Meet Buckley, our specially abled boy who sees the world with his nose. Buckley had severe visual impairment prior to his owner passing away, and it required surgical removal of both eyes late last year. Since that time, he has learned to lean on his senses of smell and sound to navigate his world. And he’s doing it like a pro! Here are some key items to know about Buckley –
6 years old
House and crate trained
Does well with companion dogs, and would likely learn from them
Does not mind cats
Great appetite
Loves soft toys and blankets
Responds well to verbal commands
No separation anxiety
Affectionate, playful and goofy!
Having a blind dog is really not that difficult. They quickly learn their surroundings and how to navigate in a non-seeing world. Buckley has been fostered in a home with another blind dog, and his foster would assist you in setting him up for success.
In Buckley’s forever home, a physical fence would be very helpful for his safety, as would limited stairs (or a way to close them off). He has learned what “up” and “down” mean, butshould be supervised when doing stairs. A safe indoor space to play would be wonderful. He would thrive with a regular schedule, and either a human or dog companion that is consistently around.
