My story

Meet Dumbo!This one-of-a-kind, 1-year-old Australian Shepherd mix may not have big floppy ears, but he does have a huge heart and a personality that just might fly away with yours. Currently living in a foster home, Dumbo is a playful, cuddly pup who lives for toy time, lap snuggles, and the occasional scoop of ice cream. He’s also a work in progress who needs the right person willing to put in the time and care he truly deserves—someone who sees beyond his cuteness and is ready to help him thrive.Dumbo is deaf, which means he experiences the world a little differently. While that doesn’t stop him from being playful, smart, and affectionate, it does mean he needs a home with structure, patience, and an understanding of how to communicate and train a deaf dog. He’s currently living in a foster home, where he`s learning how to navigate life and be the best boy ever! He’s incredibly eager to learn and connect—but it takes commitment.Dumbo needs a home without children or cats, as he can be easily startled and sometimes unsure of new experiences. He’s an energetic boy and won’t thrive in an apartment—he needs a house with a secure yard where he can safely explore and burn off his energy. Dumbo loves to hang out with other pups and he would love to meet any potential canine siblings! Our staff will carefully handle all dog-to-dog introductions at the shelter to ensure a great match.If you`re looking for a sweet, smart, and special pup to join you on life’s adventures, Dumbo is ready to soar into your heart. Come meet him today!Dumbo was able to go on a Dog Day Out recently and here is what they had to say, `Dumbo had an amazing day out! We started the adventure with a stop for a pup cup, which he enjoyed so gently—it was adorable. After that, we headed to a big backyard where he had a blast chasing toys around. Dumbo loves tennis balls and could play fetch all day! When the rain started to come down a little harder, we headed inside where Dumbo curled up for a cozy nap. He’s a smart boy who seems to know when it’s time to play and when it’s time to relax. Dumbo would thrive in a home with plenty of space to run and play, ideally with a backyard where he can get his energy out. He also showed some natural herding instincts, so it’d be fun to see how he does with a big herding ball or other enrichment activities.`Dumbo is neutered, microchipped, up to date on his vaccinations, and ready for his forever home! He is c

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Dumbo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
