Nice to meet you! I'm Robot. While I can't hear, I use my eyes and nose to explore my surroundings. I find it really calming just to sit and watch my yard. My foster mom thinks it's really funny that she can see me thinking and processing my thoughts. Sometimes I just look at stuff and go "hmmm?" I once quietly and sweetly observed a wooly bear caterpillar crossing the sidewalk.

I'm an absolute sweetheart who loves toys and chewing things, check out  how gentle I am with stuffed toys.  I also can be a bit clingy, always wanting to follow my foster mom around -- I just love people so much! 

I am gentle and inquisitive while observing my foster's rats from my crate, and I do well with the cats that I have met so far. While I've been a little shy when I've met a couple of big dogs, I have been interested in playing with smaller dogs!  I don't love it when my food or toys are touched without permission so other animals and people in the home will have to respect that. What can I say, I'm not a great sharer. 

I have to be honest with you, I'm not so good at potty training yet! I have an illness that causes me to go potty more than normal and now that it's under control I'm still working on keeping my kennel clean and always making it outside! My foster mom lets me out every 4-6 hours during the day. I will also require medication for the rest of my life and check-ups at the vet every 6 months.  My foster mom can explain more about my needs, but the cost of my medicine would be 40-50 dollars a month.

Having a deaf dog with medical needs like me will require a little extra effort and patience, but I promise you I'm worth it!
