Victoria is blind. And she is in an asylum. A place full of noises she can't place, smells that confuse her, stress from other dogs that she can't avoid. For a dog that can't see, life out there is downright scary.
She has no panic, no trauma, no aggression — she is just gentle, sweet and affectionate. But she lacks what every animal needs: peace, safety, stability.
Victoria is not a dog that you "just save". She is not an impulse adoption. But if you have a warm heart, and feel that you can only give that little extra... then you get an incredibly sweet dog for that.

Blind dogs are amazing. We adopted a blind podenco 3 1/2 years ago. Bo was 9 years old and had lived on a chain most of his life, starved with a concrete bed. The scars on his body are testament to that. He can see shadows but as with all blind dogs, he uses his nose and ears to 'see'. He very rarely bumps into things; in the garden he uses the different surfaces to find his way around - concrete path, grass lawn and when he steps on a flower bed soil, he backs off. He runs free in a dog park, but otherwise is always on a lead. As he weighs nearly 30kg, we use a fold up plastic ramp for him to get into and out of the car. And as he wears a Blind Dog harness, people always stop us to ask about him and how he copes - such a good way to advertise how amazing blind dogs are.
