Owner Info: Slippers is a very handsome and very sweet purebred collie who is partially deaf and partially blind.  He was just taken from a breeder and placed with a local rescue.  He had been having difficulty in his foster home with no other dogs, and was crying and barking when left alone and so is being moved to a different foster home that has other dogs (he has lived with 10 collies his whole life). Slippers is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken, but not leash trained.  He is good with people of all ages, and both male and female dogs, and even cats!  He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never shown any aggression.  They say, "Slippers' eyes are very small. He can see upwards but not downwards".  Slippers is also partially deaf. They write that he is very smart!  "Slippers is very smart and has managed to get over, under or around the barriers that the foster home has put up", and they add that, "He is very sweet!"
