Owner Info: Jersey was abandoned by her owner. She’s about 40 lbs and her current guardian was told that she’s a terrier/hound mix. She was abandoned by his neighbor who he let live temporarily at his house but could no longer care for the dog due to not being able to find housing. Jerseys guardian and his girlfriend work full time and 4 have cats that they have rescued – they cannot properly care for Jersey nor can they afford another pet. They do not want her to be euthanized. She is very sweet and loving towards people and is obviously very lonely. Jersey is an outdoor dog with a fenced in yard, she is housebroken and leash trained. She is good with all people and other dogs. She loves being inside but does not get along with cats so they must keep her outside. She has also adjusted to her blindness quite well and seems to do ok with it. She’s been blind for about 2 years now. They are fairly desperate and really need help.
