Russell (Ray 12-074) [1]

Welcome Ray to RAGOM!   He is a beautiful cream colored, 9 week old, 10-pound puppy - ½ GR, ¼ yellow lab and ¼ Australian Sheppard.  Ray is blind in one eye, and farsighted in the other He has been with us for a week and is a very well adjusted boy.   We are not sure about his hearing at this time.  He gets around well, cocks his head a lot to see better with his good eye.  We keep everything in the same place (except puppy toys that get scattered around).  He is doing well on potty training, mostly outside – but if not he goes at the door on the towel/papers when I don’t get to him in time.

He has been to the vet and received his puppy shots.  We also brought him to an eye specialist who confirmed his vision issues.  He gave us great easy suggestions on how to teach him and keep him safe. 

He plays well with his siblings, our resident 2 yr old, and all of the children he has met 7-15 years old.  He does have those sharp baby teeth!! He is a joy to be with – lots of puppy kisses and cuddles and loving.  He plays hard, takes lots of naps, is crate trained and sleeps thru the night!

Ray will need a special family who understands his special needs, a calm, safe home that doesn’t have clutter or need to be rearranged.  He can have another “calmer” dog, as he shouldn’t rough house too much and the other dog can show him the ropes.  No young children.

If you would like to meet this handsome guy, please contact your RAGOM placement advisor.   We have lots of great info to share about blind/special needs puppies!
