Meet Joshua! 💫 With his cloud-soft white fur that feels like a warm hug and those piercing blue eyes that can melt even the coldest heart, this handsome boy is truly a head-turner. But hold onto your hearts, because Joshua’s journey hasn’t been a walk in the park. This sweet pup was returned to a high-kill shelter not once, not twice, but three times! Can you believe it? He was labeled as 'hyper' and found himself on the euthanasia list. 😢 But here’s the twist—Joshua is actually deaf, waiting for someone to learn his beautiful, silent language. Since stepping into foster care, Joshua has absolutely blossomed! 🌼 He’s mastered the command 'sit' like a pro, learned to chill in his cozy crate, and has proven to be a total sweetheart. His nurturing spirit shines through as he gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is a gentle companion to our 3-year-old son—playdates just got a whole lot more fun! He’s not just looking for a home; he’s looking for a partner-in-adventure! 🏞️ To help him shine even brighter, Joshua comes with his own specialized training collar, which has been instrumental in helping him understand commands like a champ. Plus, there’s even better news for new adopters in Auglaize or Mercer County: you’ll receive a FREE training session with a specialist who has 15 amazing years of experience working with deaf dogs! 🥳 Joshua experiences the world a little differently, and he’s on a quest to find that special someone to share every joyful moment with. Could his adventure finally find its hero in you? At just 6 months old, fully vaccinated, and sporting those adorable webbed feet—yes, we think he’s got a bit of Labrador in him—Joshua is ready to fill a home with love and laughter. 🌟 Don’t let this incredible soul wait any longer!
