About Nelson

NELSON - INDEPENDENT, CONFIDENT, AND READY TO CONNECT ���%8D Available for Adoption in Illinois Meet Nelson-our striking, snow-white boy with a bold spirit and a heart that doesn't need sound to make a statement. Nelson is deaf, and that hasn't held him back one bit. In fact, he's confidently living life on his terms-navigating the world with curiosity, playfulness, and a whole lot of personality. He takes your cues under thoughtful consideration�'�| but ultimately? He'll do what he thinks is best. And somehow, he usually pulls it off. At 14 weeks old, Nelson is one of seven Border Collie x Husky mix puppies we rescued from a euthanasia list, and he's already showing us just how fearless and self-assured a deaf dog can be. He can play rough and doesn't always read the room, so he'll need guidance, boundaries, and a home committed to continuing his training using positive reinforcement and visual communication. He's bold, bright, and full of energy-so a single-family home with space to move and learn is a must. �Ϭ Nelson's ideal adopter: - Patient, understanding, and experienced or open to learning about deaf dogs - Comfortable using visual cues, hand signals, and training tools - Provides a safe and structured environment (fenced yard preferred) - Calm, confident, and consistent-ideally no young children or cats - Looking to build an incredible bond based on trust and teamwork Nelson doesn't need fixing. He needs someone who sees him as limitless. ��ҩ Apply to adopt through Angel Dog Alliance. This brilliant boy is ready to be someone's everything.
