Chulo has limited vision. He navigates the world through his other senses. He needs an environment where his people want to help him experience all the wonders of the world while always providing positive reinforcement. Our sweet sharpei mix arrived after his owners were arrested, knowing they had no other family to take him, he was surrendered to the shelter. Chulo was a give-away, this 1yr old, 50 pound mush, was just given away to the first person that said, Yes!. His owners only had him for 2 months, before he was given to the shelter. They didn't even know he was blind, when we went to get Chulo, a family member mentioned he continued bumping into walls, they said his eyes had crust in them. Chulo deserves a home that truly wants him, loves him and will provide the structure he needs to flourish regardless he can't see. He was lucky enough to go into a foster home upon arrival. It was in this home that he showed his true personality of being a total love-bug. He LOVES attention and loves to lay on the couch. He becomes extremely anxious in a crate, thrashing around, clearly unable to settle. Once they put him in a separate room he was fine. We don't know if in his previous home he was left alone crated for hours on end, but we do know, he feels lost when his people aren't near. Due to his inability to see the interaction with other dogs is hard, in his foster home he got into some fights with the resident dog; it was due to this - he had to be returned. Chulo's ideal forever home is an adult home only, with structure and new experiences. There are so many adventures for him to participate in. This sweet boy has so much love to give, will you be his family?
