Deaf Dog Finds Forever Home, Never To Return To The Shelter Again

The complicated part was simple but brutal, would they keep her, or would she end up back where she started? Even as her confidence grew around them, Blu still had her own way of communicating, and it took time to learn what her body language was really saying.
And once they finally clicked, Blu’s whole world changed, never to go back.
