Lucky is a handsome Border Collie who was rescued by the current family from a family member several months ago after realizing he was being severely neglected. His current family already has a number of animals and Lucky is restricted to a tie-out during the day. They are hoping he can go to a family/foster that can give him the love and attention he needs and deserves. Lucky had a tough go at first but is a resilient little guy who improves daily! Name: Lucky Age: 7-8 years Breed: Border Collie Sex: Male (neutered per vet) Location: Spartanburg County, SC Vet Info: When Lucky joined his current family, he had a severe intestinal parasite, a large laceration on his leg, and anxiety. He has since been treated thoroughly for the parasite, his leg is fully healed and he is currently on Trazadone intermittently for his anxiety. Lucky has been well taken care of by his current family and is up to date on all vaccines through October 2021. He is neutered per the vet, although they did not complete the procedure themselves. Dog Info: Lucky's owner tells us he is leash trained and housebroken, although he spends most of his time outside. Lucky is high energy and loves to be outside on his runner. He gets anxious with loud noises such as a leaf blower, as he's had a bit of a rough past where he was abused and neglected by his previous owner. He has since entered care with another family member and is well taken care of. He pretty much stays outside all day and sleeps in his kennel in the garage at night. He is very affectionate although he has really never been loved. Lucky has exhibited some food aggression in the past but nothing recent, and he seems to have taken very well to the new family he's with and improves daily. Lucky's owner also shared more details about how she is with other dogs and people: 'I don't feel that he has had adequate time with a small child to make that decision about safety. Lucky is great with our 16 year old, and he has been around our 4 year old but with restrictions since he's blind. She doesn't understand that she can't pull his tail and 'play vet' with him like our other dogs. We let her pet him while he's on a lead and he does fine, sometimes gives her kisses. Definitely not aggressive. We use a food scoop for him now with a longer handle which has helped with him snapping while being fed. Honestly it's been months since he's done it, but I would never keep that info from a potential forever family. This morning I took him out to his runner, I got down close to him and filled up his food and water at the same time and he did great.' Karli's owner is not sure of the cause of her blindness, but feels she may have slight vision. She writes 'Lucky was never vetted before coming to our home, so we don't know the exact cause of his blindness. We have been told abuse or possible sudden retina detachment. He is about 90% blind.' Lucky's owner wants us to know that he is a wonderful dog who has never received the adequate love and attention and her goal is to see him go to a home where he can finally flourish. **Owner Surrender Disclaimer: These are blind and visually impaired dogs who are living in homes, but their owners can no longer keep them.
