Aspen is a 10-month-old border collie with a sweet nature and a big love for life. He’s a friendly, affectionate young dog who enjoys being close to his people and taking part in everyday routines.
One of Aspen’s favourite things is water , splashing, paddling, and cooling off make him incredibly happy. He also enjoys gentle play, exploring his surroundings, and spending relaxed time with people he trusts.
Aspen is congenitally deaf, which means he experiences the world a little differently and relies on visual and physical communication rather than sound. He does best with kind, patient handling and predictable routines, and he thrives when his humans understand and respect his way of communicating.
Aspen also has epilepsy that is currently well managed with medication. He is stable and doing well, but will need a home comfortable with maintaining his medication and routine.
He would be happiest in a home where someone is around often, as he bonds closely with his people. Aspen could live as an only dog, or with another friendly, calm dog who enjoys company without being overwhelming. He’s very dog friendly and currently lives with both big and small dogs.
Aspen would be best suited to a quiet, structured home with an experienced owner who understands deaf dogs and special needs. For this reason while is he very friendly he would not be suited to a home with young children.
Still very young, Aspen has so much love to give and is a truly special boy looking for a home that will appreciate him for who he is. With the right people, he will form a deep, rewarding bond and be a wonderful companion.
