Don

Doberman Pinscher

This beautiful boy is Don and he is a recent addition so we are still getting to know him. The first thing to know about him is that he is completely blind. He has progressive retinal atrophy which meant that he most likely went blind as an adult rather than being born blind. He has proven to be sweet with the people he has met and has a gentle nature. He loves his butt scratched and likes to give you his paw. It was reported that he might not be very dog social but we haven't had a chance to test him ourselves yet. His lack of sight may make him more reactive to situations he feels insecure in so we are going to try him with some gentle dogs and see how he does. We believe that dogs with special needs can do everything that a normal dog can do but a steady, low stress home would probably be ideal for him.

Update: Don is now "free roaming" on our 6 acre rescue property with several other dogs. He is an absolute rescue favorite and such a sweetheart.
