Deaf Senior Dog Agnes Seeks Forever Home After Adoption Falls Through in Atlanta
Atlanta, GA – A local foster parent, known as FostersWithMel, has shared a heartfelt appeal for her 10-year-old foster dog, Agnes, who is seeking a permanent home. Agnes, a pit bull mix, has been with her foster parent for six weeks and is described as "an absolute doll" despite being mostly deaf. The foster parent revealed that a potential adoption recently fell through after the prospective family learned of Agnes's hearing impairment. "I'm not sure why that is a big deal," FostersWithMel stated in her video, emphasizing that communication with dogs largely relies on body language, which Agnes excels at. She noted Agnes's ability to maintain eye contact, walk well on a leash, and her affectionate nature towards people. While Agnes's social skills with other dogs are described as "a bit awkward," her foster parent assures that a daily walk and a comfortable couch are all she needs to be happy. The foster parent, based in Atlanta, Georgia, faces upcoming travel in October and can only keep Agnes for a few more weeks, making the search for a forever home urgent. She urges interested individuals in the Atlanta or Georgia area to reach out, hoping to prevent Agnes from returning to a shelter environment. The video has garnered attention, with the foster parent encouraging viewers to share the post to help Agnes find her ideal family.
