My Story

Meet Champ! This amazing hunk is about 7 years old, weighs around 100lbs, is UTD on shots and neutered. Champ came into rescue in September of 2021 after he and the new resident puppy couldn't get along. When we met Champ we noticed his eyes were super cloudy so we made an appt with the Ophthalmologist. It didn't take long to discover that Champ suffers from Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) and has already lost 70% of his vision. He has been taking a nutraceutical supplement to slow this progression; however, the sad fact is that Champ will eventually be completely blind. He has been acclimating quite well to his foster home. He has learned the layout of the yard, his kennel and stairs. While he is doing very well, we would love to find Champ a home of his own. Blind dogs are not helpless. They are adoptable. They love just like a sighted dog. They need structure, a routine, and a human that they can depend on. Champ needs an adopter that has experience with visually impaired dogs, a fenced in yard, older kids or adult only. Champ MAY be able to live with a calm dog (not cats as he has exhibited a prey drive). A meet and greet will be required. Patience and routine will be key to Champs success in a forever home. We will be closely reviewing applications and heavily interviewing anyone interested along with conducting reference checks and a home visit. We will be picky. If you think you are the right adopter for our special boy, please reach out.
