Yukon (Yuki) was dumped at a high kill shelter in West Texas. He is deaf, but that does not slow him down. Best fit home would have a fenced in yard to keep him safe and a companion dog. He is good with other dogs, kids, and cats (dog savvy ones because he likes to chase to play and lick them). All dogs and puppies require supervision and training. 

Yuki can be sometimes be shy at first but don't let that fool you, he quickly warms up and is the best boy. He is a smart boy who learned signs and schedules fast. He loves to run and play with dogs (and cats but he doesn't understand his size to theirs). He loves everyone he meets and thinks all dogs are his friends. He is working on leash skills. He is a gem and anyone would be lucky to have him as part of their family. Because he is deaf, he has a big bark and grumbles when he plays, which sometimes causes another dog to pause to figure out what he really wants..which is to play.  He is a sweet boy who once he knows you enjoys head scratches, but he loves touches from everyone anywhere else. Seeing what is happening is important to him since he can't hear for example, if you try to pet him on the top of the head, he will duck and bob his head to avoid what he can't see but still wants the pets, just under the chin or neck.  His darling underbite doesn't slow him down chowing down his food, but sometimes can make for slobbery handoff when he takes treats. This boy is so much fun and has waited a long time for the right family to find him. Is that you?
