Owner Info: Delilah is a very sweet and loving girl who is deaf and partially blind. Her owners have an invisible fence and they write that it no longer works to contain her. Currently they are tying her on a long run when she goes out, but she barks and strains the entire time. They are afraid to let her off the run for fear of her wandering off or getting hit. They have several children and she's already had some close calls. They would very much love her to be safe in a loving home where she can enjoy life to the fullest. Delilah was born at their home. Delilah is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house. She is housebroken and leash trained, and responds to visual and touch commands for sit, bed, outside, and come. She is good with people of all ages and both male and female dogs, and cats! She currently lives with two other dogs and two cats. She is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has never shown any aggression.  Delilah is deaf, but is not completely blind. Her owners write, "Delilah had troubles from birth with excessive skin around her eyes causing her eyelashes to irritate her eyes. We did several stapling sessions to correct this issue, though it may need to be done again or possible further corrective surgeries. Also her third eyelid does not retract completely. She does have limited vision but not at a long distance." They also tell us she has a slight limp in a front leg due to an injury when she was small, but it's very minor and shouldn't cause any issues in the future. Other than that, she's a healthy girl! Her owners feel she adapts well to new situations and write, "She is very easy going and happy. We have taken her different places with us and she has always handled it well." They gave us more details about beautiful Delilah. "Delilah is a sweet baby. She has been raised in our home with our 8 children. She is used to being around kids of all ages and loves attention. She is accustomed to our cats, though they tend to avoid her. She walks well on a leash and knows she is only allowed on her furniture. She is all great dane personality, a big gentle giant who thinks she is a lap pup."
