I adopted Ali about 2 and a half months ago from the Humane Society, she is a Staffi cross, was 6 months old when I got her, and she is also deaf. Since coming home with me she has settled in extremely well, we live next door to a huge Rotty who Ali is now in love with, she sneaks over to him wheneve she can. Ali is extremely sociable and loves human contact, she is excellent with all other dogs. I take her to puppy classes and use a vibration collar to train her, she is a very happy and well behaved dog, I believe this is down to the training Ali had from the Humane Society volunteer Tina, and all the time she put in when Ali was young.
