SMOKIE THE WHIPPET CROSS IS IN URGENT NEED OF A FOREVER SOFA
Smokie is ten years young but sadly has lost his sight and because of this is increasingly unhappy about being left home alone. A non-pedigree whippet with a dash of something else in the mix, he comes from a loving family where unfortunately everyone works and he now needs a forever sofa in a house where someone is around for most of the day.
Although Smokie responds to commands designed to help him navigate he will do best in a house where he can be kept away from stairs and steps, and he needs access to a level garden without ponds or similar hazards. Child friendly he nonetheless will only cope with visiting rather than resident younger children due to the problems scattered toys etc. may pose to him. The company of another quiet dog or cat would not go amiss however. He still enjoys his walks but because of his disability will need to be kept on the lead away from home.
If you have experience of living with a blind dog - or are ready and willing to learn how to do so - and think you are that very special person Smokie is looking for then please email us.
