My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Chance | Mix | 10-Years-Old | Neutered Male | Approx. 50 lbs.

Chance is a sweet mix who came to Lily’s as a stray from Southern CA. Poor Chance was found matted and dirty under a bush, looking for shelter from 100+ degree heat. He was blind in both eyes, covered in dreadlocks and emaciated.

During his initial medical exam at Lily’s, it was discovered that Chance had detached retinas in both eyes that were causing him extreme pain and were beyond repair. Consequently, Chance needed to have both eyes removed. He is recovering amazingly and getting engrained into the Lily’s routine – working on going through the dog door, going out on daily walkabouts in the grassy corral and getting lots of cuddles!

We believe that Chance’s blindness was somewhat new when we found him. We have introduced key words to help Chance navigate his newly dark world, pointing out “walls,” “steps” and more. He has responded extremely well to these queue words and the routine at Lily’s. He alerts by barking when he has to go potty and does his business right away once he feels the grass under his feet in the corral.

We are encouraged by the progress Chance has made and he will only continue to develop his senses to live a happy life with his new forever family. He will need humans that are willing to help him learn the ropes, providing lots of patience, love and encouragement.
