This handsome boy is Marshall. Marshall was born pretty much totally deaf (he can hear very loud or high pitch sounds), but that doesn't stop him from being your usual happy, high energy, people-loving pup. Marshall and his carer have had some sessions with a dog trainer and Marshall is starting to learn hand signals so that he understands what his humans want from him - his successful applicant can talk with Marshall's carer to get some tips and techniques on communicating with him via these hand signals. This gorgeous pup is very friendly and enjoys getting a pat or scratch from everyone. He knows 'sit'.

Marshall is full of beans and will need a home who can provide him with a good daily run at the beach or oval. His lead walking needs a bit of work as he loves to stop and check everything out! He is great with all dogs and would be perfect in a home with another dog already for company and to learn the ropes of being in a new family, although he would just as easily settle into a home without another dog if his family members are around a lot. This boy thrives in a household where he has plenty of interaction and inclusion.

We are told Marshall has lived with children and is good with cats although this has not been tested in foster care. Perhaps given his deafness, he may be best suited to older kids who understand he can't hear them coming in for a cuddle and little ones might grab and surprise him etc, but children who are a little older should be fine. With springy legs, Marshall will need high and secure fencing to keep him safely in your property.

The most important thing for this beautiful boy is that his adoptive owners take on board his deafness and have the time and patience to train him for his needs to help him live the best life he possibly can.
