Owner Info: Tinkerbell is an adorable pit bull who was rescued from her previous owner who was going to have her put down. Her current owner did not know she was blind when she offered to take her. She told us, “When I got Tinkerbell I was unaware that she had any problems other than needing to get a rabies shot for this year and they agreed to give the vet paperwork but upon their arrival I was told they couldn't find it and then told she was blind and I didn't have the heart to turn her away because they were just going to drop her off at the shelter. Now I just had a baby so money is kind of tight. I knew she'd need a shot and a checkup which was affordable but I cannot afford the care she'll need being blind nor the time.”  Tinkerbell has been with her current owner for about two months and they have reached out to multiple pet sites and friends in hopes of finding a new home for her. Tinkerbell is an indoor dog with run of the house. She is housebroken and leash-trained. She is described as outgoing and good with men, women and kids. Tinkerbell currently lives with two cats and her owner says she “has never hurt them but does chase after them.” She is extremely tolerant with kids. Her owner told us, “My son crawls on her all the time. She doesn’t even budge, just lets it happen.” Tinkerbell has never been socialized with other dogs. She can be possessive of toys and treats. Her owner says she will growl if you try to take it away. She says, “I'm currently working with her on commands. She is a great dog with a lot of energy.”
