There is no cure, just getting used to being blind. It is progressing daily, unfortunately, so I will soon be totally blind.
Obviously stairs are to be avoided, not only due to my breed, but now my blindness.
I’m super friendly, great with kids and other dogs. I just need a place where I can walk around without bumping into too many things. Eventually, I’ll know my way around.
If you want to become my new family, please apply. I deserve a great home and will give you all my love in return.
My name is Tino and I’m a tripod. I came to this beautiful country just before the ban so I’ve been waiting for my new home for a year now. I was about 2 years old, so that makes me almost 3 years old now.
I’m a beautiful mutt, a common street dog, from Lebanon, and some idiot decided to hit me with his car. It’s kind of a “sport” over there. Thankfully someone witnessed it, and rescued me.
My leg couldn’t be saved, so amputation was the way to go. And “go”, I can! You’d never know I am missing a leg. I can run, play, jump, climb stairs, just like any other smart dog.
I’m an active dog who LOVES people, I greet everyone who comes over and I have a lovely goofy side! I even sing karaoke with my foster mom! We can also do “car karaoke” since I adore going for rides.
Even though I’m a sweetheart and very affectionate, I am jealous and protective when it comes to other pets. I don’t want to share my human with another dog, and certainly NOT a cat. Therefore it is best that I be “the” dog in your life. Kids can be a part of that, if they’re gentle and dog savvy.
I can stay home while you’re gone, and my big voice would scare a robber. Of course I know that my bathroom is outdoors, so no worries there.
My one and only FAULT, I’m strong. Walking me can be challenging especially if I see dogs, squirrels or other critters on my walks. I’m a big strong boy, so you need to be stronger or willing to teach me. It won’t get better without help! I’d rather run around free, but in this free world, I need to be on a leash I can’t run free. The irony .
I’ll make you laugh, I’ll keep you warm, I’ll be your best friend if you give me that chance.
