Can anyone help? This is a cross post from a mastiff site, The dog has been rescued from a high kill shelter but she can't keep it permanently. He's awfully cute! click the link: Click This Link
Well he was picked up just to keep him from euthanasia. Megan has 2 mastiffs and can't really keep him permanently. She would like someone to take him.
This guy's just been neutered and they said he was infected? He also had entropian surgery. The eyes have been so bad for so long they thought he might be permanently blind in one eye, but now he may just lose the whole eye . They said he is really calm and sweet. I reallly reallly want him. Even if he looks like a pirate. I am working on my husband, but he is in FL and we are as far away on the opposite corner as you can get.
A dog with one eye, can do as much as a dog with two...
A friend on the Superdogs team has a one eyed pug, who is a show favourite...and one of my clients just had his eye removed (cancer ), and is doing great, no change what so ever
I'd say go for it if you can convince your husband...There is nothing like taking in a dog in need...They tend to be the most affectionate Kate and the zoo
My next door neighbors have a dog 3 legs. They are best friends and we do alot together. We laughed at the idea of their dog and this guy. They could be a team One eye is ok for me! Makes me love him that much more
I would be more then happy to offer my home as a temporary solution (if he'd get along with the zoo), but I am in Toronto...A little far away... Kate and the zoo
He said yes, but doesn't want to put alot of $ into a rescue. "A puppy that you raise and learn/shape its personality is one thing, but to bring in a neglected full sized dog w/ possible personality/social problems is another."
I think he's still a little leary from the fila/mastiff mix we "fostered." He was a big love w/ no socialization and high prey drive. My daughter stepped over him in the kitchen and he literally nipped her in the butt. If the kids ran in the house he would nip at them. It was not good. Besides, It sounds like someone in FL is interested in him *cry. I really just fell in love w/ him when I saw those pathetic pics! Still keeping my fingers crossed
