About Rory

Rory is ready to find his forever home! At ten years old, he has plenty of love to give after a challenging journey. When he arrived at Noah's Hope, Rory was a heartbreaking sight—severely matted with skin and ear infections that seemed neglected for years. Thanks to the efforts of our groomer Crystal and the team at Siouxland Animal Hospital, Rory has undergone a remarkable transformation. He recently had successful ear surgeries, and now he's feeling much better and more like himself. Rory is almost completely deaf and would thrive in a home with someone experienced with deaf dogs, or at least willing to learn how to communicate effectively with him. He’s still getting used to house training, so he will need a patient family willing to help him adjust. Rory is exceptionally friendly and doesn’t know a stranger. He enjoys positive interactions with other dogs but appreciates some personal space at times. This lovely dog isn't looking for perfection—just a kind and understanding home that will give him the time to flourish. Having spent too many years in neglect, Rory deserves soft beds, gentle hands, and a family that loves him unconditionally. Let's make the rest of Rory's story the best part.
