Owner Info: Riddick is a young
lab/heeler mix who was recently rescued from a neglectful situation. His
rescuer took in three dogs and was able to rehome two of them needs assistance
finding a good home for Riddick. He is completely blind since birth. His
current caregiver has had him for about two weeks. Riddick is an outdoor dog
with a fenced yard; he is not house-broken. He is leash-trained. He knows
commands, come, sit (if persistent with him), and will lay down when told.
Riddick is an outgoing dog who is good with people of all ages as well and male
and female dogs. He was food-aggressive with his caregiver’s other dog but this
has gotten better. Riddick’s caregiver writes, “I believe he needs to realize
that food will be available and he will get better.” He has not shown
aggression to people or animals. He loves people but he may need to be watched
around small children. His caregiver writes, “he's a pup with no discipline. He
is a good dog, just lacks training.” Riddick is a smart dog who learned to
maneuver around a table after bumping into it once. He also walked the
perimeter of the fence and now runs around the yard as if he’s not blind!
Please note that the
pictures attached are not Riddick! His caregiver says add a bit of brown
to his legs and this is what he looks like. We are trying to get actual
pictures of Riddick and will update when they are available!
