Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Name: Wonder
Sex: Male
Breed: Labrador Retriever
Age: 5 months old (approx. DOB: 05/31/13)
Level of blindness: Completely Blind
Cause of eye issues: Possibly congenital or from chronic inflammation
Health issues: None
Weight: 28 lbs (and growing)
Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Unknown at the moment
Good with kids: Yes, may not be suited for young children as he is a puppy and jumps up a lot. Currently being fostered with a toddler, although my son loves him he does jump up towards his face and since he is blind he doesn't realize how close he is.
Currently being fostered in: Massachusettes
*BDRA will transport the dog a reasonable distance, to an approved adopter, at no extra cost, even if out of state.
Information:
October 1, 2013: Wonder is a wonderful little boy who was turned over to BDRA from a breeder in Arkansas. The breeder was unable to sell him as a hunting dog since he was blind, so they signed him over to BDRA to find him a loving home. If I didn't have three labs of my own, I would be keeping him! Wonder is house trained, although he has had a few pee accidents which are to be expected at his age. Wonder is also crate trained.
When we are not home and at bedtime Wonder stays in his crate and he does very well.
Wonder does very well with other dogs, too. As I mentioned, I have three labs and he is always playing with them. I also have a toddler that he does pretty well with, but I do believe he would do better in a home with older children since he does jump up and can knock over smaller children.
Wonder has tons of energy!! He would benefit from a home that has a human companion home throughout the day and can give him lots of attention. A fenced-in yard would be best.
Wonder does have lots and lots of energy but he also loves his cuddle time! By the end of the night he just wants to curl up in bed with you. He especially loves belly rubs!
