Update
“This is my dog Cashew! She is a chihuahua mix and is 8 years old. I adopted her a little over a year ago. Her previous owners surrendered her at the shelter because she was blind with a congenital retina defect where she is only able to see pitch black. With the halo, she is so confident! The halo is very good quality and strong so that she doesn’t hit her head against walls or corners when she is excited and running. She is so much happier with the donation, and we could not thank you enough!”
Sincerely,
Cashew’s Mama & Cashew
Backstory
Back Story:
I adopted Cashew over a year ago. She was originally from Vallejo, CA, but her original owners gave her up because she became blind. They also kept her in a crate, so she was unable to practice walking with her other senses while adjusting to being blind. Cashew’s blindness is due to genetics with her retinas. She became blind around age 7 with both eyes.
Cashew’s activity level is normal but walks slower than other dogs to avoid bumping into things, especially when at a new park. She would definitely benefit from a halo because she runs really hard into walls.
