Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I am Nora! I am an adorable, fun-loving, very smart puppy. I am a shepherd mix, approximately 7-8 (10/13) months old now and I am completely blind (what does that mean anyway?). Well...because of this is was deemed "un-adoptable" by a shelter in Louisiana and I guess they were not going to let me live. I needed a home...fast. A really nice family in Mississippi learned of me and they took me in. Within a day of staying with them I had memorized their backyard and could find my way around so easily that they couldn't believe I couldn't "see" (what does that mean anyway?). I loved their 5 year old son and we would run and play together. He would hide and I would find him, and we both got so excited when I did!. I really like their other dog too but he hasn't been very nice to me, he is just a grumpy old dog and refuses to play with me. I know how to sit, stay, and come and I am still working on walking with a harness and leash. My foster family really loves me, but they have a small house, and two young kids and a grumpy dog and cat so I can't live indoors. And my folks want the best for me so they think it's time for me to bless a new family of my own. My foster mom says I would be so easy to crate-train, or to use a bell on a specific door that I could ring when I need to go outside. She says I am THAT smart. My family has spent a lot of money on me with going to the doctor and I can't have babies and I had all my shots. I have had all my heart worm prevention too! Dr. Mitchell, my doctor has said that I could possibly gain partial or full sight in my right eye with a surgical procedure, so if you would be interested in doing that, I can give you his information. In a word I am AWESOME!
***UPDATE***
I am now in a wonderful foster home in Massachusetts. Animal Rescue Front is getting me an appointment with an eye doctor to see if my eyes might get better. My foster home here thinks I am really smart because I learned their home in a few hours. They say I am loving too, but of course I am! I'm a dog! If you would like to adopt me and you live in New England you will be able to meet me.
If you are interested in taking me into your forever home please fill out the adoption form here: http://www.animalrescuefront.org/Adoption-Form.html
