an application. We require a completed adoption application to move forward with adoption.

Beagles and Bentleys has an across-the-board evaluative process that we apply to every application we review that prioritizes our animals in need. We conduct a vet reference check (all resident dogs must be altered/up to date on dhpp/rabies and monthly preventatives, and cats must be altered and up to date on rabies) and a virtual home visit call where we discuss the adoption process and see your home.
