Story
Hi. My name is Pete. I'm a 4-year-old, orange and white Brittany who was born with cataracts in both eyes: then I went blind. When I was blind, I engaged in compulsive repetitive behaviors, such as spinning, barking, and pica (eating non-food items). I had successful eye surgery and now I can see again. As a result of me regaining my vision, I acquired a new compulsive behavior; eyeing light and shadows. Fortunately, with the help of my medication, my compulsive behaviors, with the exception of pica, have improved a greatly. My favorite toy is a black Kong. My foster mom thought it would be good for me because I can't bite through it. I love to fetch and retrieve and could do it all day long. B eing able to see is such a blessing. If I have trouble finding my Kong, I'm good at a game called Hot and Cold. I respond well to the command "leave it!" when I find something I want to put in my mouth. I listen well to the command "drop!" when I put an object in my mouth. I weigh 35 lb and I like to stay active. Maybe my foster mom could teach me how to wiggle my tush to "Nothing But a Hound Dog." I am not picky about what I eat and will try to swallow anything I put in my mouth. Because I like to swallow everything, I should not be left unsupervised. When I get anxious, a soothing white noise helps me to stay calm. I do not get along with other dogs and probably not cats. I have never been around children. I am not sure if I would get along with them or not. I am a great leash walker and have perfect recall. I'm up to date on all my vaccines and, other than requiring my eye drops once a day, I am in good health. I love to ride in the car and watch the world go by as I look out the window. I am eager to please and will do anything my foster mom ask of me. I am a happy dog and when I'm tired I love to sit and cuddle in my foster mom's lap. I'm very thankful for all the care I have received. It has been done with devotion by the people at nbran. I hope that soon I will be in a permanent home with a loving family. I will need to take my eye drops for the rest of my life, When my foster mother tells me "Chin," I rest my head in her hand so she can put the drops in my eyes. My adoption Fee is $400 to help offset my medical expenses and to allow NBRAN to rescue other Brittanys. NBRAN will provide transportation, up to 1400 miles, to my new approved home.
