She would need very patient owners who were aware of, and willing to accept, and adapt to her situation.
I do think it will be hard to find the right home, but I dont think it is impossible. |
I don't think it's impossible, either. But could be a long road. I volunteer with Illinois Doberman Rescue. We placed a blind pup earlier this year. I just saw him last weekend at our annual reunion, and he is thriving. He goes to obedience class and is now very outgoing. It took some time to find his people, but it was so worth the wait.
We have another blind boy now. For play time, he goes out in the fenced in acreage and plays with another dog (who can see). The foster mom put bells on the sighted dog's collar to see if it would help the blind boy learn where to go, and it has worked wonderfully. The blind boy follows behind him and has learned the ropes quickly. He's come out of his shell and is doing well.
My best wishes in helping this girl find a family that can understand, accept, and work with her needs.
