Marlee

Marlee is a special girl indeed. With those gianormous ears all should be fine for her but it turns out she is deaf! This girl had a hard start to life as it wasn't picked up by her ex owners and their other dogs would pick on her. Even with that start to life Marlee has a beautiful gutsy nature and is good with other dogs and has a healthy respect for cats. Marlee is picking up sign well and sits and waits for her food. This girl is quite energetic and has amazing jumping skills. She has a naughty puppy streak still and is quite content to steal what she can and play with it. Marlee is extremely loyal and stays right by your side when out and about. She is also house trained. With her bright happy nature and naughty but cute streak, Marlee will liven up any family.  
 
I'm deaf but once you have my attention with eye contact, I'm easy to train with sign language. There are some extra precautions to take with me because I'm deaf. And there's a bit of effort on your part as you'll need to learn how to live with a deaf dog, but soon it will be second nature to you and we'll develop an amazing bond.
 
Here's a link to a website that describes the special considerations for living with a deaf dog http://deafdogs.org/training/ and there are great videos from Deaf Dogs Rock on YouTube too. The two most important things to note are
teaching me and others how to prevent a startling reaction
ensuring my safety at home and when we're out and about
