Cipher's Story

Hi, I'm Cipher and I'm living the good life in a foster home! My foster dad has great things to say about me:<br/><br/>Cipher has had a pretty rough start to life. He was born deaf and with only one eye, and later, after being abandoned by the people who were supposed to care for him, he had to fend for himself. But you'd never know it from the sweet, loving dog he is today. Cipher doesn't let his past define him. He loves people, loves dogs, loves cats, and is happiest when he can simply be near his humans.<br/><br/>Cipher is house trained, knows some basic commands, and is very food motivated, which makes him a highly trainable guy. And don't let the one eye fool you-his beautiful blue eye sees just fine! He gets around wonderfully and has no trouble enjoying life. He especially loves running around the backyard and having a good time.<br/><br/>One thing we've been working on together is Cipher's separation anxiety. Given everything he's been through, it's understandable that being away from his people can be hard for him. The good news is that he has made marked improvement in just the few weeks he's been with me. He has never been destructive because of it, and with patience, consistency, and time, I think he will continue to gain confidence and learn that his people always come back.<br/><br/>Cipher would love a home with another dog to be his buddy, and a fenced backyard where he can stretch his legs and run would make him very happy. Most importantly, he would do best with someone who is home most of the time, at least while he gets settled and learns that he is finally safe and loved.<br/><br/>Cipher has already overcome so much. He's a sweet, affectionate, goofy guy who just wants a person to love and a place to belong. He deserves a family who will give him the time and patience to feel secure-and in return, he'll give you his whole heart.
