About

Meet Cotton

Cotton is a very special and loving boy, who was born deaf. According to a DNA test, he is a double merle, most likely responsible for his deafness and unique blue eyes. He and his foster mom have been working with a professional trainer to learn alternative means of communication, such as the use of hand signals. Cotton is a quick learner and wants to please his human(s). He is about 2 ½ years old and weighs about 25 pounds. He is housetrained but might have an occasional accident. He gets along well with a cat and other small animals in his foster home. Cotton is a cute and playful boy. While he loves playing with his human(s), he also entertains himself playing independently with a variety of toys. He has a soft, somewhat fluffy coat and loves to be snuggled and petted. While Cotton would make a wonderful addition to any home, he needs a family committed to learning how he communicates with humans, providing him with consistency. The professional trainer working with Cotton and his foster mom offers transitional services to assist with acclimation to new homes for a minimal cost.
