Adopt EEYORE a Brown/Chocolate - with White Australian Cattle Dog / Mixed dog in
Location:
Albuquerque, NM
Description:
Very special blind dog, Eeyore, now available for adoption!Eeyore came into the shelter as a stray with some kind of trauma or infection badly affecting both his eyes. He was so scared and in so much pain that he wouldn’t get up or even lift his head. Our veterinary team tried treating him with pain meds, antibiotics and eye drops to try and alleviate the pain and to correct the problem non-invasively. Unfortunately the eyes weren’t getting any better and to top it off, just getting the drops put in caused pain too. He would lay in the same position all day long, curled up and avoiding contact with people... But through it all, we started to see little glimmers of his sweet personality through the pain. The vets discussed possible treatment options and decided that bilateral enucleation (surgical removal of both eyes) would be the best thing we could try for him. It was a gamble, not knowing how his behavior would turn out. Well, turns out, Eeyore was a TOTALLY DIFFERENT dog after the surgery! Free of pain he became a wiggly, happy, smiley, lap dog! He gets up and greets the staff happily at the sound of their voices. Now, Eeyore is eager to go out for walks--he walks with his tail up and his nose leading the way! He goes out to the play yard and around the golf course where he investigates everything and is a hit with everyone he meets. He loves belly rubs, rolls in the grass, and of course, petting and cuddling with people. He waits to relieve himself till he is outside, he knows how to sit, and is eager to please. Eeyore is adjusting to his visual impairment quite well and would do fine getting around in a house once he knows the layout. He seems fine around other dogs but if you have other dogs, a Meet`n`Greet is recommended. Are you looking for an awesome family pet? Come and meet Eeyore at the eastside shelter today!
