About Keller

MEET KELLER….a b/w, 8-10 yr old, 10 lb, Shih Tzu, who is an absolute treasure. It’s unimaginable to believe he was tied up to a tree, in the pouring rain, and left — just plain left behind 🙁 How anyone could do that to this precious soul, we do not know. We received a call from a Good Samaritan to see if we could take this boy — and after looking into his cloudy but loving eyes — of course we said yes! Keller has glaucoma, predominately in his right eye, and heavy pigmentation in his left. He is likely blind but may see shadows. While his eye pressure was off the charts, the medication we are giving him is helping to make him comfortable. He is smart as a whip, as he was shown to the steps in the backyard to go out, and he didn’t need to be shown a second time — he knew where to go! He has a “high stepping” trot outside and is pretty quick on his feet! At adoptions, he kind of tramples over the other dogs and is like a comedian to watch! He gets along great with dogs and cats but doesn’t need either in the house. He can be very vocal because his hearing has taken over for his eyes, so he likely would be better in a home vs. a condo or apartment. He likes to sleep a lot during the day…but when it comes time for dinner or treats…he’s right in line with the rest of the crew! If you are looking to help save a very worthy pup, please take a look at Keller. With a little attention from you, he will fill your heart with love and joy.
