Story
Meet Gruber!
8-year-old Gruber was brought to Chula Vista Shelter as a stray, and after a microchip was found, his owner was contacted. Sadly, they didn't come for Gruber, but given the neglected condition he was in, it may have been for the best.
While at the shelter, Gruber had dental surgery, was neutered, and his bulging, painful left eye was removed. Thankfully, since becoming a Frosted Face, he has been receiving lots of wonderful TLC in comfort of a foster home, and he is doing great!
Gruber is going to have his remaining non-visual eye removed in February because drops haven't improved the glaucoma pressure in it, and we don't want him to be in pain. With how happy and resilient Gruber has proven to be, we know he will do just fine without it!
Gruber's foster mom shares:
"Gruber is a very sweet, friendly, and happy-go-lucky guy. While he cannot see, he mapped out my house and backyard in about 2 days. His hearing is good and he can also sense when people are near, and that's his favorite thing in the world. He always wags his tail when he is near someone.
Gruber is very cuddly and ideal for someone who wants a lap dog. He is easy to take places and always willing to go on an adventure.
Gruber enjoys walking around the yard for 30-60 minutes/day. We take a neighborhood walk a couple days per week, and he loves walking on a leash and sniffing around. He is easy to carry or put in a stroller.
Gruber eats easily in the kitchen with a couple of my dogs. He loves food and will eat anything. I put his food in a slow feeder or puzzle to give him more enrichment. He's hilarious and sometimes sounds like he's growling or in a fight, but it's just him arguing with the puzzle!
Gruber wore a belly band for a few days, but when they were consistently dry, I stopped using them. He holds it overnight and for a long time during the day. I take my dogs out pretty regularly, but I think he might be able to hold it quite a bit longer.
Gruber gets along great with my four dogs. If a dog barks at him, he might bark back and not always. He's been friendly and happy to meet anyone, animals or people."
