Sweetie | Jack Russell Terrier
Sweetie, Blind Jack Russell Terrier, DOB 03.12 – Hailsham,
East Sussex Homing requirements: Sweetie needs a family who identify
with her special needs as a blind puppy. She needs guidance with touch, voice
tone and direction. Above all her owners will need to anticipate any dangers
for her within and outside of her home environment. She can fall into spinning as
a self stimulation mannerism either when excited, bored etc. Her spinning
lessens the more she is occupied and settled. Ideally to live with another
receptive dog who will relate to her puppy advances and provide a focus on her
walks. Video: Sweetie our little blind puppy feels and hears her
way on her walk - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGEdQFkjSt0&list=UUWOLAoc8P27jG6_o6FXlCpA&index=1&feature=plcp Her Story: Sweetie was 'handed in' as 'found'. The dog
warden was convinced it was her owner. Sweetie obviously couldn't go into
kennels as this would be especially disturbing for her so he took her home
overnight awaiting our research for an emergency foster place. Sweetie is now
in a foster place with another dog who is proving tolerant of her and they are
playing together. Fostered in East Sussex. 
Advert: Sweetie is a puppy who is trying to make her way in
life without or with very little sight. She accepts guidance and tutoring
really well. She is intelligent and keenly attuned to sound and touch to support
her engagement in acceptable and meaningful activity. Sweetie is housetrained
providing she has easy and regular access to a garden. She needs a quiet
household where she can learn to orientate herself and needs another dog
ideally who is receptive and supportive of her company. Sweetie is a young smooth haired Jack Russell with all the
'fun of a Jack puppy’ but with a bit of confusion in engaging in new
situations, learning what is acceptable in her situation and expected of her.
She walks well on an extender with her leader being her eyes and ensuring she
doesn’t hurt herself on bracken, or stumble into the road, objects and ensuring
she is received well if she enters another dog’s space. Sweetie loves her
cuddles. She seeks and needs a lot of reassurance as life is especially
challenging for her but she is learning to trust and move forwards with
confidence.
