Looking for advice on a blind puppy
I have a couple of litters of puppies and one of the puppies, I believe is blind.
Just looking for some input. I cannot keep it..just thinking of what I should do with him. I am thinking of bringing it to the SPCA as I feel they will have the best ability to find someone able and willing to take it on. has anyone dealt with a blind puppy before? any experiences would be appreciated.

I would suggest you find someone rather than passing it off to the SPCA. That's no place for a pup, especially with a disability. Puppies need socialization at that age, not a concrete cell.

True, I just thought they would have the best ability to find someone because of the amount of people that go through the place.
I am not trying to pass the buck. I can appreciate your concern and will definitely keep in mind.

I would take him to the vet first to have him checked out. I would also ask the vet if they know of any organizations they could recommend rather than the SPCA. There are people who will foster care for a dog until their forever home is found, better care would be available for him and they tend to do more to ensure the people and dog are a good match.
A story for you, when we were in Belize, we did a cave tour. Our guide brought one dog with us, who led the way. This dog was 100% blind and got around with no problems in the jungle. Was absolutely amazing to see! Good luck to you and your pup! Last edited by Coralgurl; 03-17-2013 at 03:24 AM. |

I cannot keep anymore dogs in general, not because it is blind

Take a look here.. Tons of good info.
I would think it would make a good pet for someone retired who had some extra time for him/her. Please make sure it goes to a loving home and not a puppy mill breeder! http://www.blinddogs.com/support.htm
