Update
“We wanted to say THANK YOU to our special Angel at Second Chances for Blind Dogs. When Roxy went fully blind, not only did it become a struggle for her, but was also hard for us to watch. Seeing her run into the walls and furniture was truly heartbreaking. Without understanding blind dogs, we immediately thought her quality of life would suffer greatly. We were so wrong. Because of your donation, our sweet girl can maneuver around the house and outdoors. We can finally stop gasping each time she walks near something. She is now able to walk freely without fear. You are truly an Angel to us and to her. She has jumped so many hurdles with her health that we have no doubt, thanks to her new Muffin’s Halo, she will be able to adjust to being fully blind. Roxy is a fighter, she is definitely our little warrior dog! Thank you so much!”
Sincerely,
Kelly, Matt & Roxy
Back Story
Roxy is a 14-year-old blind#pomeranianmix. We got Roxy 5 years ago when her family put her up for free on Facebook. We found out a year after having her, she was Diabetic. Since then we have exhausted our finances with surgeries and trying to keep her healthy. She is scheduled soon for surgery with two tumors near her backside.
She went blind last year and has done well but now she is losing her smell and is hitting everything. I have moved furniture the best I can but I worry to leave home. She has already walked off our deck because of her sniffer not working like it was before. So she is not only blind by sight but blind by the nose. Your help with a halo would be a blessing and so appreciated. I am a chronic patient myself and deal with my own disabilities on a daily basis. I don’t want to see my dog suffer. She’s a great dog and our only baby! She saves me, I have to save her. Thank you.
She can still walk around the block, but she prefers to stroll. We bought a stroller when we first got her 5 years ago and we try to get her to walk on cooler days and stroll on the hotter days. She doesn’t play with her toys as much but she does get a burst of energy once and a while. She does like to walk around the yard too.
