Kids. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Some dogs are born on Earth.<br/><br/>Lunar is pretty sure he arrived from the moon.<br/><br/>At just 7 months old, this breathtakingly handsome, deaf pup has already proven that the things that make us different can also make us extraordinary.<br/><br/>The truth is, Lunar hears plenty.<br/><br/>He hears through connection. Through energy. Through vibration. Through trust. He watches the people he loves, reads the world around him, and responds with an attentiveness that is nothing short of remarkable. Hes not missing out on life, and he certainly isnt being left behind. If anything, Lunar reminds us there is more than one way to experience the world.<br/><br/>Hes a mastermind wrapped in beauty.<br/><br/>Happy, social, playful, and endlessly affectionate, Lunar loves other dogs, adores people, and is wonderful with children. He approaches every day with curiosity, confidence, and a joyful spirit thats impossible not to love.<br/><br/>Training a deaf dog isnt harder—its simply different. Hand signals, consistency, and positive reinforcement become a shared language, and Lunar is eager to learn every chance he gets. His intelligence shines through in everything he does, and the bond he builds with his people is something truly special.<br/><br/>Lunar has his whole life ahead of him, and he deserves to spend it with a family who sees him for exactly who he is—not a dog defined by what he cant hear, but one celebrated for everything he can.<br/><br/>Hes brilliant.

Mission Compassion Paw Rescue's Adoption Policy
MCP is a Chicago foster based rescue. We focus on dogs who need extra advocacy, including: Pit bull-type dogs, senior animals, animals with medical or behavioral needs, and bonded pairs. We don’t view adoption as placing animals, we view it as welcoming new humans into our Pack. Because of this, our process is intentionally thoughtful and hands-on. Many approved applications ultimately result in us recommending a different dog with stronger match potential. This is part of our responsibility as advocates and something we are known and respected for. Our adoption process typically includes at least three meetings (often more) to ensure a strong, lasting match. These meetings allow time to build a relationship, communicate openly, and support a healthy transition. We are full disclosure, we know our animals well and are honest about their needs. We're hands-on from first meet-and-greet through decompression and beyond, and we are comfortable saying no at any point if the fit isn’t right. We look for organic connections and humans who understand that successful Forever relationships take time, patience, and commitment. Going slow matters to us, for our animals and for our humans. Important Adoption Expectations: All potential adopters are expected to meet their match at least three times with all household members participating in the process. Out-of-state adoptions may be considered for exceptional matches only. Multiple visits to the Chicagoland area are required. We do not ship animals. We do not allow: Gifting animals, surprise adoptions, or any adoptions without full household involvement. Adoption Fees: Dogs: $600 | Bonded pairs: $900 | Cats: $250, $325 for a pair We hold our animals and our humans close. Quality over quantity. Always.
