We do not have enough WONDERFUL words to say about this little girl.  Before you read on- you need to know Hope is DEAF.  She relies soley on recognition commands but boy oh boy is she smart and catches on quickly!

Hope, in her 8 short months of life has been with 3 different owners and we are NOT going to let that happen any more! 

Since Hope is completely deaf, we are certain nobody wanted to take the time to work with her and teach her signal commands in order to communicate!  However, WE ARE doing just that with Hope and she is catching on like a charm!  She already has the "come here" command down and we are actively working on the "sit command" of which she will master very soon!  She is so young and full of energy that sometimes she would rather spend her time giving lots and lots of kisses, than learning how to sit and be still!  LOL  

Hope starts obedience training tomorrow at Pet Smart in Greenfield and if YOU are interested in adopting her- we would actually encourage YOU to take Hope to her classes each and every Tuesday for the next 4 weeks.  This would enable you to bond with her, and also learn with her on the signals and such!

Hope is good with other dogs although she wants to play.  If your dogs are older they may not care much for her but she is doing great with reading body language- she is currently living with older dogs and they have put her in her place a time or two.  She also is currently living with cats and has ZERO aggression towards them although she likes to get in their face and stare at them which in turn- they hate and then once in a while she will follow them around and chase them.  

Hope is potty trained- although being a fully DEAF puppy- you need to remember to let her out about every 6 hours- she hasn't mastered HER signals yet to humans to let them know she needs to go outside.  

If you are interested in meeting hope, let us know- we just LOVE her to pieces and know she will be a great dog with someone that takes the time to learn to communicate with her.  Hope WILL REQUIRE A FENCED IN YARD due to her hearing impairment!
