Owner Info: Beautiful Edie is blind and mostly deaf.  Edie's owner saved her from being euthanized at a local county shelter where she was found as a stray, and her hope was just to care for her until she was better, and then find her a good home.  Edie's owner has been unable to find her a home, and cannot keep her due to financial and living situation constraints.  Edie is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house, she is not housebroken, but is leash trained.  She is good with both men and women, other dogs and cats, and currently lives with three other dogs and a cat. Edie has never shown aggression, but if one of the other dogs attacks her, Edie does react.  She tolerates vet checks, eye drops, etc. with ease.   She is an easy going and friendly girl!    Despite her blind and deafness, she trusts easily and adapts to the situation given to her.  Her owner's vet thinks she has chronic dry eye, and that it was left untreated, causing her blindness.  They prescribed Optimmune, which she has been on since 6/22.  It seems to be helping, but she does still get the green goo in her eyes regularly, so her owner is not sure.  Also, her right eye appears to have suffered some kind of damage, it is recessed and shrunken with scar tissue interior.  Edie also has a heart murmur.  Edie has a lot of love to give and is very sweet.  Her owner knows the right home is out there for her to live out her life!
