About Wisp

Meet Wisp! Her adoption fee has been sponsored once she finds her perfect family! Wisp is a 1-2-year-old 39-pound Catahoula Leopard mix who may be blind and deaf, but she is absolutely, positively full of love. This sweet girl is SO affectionate. Once she knows you're there, she settles right in and melts into your touch. Give her some pets and she'll rest her head in your hand like she's saying, 'Please don't stop. I've been waiting for you.' And don't let her disabilities fool you-Wisp is a total goofball! She once climbed onto a bench with her person, promptly face-planted, and then just�'�| flopped. She's adorable, ridiculous, and completely lovable. Wisp LOVES water. She LOVES treats. And she REALLY loves balls. In fact, this blind little girl can somehow find her ball every time! Watching her enjoy the things she loves is pretty darn special. She's also easy on the leash. She may take off sniffing at first, but once she realizes you're there, she settles down and enjoys the walk. She would do best with a predictable routine and a safe, patient home where she can learn to navigate her world with confidence. Wisp would love to have a calm, confident dog friend to help guide her. She is not a fan of cats. We think she could do well with children, but she hasn't had the opportunity to meet kids yet, so that would need to be considered thoughtfully. Wisp is not currently housebroken and may potty in her kennel, so her forever family will need to be patient and willing to help her learn. She may experience the world differently than other dogs, but Wisp doesn't know that she is supposed to feel sorry for herself. She just knows she loves water, balls, treats, cuddles, and being close to her people. She deserves someone who will look past what she can't see or hear and fall completely in love with who she is. And trust us�'�| that part is going to be VERY easy. Adult 39 pounds Catahoula Leopard mix Blind & deaf Dog-friendly No cats Loves water & balls Sweet, affectionate & wonderfully goofy Needs patience with house training Looking for a loving, compassionate forever home Update from her foster: She has pretty much mastered the stairs and is now taking offense if we try to keep her close when we're going down. Lots and lots of energy, which is interesting to try and channel. Getting her to go to sleep can be a challenge, it usually takes her about an hour to wind down after the lights go out. Wisp doesn't need someone to feel sorry for her. She needs someone who will show her that she's finally home.
