Hi there! I’m Ray, and while I may not see the world like you do, I experience it in my own incredible way—with my nose, my ears, and most of all, my heart.
Yep, I’m completely blind. Not "can’t-see-great" blind—but "blind-as-a-bat" blind. But you know what? That doesn’t slow me down one bit. I’ve learned to map out my space, follow voices I know, and stroll along happily on leash with a little guidance. I’ve even figured out how to find the best sunny spots in the yard for my afternoon naps (it's a skill, really). When I bump into things, I just shake it off and keep going. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff.
Now, let me tell you a little about my life before I got here to Happy Bark. I’m a 9-year-old Carolina Dog mix with a heart as golden as my fur. I spent my whole life outside, tethered to a dog box at the back of a yard—rain, snow, and everything in between. When an ice storm broke my cable, I wandered off, disoriented and alone. But that little twist of fate brought me here, to a second chance. I’ve been neutered, vaccinated, and completed treatment for heartworms. My eyes may not show me what's out there, but I’ve never seen more clearly what really matters—love, comfort, and a family of my own.
Since moving into a foster home, I’ve thrived. For the first time, I’m living indoors and learning what it's like to be part of a real family. I navigate the house and yard like a pro, once I get the lay of the land. I even figured out how to hop up into the bed—trust me, that’s a whole new level of cozy I didn’t know I was missing. And don’t worry—I may not see other dogs coming, but I’ve learned how to communicate with them just fine. I do best with chill canine companions who can help guide me a bit.
I love walks, belly rubs, kind voices, and gentle routines. I’ve lived with kids; as long as they’re sweet and gentle, I’ll adore their affection too.
I may be blind, but I see with my soul—and it’s telling me my forever home is out there, just waiting for a dog like me. A home with a soft bed, patience, and kindness is my heart's desire. If you're looking for a dog who won’t let anything hold him back, who meets each day with courage, sweetness, and a wagging tail—well, friend, I’m Ray. And I’d love to find my way to you.
Ray's adoption fee is $150. You can learn more about Ray and other dogs at Happy Bark by visiting www.happybark.org
