Meet adoptable deaf/blind two yar old border collie Dahlia who is looking for a very special loving forever home with someone who will be truly committed to giving her a great life, teach her new touch cues and always keeping her safe.
From her rescue advocate: Dahlia has been working very hard with her incredible Foster Mama to learn about gentle touch and direction. Her progress has been nothing short of amazing. Dahlia is both blind and deaf and will require a physical fence for her own safety. In her own words, here is what her Foster Mama has to say about sweet Dahlia:
“Dahlia is one special girl despite her disabilities. She is a very sweet and loving dog to all the humans she meets. She is very smart. It is truly amazing to watch her learn her way about the house and yard once she has memory of the paths to take. Dahlia has a clear voice to let you know when she needs to go outside to potty. If she feels alone and lost in her dark world she will bark to say, “hey where are my humans and furry pals right now?” She loves to play with her fur pals here, so another playful pup full of energy in her new home would really be great for her.
Dahlia loves her stuffed toys and chew toys just like any other dog and she also adores sweet cuddles on the sofa with her humans. She rests best knowing that her human and furry friends are near by her. Whether you are experienced or not with a special needs dog, Dahlia is well worth considering for a great companion.
No experience with a blind/deaf dog is ever required, just a willingness to learn how to navigate her world with her. If you are interested in adopting Dahlia, please fill out and adoption application here to be considered.
