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.
