Owner Info: Charlie is one of my foster dogs that I pulled from Foothills Shelter.  He is a young dog who has developed early onset cataracts and chronic uveitis.  I had hoped to adopt him out quickly but when it was determined he had vision problems, I thought it best not to. Charlie is an indoor dog who is crated.  He is housebroken and leash trained and he knows sit, down, leave and crate.  He has an outgoing personality and is good with people and children of all ages as well as other dogs.  He currently resides with two Rottweilers, a Dachshund and a tuxedo cat.  He has been protective of certain toys that are his favorites but not aggressive.  I can take the toy out of his mouth without issue and if he is playing too intensely with another dog, can take it away from them both and they will go lay down without fuss.  Charlie has completely adapted to his home environment.  Lives indoors and plays outdoors in my back yard.  Limited vision in front of him if you drop a treat but his side and distance vision appear to be fine.  Charlie has developed stringy cataracts in both eyes, vet feels it may be genetic.  Also has chronic uveitis, which is treated with steroids and eyedrops.  Charlie is a very healthy playful dog, loves to run and play.  Great appetite and loves to wrestle with my other dogs and snuggle with me.  He is calm, content and does not appear to be too affected by the vision problem.
