About Vybe

Vybe is a cheerful and adorable young Mini American Shepherd with the unique qualities of being both vision- and hearing-impaired. However, his keen sense of smell ensures he doesn’t miss out on the world around him. He loves to explore through scent, relishing in sniffing adventures, scent games, and, of course, snacks. His food motivation makes him eager to learn and engage in positive reinforcement training, setting him up for fun and enrichment. Crate-trained and house-trained, Vybe gets along well with other dogs, making him a playful and affectionate companion. Whether he's romping with a foster sibling or checking in with his people, he values social interaction. After a day of exploring, he’s ready to cuddle up for some quality time. Vybe seeks a loving family that appreciates who he is and will provide the adventures and love he deserves. Due to his special needs, it's ideal for his adopters to be open to signing up for a positive reinforcement training class, ensuring they have the right tools to support him well.
