Meet Khaleesi
She is a gem that’s been dealt a tricky hand, though in the right home, she could flourish and return the love that she is given.Â
Khaleesi is a 1 year old, black German Shepherd who is blind. She is sweet, loving, and looking for someone she can trust to show her the way.Â
Despite the challenges her lack of sight has caused, Khaleesi still has a zest for life and is very playful with people and dogs. She sometimes forgets her size and so four legged playmates of similar size are preferable. As Khaleesi is not able to see or read body language, she does require help with introductions and some oversight to ensure play doesn’t escalate too much or become overwhelming. Ideally, her playmates are not overly dominant and more easygoing. And since she does better during daytime than at night, we think she can see some shadows and possibly larger shapes.Â
Khaleesi absolutely loves to go for car rides. If the drive culminates with a walk in a park where you’d be willing to be her guide, she would be a grateful companion. At home, Khaleesi is very cuddly and affectionate, and loves being held and pet. Though she also loves the comfort of her crate and does very well being crated.Â
Being a young dog, Khaleesi is still learning house manners and general rules for coexistence. As is typical with shepherds, she does have prey drive and is more suited to a home without small animals or cats. We would love to find someone for Khaleesi that will enjoy spending time with her to teach the right behaviours and build her confidence. Luckily, she is super smart and eager to learn.Â
While experience working with dogs or people that are mostly blind would be an asset, it is not a deal breaker. However, remembering that Khaleesi requires some special considerations is important. For example, if you try to pet her when she does not know you are there, she resorts to mouthing. Though if you talk to her and let her know you’re there, this is greatly reduced. If she is anxious or unsure on a leash, she may pace, though she settles if she knows you’re close by. Additionally, sitting or crouching with her and offering slow, calm strokes has a very soothing effect, making her calm and very sweet. As such, we are hoping to find her an adult home without the exuberance and hectic energy that children often bring. Empathy, patience, understanding, calmness, and a willingness to learn will go a long way to creating a home environment where Khaleesi can feel safe, comfortable, and grow into a loving and well mannered member of your household.Â
If you are able to open your heart and would like to provide this amazing, kind girl with a steady, nurturing home, she will repay you tenfold with her unconditional love and affection.Â
