About Yeti

Yeti’s foster family has helped him adjust to life as a hearing-impaired pup, using modified one-handed ASL for basic training. He arrived in rough shape—malnourished and underweight—but he’s rebuilt his strength, and his appetite for food (and treats) has made him easy to motivate. He’s kennel trained, keeps his space clean, and has mastered signs for essentials like "potty" and "sit." His main struggle is patience at meal times, but that’s improving with routine. Yeti is a typical puppy in most ways—he loves to play, snuggle, and be around people. He isn’t completely deaf, but seems to only hear certain frequencies and sometimes struggles to pinpoint the source of sounds. His adopter should be willing to learn some sign language and maintain a structured environment to help him keep learning. He gets along with dogs and cats, but any resident dog should be confident and tolerant, as Yeti may miss warning signals. His family will need to be patient and proactive during interactions. All in all, Yeti is a standout—even among seasoned foster homes, his quirky personality and loving nature shine. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
