Gloria 🐾 1yr Old German Shepherd(On Trial 3/9/22)

Gloria is a 1 yr old Shepherd, who is blind. She is a very happy & inquisitive girl who is still a pup at heart ❤

Gloria loves playing with her toys and loves to run, jump & play, and even does zoomies. She loves being with her humans & would ideally have the run of the house. Must sleep inside.
Gloria is a big fan of lounging around on sofa's too.

She also enjoys the company of dogs and her ideal doggy friend would have to be easy-going & able to adapt to Gloria's special ways.

She can't see normal social cues that dogs give out, so it will be a special dog that doesn't mind her being up & close & sometimes bumped into, etc.

Gloria is currently in care with a senior Shepherd x and a young kelpie girl who she loves playing chasies with. Really enjoys a good splash in water too.

If you're looking to be entertained, then look no further.

Gloria is an unusual girl and would be well suited to a home that can appreciate all her quirks & her great sense of humor.

She is quite large & can sometimes misstep & bump into things. For this reason, she would be best suited to kids at least 12 yrs old.

Ideally, her new family would be understanding & patient as some things could accidentally be knocked over.

Gloria is very intelligent & can map the layout of a house in a very short amount of time.

She is truly an amazing dog, what she lacks in sight she more than makes up for with her other senses. It's easy to sometimes forget she is actually blind.

Gloria is currently needing daily medications for her existing eye. We believe she can see some shapes/figures & some light. There is a chance she may need this removed at some stage also.

Gloria has a great outlook on life and being blind does not hold this girl back at all.

Gloria is such a unique & special girl, who deserves an equally special family.

If you can offer Gloria all that she needs & would love a chance to welcome her into your family, or want any more information, then please follow the prompts, and fill out her application form.

Gloria is a gorgeous girl but she is a special needs dog and has special requirements :

~A good-sized yard

~Someone home more often than not

~Understanding that blind dogs require a consistent environment with minimal movement of furniture and trip hazards to allow them the freedom to behave as a seeing dog would in their home

~Preferably with an existing dog would ideally be medium to large size, 2-7years with a calm and social nature.

~She may thrive in a single dog family as long as she is the focus of her human’s attention and not left alone all the time.

~No young children please as her training will need to be a priority for a while!

~Financially prepared to pay for long-term vet care - especially in regards to her eye and common Shepherd hip issues.
