Special Adoption Considerations: Rookie is deaf but is very well trained using hand signals!
All about Rookie:Rookie's owner adopted him as a puppy and he has been very much loved. His owner is sadly no longer able to care for him. Rookie is eager to once again have his own humans to love and be loved by, for all those wonderful adventures that a cherished family pet gets to experience.
His previous human says he is well trained on leash. He likes playing with other dogs off-leash in dog parks.
He was crate trained as a puppy and did wonderfully but once he was a little older, his human stopped using the crate with him - he has been free roam for a long time and is very good in the home.
Rookie has been deaf since birth, but that has not been an issue at all. His previous human says 'He does really well with hand gestures and we have a good communication system in place.'
He's way out of the puppy yips and is in his prime as an adult dog. He's ready to trot by your side on all those great outings - and to curl up by you after a fun day together.
What do you say? Are you Rookie's fresh start and forever home? Is he the one you see by your side?
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
