Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sally Stitches was pulled from a local shelter where she faced euthanasia. She’s completely blind and was absolutely terrified and struggling in the noisy, high stress environment. Thankfully we had an amazing volunteer step up to foster, which quite literally saved her life!We’ll never know what caused Sally’s blindness or how long she’s been affected, but we do know her right eye had significant pressure build up causing constant pain, so surgical removal was the best option for her. She handled the surgery well, and is cuter than ever now with her big ears, short legs, and permanent wink! Since being in foster care, we’ve discovered that Sally is a sassy little girl with a whole lot of love to give! She may be blind but that won’t stop her from living an amazing life. She learns the layout of the land quickly! She's done well picking up house and crate training, and has adjusted to sleeping in her crate at night. (Tho she sure wouldn’t mind if you shared the bed!)She's met with our trainer a few times, and has been working on confidence building and basic commands like Sit, Down, Wait, and “touch” so as to not startle her when you need to touch her paws or legs. She’s a food motivated smarty pants who picks things up quickly, so training has been fun and rewarding with her! Her new family should be prepared to continue to work with her to help her be the best girlie she can be. She’s an excellent snuggler and loves to lay in your lap and accept all the pets you are willing to give!Sally’s approx 2-3yrs old, a low riding 34lbs, and is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and current on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention.Her adoption fee is $450, which will include one in home session with our trainer to set everyone up for success! New/loud/abrupt sounds startle Sally, so she would do best with an experienced dog owner in a quieter home without young kids. Note that quiet does NOT mean low energy! This girl thrives on a routine that includes regular walks and playtime! An active home would be ideal for her!Sally does struggle to communicate appropriately with other dogs due to her blindness, so a home where she can your one and only would be best. Cats are unknown, but based off her excitable and playful personality, we do feel like she would be overly interested and grab at or chase them. Because she is totally blind, a fenced in yard is strongly preferred. Please click here to submit an adoption application!
