We Were Adopted! January 20th – January 26th!

It doesn’t take eyes to find an amazing family, they find you!!

At 8 years old, Apollo was found outside in incredible pain. He had one of the most uncomfortable eye injuries. One eye was red, inflamed, and bulging. The other was shrunken and clouded over, most likely from aggressive and untreated cataracts. The cataracts were beyond correction, and while we do not know how long his inflamed eye had been this way, we did know he needed surgery now.

Apollo underwent surgery for a double enucleation so readjusting to life would take a long time. Fortunately, one of our amazing fosters stepped up and offered him sanctuary and he adjusted faster than we could have ever hoped for!

Last week we shared an update on him enjoying his time in foster. His new family saw the update and he reminded them so much of their recently passed Husky, they were immediately pulled to meet him.

It was love at first sight (or scent for Apollo) to say the least! They shared with us that they researched for hours to ensure they knew all about blind dog care, and how to set them up for success, so we know he is in the best hands!

Thank you to Apollo’s foster parents for helping get him back on his feet in his time of need, and thank you so much to his adopters and new family for rescuing such a wonderful, deserving dog despite his inabilities!

Shout out to our sponsors this month at Piedmont Floor Show for supporting dogs like Apollo.
