A once-homeless pup could make history as Washington state’s first deaf K-9.

Ghost, a white Pitbull mix with doe-like brown eyes, was once deemed by Florida animal control officials as “unadoptable” because he had “an abundance of energy and occasional indifference to people,” KIRO7 reported. There was also a concern that Ghost’s deafness would present communication issues.

As a result, Ghost was slated to be euthanized, WDBJ7 reported.


But that all changed when Ghost was moved to a shelter in Port Angeles, Washington, called Olympic Peninsula Humane Society.

There, Ghost was introduced to long-time dog trainer Barb Davenport, who also serves as the K-9 Program Manager for the Department of Corrections in Washington state.
