Brenner

Say hello to Brenner, our new family member. Brenner is a seven-year old BC who the SPCA removed from a bad situation in PA. He made his way to Glen Highland Farm, a wonderful border collie rescue organization in Morris, NY, near Oneonta, run by Lillie Goodrich. We met him there yesterday (3/10/12).

Brenner had been at the farm for about a year waiting for the proper family to adopt him. Lillie thinks it took so long because he's an older guy and because he has Progressive Retinal Atrophy, a genetic disease that causes blindness in dogs. His sight is fine right now, but over time he may start to lose central vision. Blind dogs do quite well in familiar areas, so it's extra important for him to have a stable home now.

Brenner is very excited to be exploring his new digs. We are learning his likes and dislikes, and he is doing the same. He's a very sweet guy and is settling in well. We're not yet sure if we will keep his adoption name. Suggestions are welcome.

He is sure making us happy.
