Owner
Info:
Jimmie's owners have relocated and are unable to take him with them. They are
very much hoping for rescue or adoption as soon as possible for sweet Jimmie!
They have another blind dog who also needs rescue and will be posted shortly.
They are not a bonded pair. Jimmie is an indoor dog with run of the house, he
is housebroken and leash trained. He is good with people of all ages and both
male and female dogs. He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has
never shown any aggression. Jimmie is completely blind, and his owners write,
"His blindness was a result of two separate dog attacks. He has adapted
very well to not having his sight. Jimmie is able to go up steps, but never
mastered the ability to go down them after the accident....We previously owned
a dog that had a propensity to snap at other dogs. While Jimmie was younger he
attempted to play with her and was bitten. Several thousands of dollars was
spent to spare Jimmie." They also
write that Jimmie appears to be an emotional eater and when not with their daughter,
he tends to eat less. They add that Jimmie is a very sweet and loving dog and
tell us, "Jimmie just wants someone to love on him and hold him."
This has been a very difficult decision for them and they are heartbroken it had
to be made.
