Cheesecake is a lively Mini Australian Shepherd puppy, just 8 weeks old and weighing around 6 lbs. Initially intended to be a farm dog, her journey took a turn when her owners discovered she’s completely deaf, a challenge often faced by double merles. Thankfully, they brought her to a rescue experienced with special needs animals. Cheesecake is bright and energetic and is currently learning commands through hand signals. She thrives in environments where her unique needs are understood, particularly by folks familiar with deaf dogs or those willing to work with a trainer. She gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making her a wonderful companion for a loving family. Cheesecake is fostered in Knoxville, TN, and her adoption fee of $400 covers her spay, microchip, vaccines, deworming, and prevention. This is your chance to bring home a sweet, active puppy who deserves a fulfilling life. Click apply to start the adoption process.
