My name is Curtis Loew!

Hello Curtis Loew!! The original Curtis Loew may have been a fictional character but this guy is as real as they get! 

While in the shelter, Curtis was known as “Grumpy” and wasn’t getting much attention from staff because of his bad attitude. A few of our volunteers so something in him though and just knew all he needed was a chance. Well, it turns out poor Curtis didn’t have a bad attitude, he was in pain! One of his eyes was severely infected - not sure if from a previous injury or what had happened but this boy was definitely hurting! A trip to the vet confirmed that not only did that eye did indeed need to be removed but he also has limited vision in the other eye. The offending eye has now been removed and Curtis is feeling so so much better and is, as the saying goes, “blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other”. Or can’t see much anyway. 

Curtis’s vision loss hasn’t slowed him down one bit though! This 4-5 yr old Shih Tzu learned the lay out of his foster home in no time and gets along just fine! He’s great with other dogs and almost completely house trained. His favorite things in the whole world are his toys and cuddle time with foster mom!
