Reddy - Adopted

Name: Reddy
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Yellow Lab
Age: 3 years
Location: Rockville, UT

Vet/Medical Info: Medical information not verified.

Owner Info: At present Reddy is living at Doggy Dude Ranch, the lady that runs the Ranch is not his owner, however she has been caring for Reddy for over a month now. He was bought into her to assess and quarantine for 10 days and has never left. After assessing him, his home and house partner (another lab), she saw that the living environment was more his problem than his blindness. His people have also come to realize this and that is why he is looking for a new home. The reason they didn’t want him anymore was because he was growling at them, especially when they were handling him by his hind quarters. The people at the Ranch (staff of three) have been working with Reddy and he has improved in leaps and bounds. Reddy is housebroken, leash trained and is good with adults and older children along with other dogs. He has taken everything they have asked him to do in his stride, he loves to run and hop around with joy. Reddy is UTD with vaccinations but has not been heartworm tested. They were told his blindness was caused by brain swelling, possibly from an insect bite.
