About Sushi

Sushi is a gentle soul who navigates the world without sight. Completely blind in both eyes, he relies on his brother Ollie for guidance, especially out on walks or in unfamiliar settings. Sushi takes time to familiarize himself with new spaces, sniffing and exploring until he's comfortable. When out and about, he moves well on a leash but can be startled by unexpected noises or approaching people and dogs. Sushi plays and bonds closely with Ollie; their connection runs deep. At home, Sushi sleeps soundly in his playpen, has the occasional accident but is learning to use a pee pad, and is making progress with outdoor potty breaks. Always affectionate, he adores snuggles and is generous with kisses. Sushi is a Pisces, known for their sensitivity and gentleness. They have been together with Ollie since birth, and Sushi thrives with a consistent, understanding routine. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
