Briar's Story
Background: Briar originally was part of a group of dogs that were seized from a hoarding case in Oxford, CT. She went to West Hartford animal control for a short time before finding her way to us. <br/>She was adopted right after coming to our rescue but returned because the adopters were concerned about what seemed to be a vision impairment. We had her seen by our own veterinarian and an opthalmologist. The ophthalmologist concluded that Briar does have congenital cataracts in each eye that are very small, and he thinks they should not progress. <br/>Briar is a super sweet and for the most part pretty docile dog. She gets the zoomies when running around with dog friends but she loves to be near her people and nap, or go for walks, or just hang around and watch TV. As long as it includes you and her, she is happy. <br/>Briar wants a home with at least one other dog companion who likes to play and hang out. Another dog in the home will help keep her confidence up. Someone who understands dogs that have slight visual impairment may take a bit slower to adjust to newer situations would be great for her. <br/>Special Needs: her eyes should be monitored for any changes. The ophthalmologist suggested she have them rechecked in a couple years or if anything seems to change with her sight. <br/>Energy level: low to medium. She likes to hang out all day but she's also up for whatever you want to do with her. She will go for walks or hikes, she will go to the park, she will wrestle with the other dogs. She's a pretty easy going girl. <br/>Her favorite thing is to be where her humans are. <br/>Commands: ????? She's working on it<br/>Dogs: Yes, she loves other dogs<br/>Cats: She likes cats. She is very curious about whatever they're doing.<br/>Kids: She has done well with kids in the past. Living with older mature kids may be best for her since they may understand better that a dog with a slight vision impairment may startle easily.<br/>House-trained: Yes<br/>Crate-trained: Yes<br/>Briar is about a year and a half old, 39# and is now spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and 4DX negative.<br/>Email catsnortheast@outlook.com for an app!<br/>Vet references required, adoption donation $375.
