A deaf dog who was given up to a Florida shelter by a family who could no longer handle his needs has found the perfect forever home with a hearing-impaired former professor.
Fourteen-month-old Labahoula Champ was given up to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, who shared his story on Facebook.
“Champ’s family surrendered him because he was deaf and they couldn’t provide the care he needed,” they explained. “Champ is now adopted by Davelis Goutoufas, who is deaf too!”
