Adopt Bertha (22-094) a Black - with White Great Dane / Mixed dog in Inver Grove

Location:

Inver Grove Heights, MN

Description:

Introducing Bertha (BB!)Bio:- 4 years old....having her 5th birthday on August 20. 2023- Spayed female- Mantle coat- Located in Ripon, WIBasic Info:- Significant vision impairment, completely blind in left eye and can only see shadows or dark spots in her right eye- Super snuggler- loves cuddles and lots of attention from people- Walks nicely with a harness, doesn't pull- Crate trained; is crated overnight for sleeping, Bertha has been left alone for about 4 hours while her foster mom was at work and did great! She has never had an accident in the house or the crate.- No known cat experience- Unknown if she has ever lived with kids (none in foster and she came from a humane society prior to our rescue)Likes:- Walks, these are her absolute favorite!- Enjoys chew toys and stuffed animals- Always down for a napDislikes/Quirks:- Not a fan of sharing her space or food with other dogs. This could be due to her sight loss and confusion of other dogs in her space. She will do best in a home where she is the only dog.- Does not like loud noises and being sneaked up on and/ startled; again related to her sight loss- Would rather not get a bath if she doesn't have toMedical Notes:- Other than being almost completely blind, she has no medical concerns. She has a few lipomas (fatty tissue spots) on her legs/side, but these have been evaluated by a vet and they are not a health concern and do not bother her physicallyHard Requirements For Forever Home:- Due to extreme vision impairment, she will require a fenced in yard for her safety or leash only walks.- An adoptive home where she can be the only dog- While Bertha has not been aggressive to anyone, her lack of being able to see and assess her surroundings visually leave her easily startled and possibly on the defensive. For that reason a calm home environment is needed for this sweet girl. If there are children in an adoptive home we ask that they be at least 12 years old and able to understand this need and provide her the calm, predictable environment she needs.If you think you may be the adoptive home that this super sweet girl is waiting for, this is what you need to do:- If you have already completed the application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Stephanie at XXXX@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about Bertha.- If you are not yet an approved adopter through UMGDR, you must complete our application process before you could be considered to adopt a dog through our rescue.
