About Sadie

Sadie is a 2-year old, blind, Great Pyrenees dog. Whoever gets Sadie needs to be well aware that she is blind. Both retinas detached when she was 5-months old and she developed glaucoma in her right eye a couple of months later. She had a prosthetic eye put in to maintain the eye socket and facial structure. Because she went blind at such an early age, she handles her blindness well and if one didn't know it they would think she is just partially blind. But, she is completely blind and has the associated needs and special issues that might be expected. She does great with strangers but they need to approach her slowly so she knows where they are when they touch her. She also uses her sense of smell a lot to discover the people and things around her. This means she may get a bit overly 'personal' when sniffing you out. Sadie is a typical Great Pyrenees dog in every way except for her blindness although she is a little on the small side. She loves to play, is great with people and other animals. She is not an alpha dog by any means and we have experienced other dogs taking her under their wing to protect her during play and when going up steps and such. Sadie loves to be outside, enjoys being held, and likes to be close to her family
