Rumor's Story

• Name: Rumor<br/>• Male or female: Female<br/>• Approximate Age: 14 weeks<br/>• Spayed or Neutered: will be spayed before adoption <br/>• Breed: mini Australian Shepherd <br/>• Weight: 9lbs<br/>• Any impairments: deaf, visually impaired <br/>• Potty trained? Not completely <br/>• Crate trained? Working on it <br/>• Good with other dogs? Yes, smaller the better <br/>• Good with cats? Unknown <br/>• Good with kids? Yes <br/>• Commands known: None yet <br/>• Needs fenced in yard? No <br/>• Need another dog in the home? Preferred <br/>• Location: Allegan, Michigan <br/>• Energy level (high/med/low)? Medium<br/>• Bio:<br/> <br/>Meet Rumor <br/><br/>Rumor is a 13-week-old Mini Australian Shepherd who is both deaf and visually impaired. She came to Speak! For The Unspoken from southern Indiana alongside her sister, Secret. The girls are the result of double merle breeding and found themselves in a shelter needing extra care and patience.<br/><br/>Despite the challenges she was born with, Rumor is a happy, loving puppy who approaches life with confidence and curiosity. She may not see or hear the world the same way other dogs do, but that doesn't stop her from exploring, learning, and soaking up affection every chance she gets. Rumor forms strong bonds quickly and absolutely loves her people — if she had the choice, she would spend all day curled up beside you or following you from room to room like your tiny shadow.<br/><br/>She also enjoys being around other dogs, especially calm and gentle pups who respect her space and help build her confidence. Rumor would thrive with small dog friends her size that she can safely run, wrestle, and play with. Watching her interact with dogs she trusts is enough to make anyone smile.<br/><br/>Like any young puppy, Rumor is still learning the basics. We are currently working on crate and pen training. She does squeak and protest for a little while when settling in, but once she realizes she's safe, she eventually calms down and relaxes. She's a smart little girl who is already learning routines and gaining confidence every day.<br/><br/>Rumor may need a home willing to be patient and understanding as she continues to navigate the world differently, but in return she offers endless love, loyalty, and sweetness. She is proof that being different does not make a dog any less capable of living a joyful, fulfilling life. <br/><br/>***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES. Please fill out an application on our website if you are interested in adopting this dog. We will only set up a meeting with the dog once you have an approved adoption application.

Speak for the Unspoken's Adoption Policy
Before completing our online application please read the following: Our adoption process involves multiple steps and it typically takes up to 2 weeks from the time we receive your application to the time your adoption is finalized. We reserve the right to deny any application without explanation. All of our dogs and/or puppies are in foster homes. We do not schedule “Meet and Greets” without an approved application. Our Adoption Fees start at $325 per dog, $75 per cat or kitten. We can adopt an animal ‘out of state’, but you must be willing to travel to where the pet is being fostered, and transport the animal yourself after the adoption. If you have other animals (dogs/cats) in your home, they must be up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention (dogs), and spayed/neutered. We will verify this with your veterinarian. If your animals are not up to date, your application will be denied. Please make sure to fully complete your application; leaving questions blank or not including all requested information will delay your application. Once your online application is submitted, it can take our volunteers 5 to 7 business days to process it. If we have questions about your application, we will email you. Please make sure to add our email, adopt@speakfortheunspoken.com to your email so our messages do not end up in your spam folder! Once your application is approved by the processors, it is sent to the person fostering the dog you have applied for. They will make the decision on whether the animal that you applied for is the right fit for you and your home. They may also choose to initially contact you via email or phone. If you do not respond promptly to their email or phone call, they will move on to the next applicant. Your application will be saved on file for 1 year and will be used for all dogs you would be interested in that time-frame. No need to keep filling out applications! Adoption application approval means you are approved to adopt an animal from us, it does not mean you are necessarily approved for the animal you applied for. There may be specific circumstances in your home that do not make it a good fit for one animal, but it may be a fine fit for another.
