Owner Info: Keller's owner rescued him 2 years ago from the local shelter. He had been picked up by the humane officer running loose out in the county. He was completely blind when they found him and also has a couple of broken teeth.  He has come a long way since then!  Keller's owner is a single mother who has had some medical conditions come up in the last year that leave her unable to keep up with and care for her two dogs.  She writes, "It has been beyond a painful decision for us", and she is heartbroken. She has reached out to friends and family with no luck.  Keller is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained.  Keller knows "come" and "lay down"!  He is good with people of all ages and both male and female dogs.  Keller's owner has no cats and has never seen him with a cat, so she is unsure of how he would be with them.   Keller is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never bitten or snapped.  Keller's owner writes, "Keller immediately took to us, has been able to manoeuvre through our house up & down the stairs inside & up & down the steps that lead to the fenced yard. He is loving to anyone that enters the home and is very snuggly and loving.  He is just a sweetheart who has already endured so much that I don't want him to end up in a bad place or euthanized. He has much love and joy to offer to someone who can see past his blindness!"
