Double Merle Australian Shepherd

About Gucci
  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Rescue ID: 1541
Gucci is a Double Merle Australian Shepherd puppy. What does Double Merle mean? It means that a breeder tried to mate two Merle Australian Shepherds which inevitably creates some offspring that are all white, deaf and blind. Gucci and her two sisters, Orlandi and Scarlet, were thrown in a dumpster because they were of no monetary value to the breeder. Luckily an Apache Junction animal care and control officer found the three pups and took them to safety. Paw Placement was able to step in and place them with some wonderful foster families until they were ready for adoption. Gucci is a friendly and loving companion animal but she has special needs because she is deaf. She is responsive to touch training and has had some obedience training with a professional. Gucci is incredibly smart and knows about twelve signs of doggy sign language. She remains very active and will need a family that is willing to learn a few signs of doggy sign language. Willingness to work with professionals experienced with these types of dogs to teach her social skills and manners would also be beneficial. She would do well in a home with another dog that can see and hear to provide her some guidance and be her playmate. Gucci is very loving and sweet. Often her foster mom will wake up with Gucci cuddled right next to her in bed sound a sleep.
