Falkor's Story

Hi friends — my name is Falkor, and even though I can’t see the world, I still think it’s a pretty wonderful place. 🤍<br/><br/>I’m estimated to be around 4 years old, and I was found as a stray at a local animal control where I really needed someone to notice me and help me get out safely. Thankfully, rescue stepped in and gave me that chance.<br/><br/>I’m blind, and the humans think I was probably born this way. But honestly? I don’t let it slow me down much at all. Once I learn my surroundings, I move around just fine and live life like any other dog. I use my nose, my ears, and my heart to guide me.<br/><br/>I’m also heartworm positive right now, but the good news is my rescue is covering my treatment so I can get healthy. What I really need now is a family willing to see past my medical stuff and realize I’m just a happy, loving dog who wants to belong somewhere.<br/><br/>Being blind doesn’t make me broken. It just means I experience the world differently. I still love soft beds, kind voices, gentle pets, and feeling safe beside my people.<br/><br/>I’ve spent enough time being overlooked. I’m ready for a home where I’ll never have to wonder if I’m wanted again.<br/><br/>Maybe you could be my eyes... and I could be your best friend. 🐾<br/>apply at www.bigdogsdontcry.com
