Meet Zero, our bright, loving boy with a truly special heart. Zero was born deaf, but he doesn't miss a moment - he watches your eyes, your hands, and your energy with so much warmth and intention. He's incredibly food-motivated and eager to learn, making hand-signal training fun and rewarding. Zero can do well with other dogs when introductions are done slowly and with supervision. He has a confident personality - more of a gentle leader than a fighter - and he likes to set the pace in social situations. While Zero is not aggressive with people, he can be territorial about his food around other dogs, so separate meal spaces are best. He's totally comfortable eating around humans - he just prefers not to share his bowl with canine roommates. Zero is looking for a patient, caring home that understands that different doesn't mean difficult - it means unique and deeply rewarding. With kindness, consistency, and someone willing to guide him, Zero will continue to blossom into the loyal, loving companion we know he is.
