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.
