My story

　　Mikko is a young puppy who had a future as a stud dog, at least that was the plan. Then the owner discovered that he was deaf, so that, fortunately, ended that career. Since he was being crated 8-12 hours a day and was not useful, Mikkeo came to DRC. Now in Greeley, he is happily playing with other dogs, asking the cats to play with him and not spending much time in the crate. Mikko is house trained and working on learning to use the dog door. He is timid in new situations, but that often comes with the age and he is currently (3/27/18) a year and a half old. Mikko is learning how to respond to hand signals and has been to training with Lorraine May Springer. He is also very food motivated, affectionate and loves his toys. He has MASTERED fetch and return and loves to do it! While he has made great progress, he would do best with an adopter that has experience with deaf and fearful dogs.
