I've found my furever family!

SPIN's Kelly has some issues with her eyes.  She doesn't do well in bright light.  It is apparent that her irises do not open and close properly (so in bright light, too much light gets in!).  Sometimes it seems that she can see fine, and sometimes it seems that she has some trouble seeing.

We took her to see a doggy eye specialist and he did a test of the eyes using a specialized ultrasound system.  She had to stay at the clinic for half the day for this.  (I note that the staff at the clinic were all in love with Kelly - she was obviously a bit frightened, but was quiet and did not howl or complain like others in the clinic that day.  One of the techs actually thanked her for behaving in such a lady-like way!).  Anyway ... It turns out that the problem is not actually with her eyes.  The eyes appear to be functioning normally. She was placed on prednisone and her vision improved. 

Kelly needs to stay out of bright light - staying in the shade as much as possible.  We are also getting her used to wearing doggy sunglasses! 

Kelly is looking for a quiet, patient home. Rescued from a shelter, she is sweet but skittish and thrives with routine and gentle care. She enjoys the company of other dogs, loves liver treats, and needs regular eye care for her UV sensitivity. Kelly would do best in a calm environment with another dog to help her build confidence. If you're ready to give Kelly the loving home she deserves, we'd love to hear from you! Contact us.
