Blink - Adopted

Name: Blink
Sex: Female (not altered)
Breed: Border Collie
Age: 3 months
Location: Allen, SD


Vet/Medical Info: Has microophthalmia. Distemper & parvo meds were given to owner, she vaccinates the dogs herself. Blink was too young for rabies shot or spaying when they saw her, she didn't even have a name at that time.

Owner Info: DOB 10/26/2010. Blink's owners/breeders have a working cattle & sheep ranch & use dogs for work. Because Blink is blind she will never be able to work livestock, they feel she would be best suited with a family as a pet. Blink is an outdoor dog in a fenced yard, she is not housebroken, Blink is leash trained. She has had lots of treat training at home and is a smart girl - she knows commands like 'Blink, that'll do' which is used for recall, 'Watch' for slow down & check and they are currently working on lie down and sit. She is an outgoing girl, full of energy, good with adults and children, other dogs and cats. Blink's left eye never opened and the right eye appears to have no sight. She is an absolute sweetheart and lives life to the fullest. Blink's owners are happy to keep her until a forever home is found or are happy for her to come into a BDRA foster home, if we feel she will have a better chance of finding a loving forever home.

Update March 2011: Blink is doing well but is showing severe fear aggression to both dogs and people. Once she is scared of a dog or person she becomes quite aggressive and won't back down. If her owner can't get this issue resolved she may have to have Blink PTS. She does not want to have to do this but her family is putting pressure on her and she cannot handle things the way they are for much longer. Blink really needs help before it is too late for her!
