Owner Info: Echo is a beautiful and sweet little girl who was abandoned in a back yard when her owners moved.   A good samaritan brought her to a vet where she was picked up by a rescue volunteer.  The volunteer was told Echo's right eye is completely gone and her left eye has advanced retina degeneration.  The pressure is fine in both eyes and the rest of her health is good.  The rescue has been unable to find a foster home for Echo and they've not had success in the past finding homes for blind dogs, so they are hopeful Echo will be able to be placed with another rescue so that she can have the life she deserves.  When they first got Echo she was very scared and starving.  She had been chased for blocks by a man and so was defensive and did snap, but she has settled down quickly!  They say she "now loves to be handled and gives kisses"!  She is not possessive of toys, treats, or food.  She has been walked with other dogs and is fine, and the vet's office also says she gets along with other dogs.  She even seems like she wants to play with some dogs!  As Echo is boarding at the vet's, they are unsure if she is housebroken, but she is leash trained.  Echo is a very sweet and adorable little girl!
