Due to his disability, he was abandoned by 5 families before even reaching the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). The pup had trust issues, but the staff at the RSPCA Centre showed him enough love and attention and Ivor turned a new leaf as a trusting and sweet dog.In December Ivor found his forever home with Ellie Bromilow – a woman, who fell in love with the dog despite his deafness. “He’d already learned the sign command for ‘sit’ and ‘come’ from the staff at the RSPCA center, but now he knows lots more like ‘lie down’, ‘stay’, ‘all gone’ and he’s learning ‘roll over’,” she said to express.co.uk.“Having a deaf dog is just like having a hearing dog. We still speak to him as we sign and I chat to him a lot – even though he can’t hear a word.”Ivor has a huge personality. He loves to go for walks and has a great sense of smell. “We use that for games to keep him occupied. We hide lots of treats around the house for him to find.”It’s so nice to know that after such a rough start, Ivor now has his loving forever family.More info: Facebook (h/t)A ten-month-old deaf Staffordshire puppy Ivor had a rough start in lifeADVERTISEMENTShare iconDue to his disability, he was abandoned by 5 families before even reaching the RSPCAShare iconIn December Ivor found his forever home with Ellie Bromilow – a woman, who fell in love with the dog despite his deafnessShare iconADVERTISEMENT“He’d already learned the sign command for ‘sit’ and ‘come’ from the staff at the RSPCA centre” said EllieShare icon“Now he knows lots more like ‘lie down’, ‘stay’, ‘all gone’ and he’s learning ‘roll over'”Share iconADVERTISEMENT“Having a deaf dog is just like having a hearing dog”Share icon“We still speak to him as we sign and I chat to him a lot – even though he can’t hear a word”Share iconADVERTISEMENTIvor has a huge personalityShare iconHe loves to go for walks and has a great sense of smellShare icon“We use that for games to keep him occupied.
