Owner Info: Newbie is an adorable little girl who was found in a park on 12/8 in Jacksonville, Florida.  A Good Samaritan saw her struggling in the sand, panting and not able to stand. She is unable to keep Newbie and is hoping for rescue or adoption for this sweetheart.  She has had Newbie for about a week.  She took Newbie right to the vet where it was determined Newbie was blind.  She was also covered with mats and burrs and totally flea ridden.  They shaved about 11 pounds of mats and hair off of her!  Newbie is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken and walks wonderfully on the leash.  She's good with women (she has not yet been around men), children and female dogs (she's not been around any male dogs), and lives with a female Catahoula.  She is not possessive of treats or toys, but does not like when the Catahoula tries to eat her food.  The Good Samaritan says that Newbie sleeps beautifully through the night, doesn't chew on anything she's not supposed to, and loves to go for car rides!  She loves to sleep curled up in a chair and doesn't wake up until she is woken up.  She's very sweet and gentle and loving and is not at all demanding.  The Good Samaritan writes, "She is very loving and great around small children.  She needs to be with someone stable so she can find the way around the surroundings and be comfortable.  She loves tummy rubs and gentle dog that needs love."
