My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact info@blinddogrescue.com for more information about this pet.











Xander's Information:




Dogs with juvenile cataracts become blind rather suddenly. Xander is insecure with his new blindness and therefore would do best in a home with less activity. He is an extremely lovable dog but prefers to be the only dog in a home receiving all of the attention. Unfortunately he is much too interested in cats when he finds them to live in a home with a cat. Because of Xander's fears of sudden movements it is best he not live in a home with small children.



Sex: Male

Breed: Yorkie / Poodle Mix

Age: 3yrs old

Level of blindness: Can see shadows.

Cause of eye issues: Cataracts

Health issues: Xander is a healthy 3-5 yr old male with juvenile cataracts that have caused him to have severe visual impairment, otherwise he is very healthy.

Weight: 14lbs

Good with dogs: NO

Good with cats: NO

Good with kids: NO

Currently being fostered in:South Carolina, but BDRA will arrange transport to an approved adopter
