My story

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

She is a sweet dog…. She is partially blind and had brain damage when a puppy. When I picked her up from shelter, they thought it was spinal, but she has complete function…. Just runs funny.
Because of her blindness she is clumsy and not the best around small dogs or cats. She doesn’t intend to hurt them but she just can’t see them and may step on them. She is fabulous with medium to large dogs. She does guard her food so would need to be fed separately. She is potty trained but by schedule…. I am sure she would be quick to train a different method also. She seems very smart and eager to please. I would also recommend older kids. Older than 10. Again due to her partial blindness she doesn’t see very well and tends to run fast and hard and knocks over smaller children….
