My personality

My story

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

Meet Summer!!

This special girl is one true underdog. Summer is approximately 3 years old, 40lbs, and we think maybe a cattle dog mix. She is completely deaf and almost entirely blind. Sadly, she found herself at the city shelter on the euthanasia list, since she had medical needs.

She can see up close, so she doesn't walk into things but things at a distance scare her. She goes out with lots of dogs and does fine, but sometimes in a crate can bark since she isn't sure what she is seeing far away. She is lovely when you are with her, accepting pets and giving kisses.

She went to the eye doctor and clearly has vision issues including cataracts which may resolve but could come back. She may be completely blind in the future. The vet said it wouldn't be wrong to euthanize!!! BUT we said no way, this girl has an adopter out there.

She's truly a loving dog, and enjoys affection. She would do best in an adult only home, or with older kids since little ones would be too much for her. She is fostered with lots of dogs and does well, but needs a home either as an only dog or with a dog/dogs that are older or calmer in nature. Having dogs running and jumping on her is scary for her.

If interested, she is located in Houston and but we offer transport to the Northeast and a foster to adopt option.

NOTE: she tested heartworm positive but has since received treatment.
