This adorable little guy named "Jack" was transferred from another rescue group and is considered Special Needs due to his rapidly diminishing eyesight, for which there is no treatment.  Though Jack's still a relatively young adult, a veterinary ophthalmologist examined him and determined that he'll eventually become completely blind, though fortunately his inherited genetic condition is not painful.  For more info on Jack's diagnosis see:  Progressive Retinal Atrophy in Dogs | VCA Animal Hospital (vcahospitals.com)  The good news is that blindness is not as significant for most dogs as it would be for humans.  Since canines rely more on other senses such as smell, they're able to learn to easily navigate familiar environments, as long as furniture and other obstacles aren't moved around.  

Jack's foster reports that he's a "perfect little dog", with excellent house manners and so happy when you come home that he does a little greeting dance.  Otherwise he's quite calm for a small breed with no excessive barking.  Jack walks great on leash for potty breaks and is soon ready to come back inside.  But he's selective when it comes to diet--even though Jack just had his teeth cleaned he completely refuses to eat dry food, so his menu is soaked kibble with some canned food on top.  The only reason we recommend against children in Jack's new family is to avoid additional stress or incidents from suddenly startling him.  But he has a very sweet personality with people in general, loves to be loved and bonds quickly.  Jack is happy to sit quietly in his person's lap quite literally for hours!

Jack's adoption fee is just $100.00 and includes a LIFETIME microchip registration with HomeAgain. He's been neutered and is up to date on his vaccinations, worming, flea control and heartworm prevention so is totally ready to go!  If you'd like to be Jack's next BFF please click on the green arrow icon near the top of the page to submit an online application at no cost or obligation.  Show this little rescue dog a way to a new and happy future!
