The guy is right about the fee for adopting a pet that needs a home it's ridiculous. I forgot where the thread is, but is someone wants to give a home to a dog who needs one they shouldn't have to pay for it.

First of all I'm just thinking about it. I can't have pets where I live not, but I'm ready to move anyway, but it's gonna be 2 months at the soonest. I would need a small dog because most apartments will only allow that.

There is a cute 6 year old dog who is blind that I found a picture and ad of online. He's a Yorkie Terrier. I know he is special needs, but I would be willing to take him. they still want $100 for him and they want $250 for younger dogs. It's no surprise that people would rather just buy a dog than rescue one. Plus you have to fill an application that is more involved than a rental application.

I never had a dog before, so it would be a challenge, but I'm open to it. I know it's a big commitment, but there are a lot of rewards that come with it.
 
Will you be able to get into the habit of picking up excrement every day of every week?
 
Thats really beautiful. I love the you would be willing to take in special needs dog. If you are up for it. I say thats amazing and good luck to you.
 
I get nothing but rescue pets from the pound. Always have and always will. The cat I got from the pound when I was 12 I had for 23 years.

My motto is, "Recycle a life-adopt a pet".
 
I don't know anything about the challenges of caring for a blind dog.

Does anybody here have experience with one?

I would certainly look into that aspect before adopting him.

I approve of your good heart, just make sure that you are really up to the demands it will place on you.
 
I can answer this post with how I got my dog. My dog was left at a shelter because the owner was traveling cross country for a job and didn't want to take him with her so he ended up there. I got him at a shelter and have loved him ever since. They do such extensive screening because many of the dogs that end up in shelters are like the case I described above. They want to make sure you can afford to take of the dog.

Growing up my family had a blind or almost blind dog. The only real difference that I remember was Fred was slow to come to us because of things in his way. He walked slowly so he wouldn’t bump into things, but with his sense of smell he was still very independent.

It would be a good idea to keep the layout of your place the same, with as little clutter as possible. Also find a good central place for the dog’s water and food dishes.

Thanks to those of you who sent kind responses. He's 6 years old. A lot of people don't want older dogs either, it's a shame.

I hope I can get him or that he goes to a good family otherwise. It won't be for a while, my current apartment doesn't allow pets.

I checked online there are things you can do, and the add says he is trained to respond to your voice. I can't afford large apartments anyway and if I do get him we will figure things out. I'll be cuddling him most of the time anyway. You can also make a doggy cane by putting cable ties to a leash and that acts as a barrier. I will guide him for walks and he will learn his way around my place eventually.
 
My friend had a dog that lost his sight due to diabetes. He led a good life for several years until he passed away. We did nothing really special for him. While walking him we would say "be careful" when there was something in his path and he would slow down and sniff out the object. When he was off the leash he would never get to far from us. In the house he learned the placement of the furniture and got around just fine. His only mishaps were with stairs in strange (to him) places, once in awhile he would misjudge the last couple of steps and stumble but never bad enough to hurt himself.
 
The biggest impediment is who is going to take care of him while you are at work, assuming you do work and assuming you live alone.

Yes, this poor dog will need to be trained where and when it can be allowed to excrete.

I wonder if dogs can be trained to excrete on demand at a particular time of the day or night. I'm guessing you'll need to train it to do it in a special place within your new apartment.

The ad says he's housebroken, but I think there would be challenges with him because he would have to learn where the weewee pads are. Otherwise you have to take them out every 4 hours or so.

You can train them to poo outside during their walk by making it a regular thing.
 
Definitely rewarding having a puppy (No matter how old they are, they're all puppies). I, too, also hope that if not you, then a good family takes him in and treats him well. Good luck!
 
Our dog came from the pound and she is so special to us that money didn't even factor into it. This is her home.

If this is the little guy I want him.

I got my dog as a rescue and he had his nose all scarred and he was so scared when he came home that he peed all over. No big deal that was six months ago and he runs the show now....totally trained for what he has to do.
 
Get a Yorkie, Husky, or Shepard. All three are super smart, super loyal, and super gorgeous

that's him. he such a cutey. If I can't have him if and when I move I hope he finds a person to care for him. I think the organization he's with has him in a volunteer home, so I think he's being well taken care of.
