Owner Info: Khalua is a beautiful blind Cocker Spaniel who was abandoned at a church.  She was saved by a good samaritan who rescues many dogs in Puerto Rico and does her best to try to find them placement.  As of 3/17, Khalua is in foster care.  She is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house.  She is not housebroken but is leash trained.  Khalua also has a skin allergy, but other than that, her rescuer writes that her overall health is very good. They've only had Khalua a short time, but they gave us details about how she is with other dogs:  "I didn't know her very well yet but when I rescued her she was in my car with 2 other dogs and she was ok. In the clinic she's been normal with other dogs. She was a little anxious when I rescued her (which they believe is due to all the changes she has gone through)...  but when I'm with her she's loving and receptive. Since today she's with a foster family with 3 dogs and the lady told me that she was stumble into the house which is normal but  tomorrow we will talk again and will let you know how she's doing."  Here is her update from 3/18:  "About Khalua, she's doing very well with the other dogs in her foster home." Khalua has shown no aggression and is not possessive of toys, treats, or food.  Her rescuer is hoping Khalua can have a better life here!  She tells us, "I'm a dog rescuer in Puerto Rico and have many other rescued dogs in different foster cares / boarding.  I assumed that Khalua was dumped for her disability. I would like to bring her the opportunity to have a new happy life that I cannot bring her because I don't have the space/economic resources to take care of her. She deserves a better life."  

Update 5/28/15: We've heard from Khalua's contact and Khalua recently had four beautiful puppies!  All of the puppies have rescue in the US.  Khalua is still very much hoping she'll find rescue, too!  

Khalua was pregnant and any of us, including the vet didn't notice until she was almost ready to give birth. She had a beautiful 4 puppies. They're almost ready to fly to the US to find new homes. I'm still looking for a home for Khalua but, here in PR, is almost impossible. I'm very sad with all this situation.
