Buddy the blind stray needs a home!
Meet our friend “Buddy.” Buddy was found as a stray wondering the highway in a dangerous neighborhood. For any dog that is a scary thought, but for Buddy it is even more horrifying because he is blind. Buddy has a degenerative retinal disease and will never be able to see. He is now at The Brookhaven Animal Shelter and Adoption Center waiting desperately to be adopted. He is very scared… especially with all the dogs barking around him. Buddy is only 2 years young and loves all people. He is gentle and wags his tail at the least bit of attention.
Being in a shelter is no fun for a dog at all. It is especially heartbreaking to see Buddy there. He doesn’t know what he did wrong to wind up all alone and confused. We know that he would adjust quite well in a home. Buddy asks for very little…some food…..a walk…and a little pat on the head for reassurance, but we know what Buddy needs most. He needs an angel to come and take him under their wing and give him the life he desperately deserves. Please cross post this email so together we can find Buddy his forever home.
If you would like to adopt Buddy, please contact Dori Scofield, Shelter Director, Brookhaven at: saveapetny@yahoo.com.
Here is one shelter visitor’s testimonial about her visit with Buddy:
“…I just have to let you know of our visit with a very special dog, that you posted the other day, Buddy, who we now call a Luv Muffin… He seems completely blind, so of course he’s going to bark like crazy when approached, I’d be the same way!! BUT, when he got to know us outside, which took a matter of SECONDS, he was a complete mush!! He absolutely fell in love with Alivia, and kept sniffing & following her back & forth to the bench when she needed to sit. AAAAhhhh was written all over his face, as we petted him FROM HEAD (THOSE ADORABLE EARS INCLUDED) TO THE TIP OF HIS TAIL (which it seems has been a bit beat up by him wagging it). I can’t stress enough, how sweet & perfect he is… we were shaking & heartbroken having to leave him. He’s definitely an adorable Shiba Inu Mix (guessing 40ish lbs).”
