DLS

Some of you may have seen the posting in the rescue section about Sasha. If not here is the scenario. 11 month old female Black and tan unwanted by her owners. Her foster Mom with help from the Betterlife rescue org.have taken care of the many problems that Sasha was found to have, broken canine removed, wormed etc. BUT, they have learned that this poor girl's vision is impaired, to what extent we do not know though when an object was moved in their yard Sasha ran into it. So she could become blind, who knows. She was having 'fits' quite often as well, but it was determined that this is just her learned way of fighting off things that she cannot see, such as the other dogs where she came from. There has been major improvments with the 'fits' as all it takes is the call of her name a soft touch or the shake of a can with coins in it to get her attention and it instantly calms her anxiety. She is learning how to judge stairs and can now climb them, though she is very careful and moves slow. She is even learning to walk on a lead which is attached to her harness not a collar,she freaks on the collar and I think it is because her owners did not even know how blind she was so they just dragged her around.

I would take her in myself but as many of you know I live a very isolated life here in the middle of the bush. My cabin is small, i allready have 4 dogs living with me. I cannnot give Sasha the one on one that she needs, I could foster her but I cannot adopt her. It would not be fair to my dogs or Sasha. And to find a forever home for a visually impaired dog will be very difficult.

My question to all of you is. What do you think would be best for this girl?
