My Story
Posted 2/18/18, and pictures updated 5/10/20. DEAF MALE RED HEELER PUPPY FOUND ON 1/19/18 IN TYLER, TX. A neighbor brought this little puppy to me on Friday, 1/19/18, at around 5:00 p.m., and said the puppy was traveling the road with an adult male dog that looked similar to the puppy, but the puppy came to him in his yard while the other dog kept going. I put some food down for him, and he ate like he was starving. I gave him the name Brody.
On Saturday, 1/20/18, I noticed that he did not stir while sleeping no matter what the noise was. I was able to get him in to the Gresham Veterinary Hospital on Tuesday, 1/23/18, to get vaccinated, and check his inner ears since he can bark. We had a Yellow Lab years ago that was born deaf, and made noises instead of barking. The puppie's ears looked good, he weighed 10.6 pounds, and was estimated to be 10 weeks old, so date of birth is around November 14, 2017. Brody was neutered on 2/17/18, weighed 21.6 pounds, and still growing. As of 5/10/20, he is 93 pounds.
Brody is very playful, does not like to be by himself, and will be vocal about it. He requires a fenced yard, and another dog that can hear to guide him and play with him. Vehicles should not be moved around him without knowing where he is, and he is not an apartment dog. I am working on house training him, and he is doing good. He is crate trained, and likes sleeping on a dog bed in his crate. His fur is very soft, and he loves attention from people.
Adoption fee is $80, which includes his neuter and vaccinations.
