Shelter seeks special owner for lovely blind dog who recently lost her sight

An Ohio animal shelter is searching for a special person to adopt a beautiful blind dog who recently lost her sight. On Friday, the Medina County SPCA announced that it was taking applications for Selena, a sweet dog in need of a caring and understanding owner.

The animal welfare organization writes:

She’s clearly been through a lot of not very good stuff, lately. And she’s still learning how to adapt to losing her sight. So let’s lay it out for you…First of all, she’s a sweet girl! Nervous around new people at first, she warms up quickly and loves to be close to you.

According to the shelter, Selena walks nicely on a leash, takes treats gently, and loves to have her butt scratched. Though Selena is house-trained, the shelter hopes that her new owner will understand that there might be a few “accidents” until she gets to know her new surroundings.

The shelter describes her ideal home:

She would need a calm, low key home without small children to startle her. Right now, it’s best if there are no other dogs in the home. We recommend crate training or gating off a smaller area for her when you’re not home so she doesn’t get “stuck” somewhere. Also, stairs are a danger for her – either no stairs or gating off stairs for her safety is strongly recommended.

Adding:

What’s VERY important for this dog is a stable home environment. She needs someone who doesn’t move house often. Someone who isn’t going to rearrange the furniture. Someone who will make her comfort and sense of safety a priority.

Does Selena sound like your perfect dog? You can reach out to the shelter at (330) 723-7722.
