Every once and a while a pet comes into our care that needs a little more than normal, and this is one of those cases. Byron is a two year old Shepherd cross who is a little bit of a wall-flower. Part of the reason is that he as a type of canine retinal degeneration. After having been checked out by a veterinarian he was deemed healthy in every other way and has no other health issues, nor will more arise because of the degeneration in his eyes.
What does this mean for Byron? Dogs with this type of issue have the symptoms progress over time. They usually experience night blindness first and then the condition progresses. Already it has been noticed by the staff that he seems to have very little peripheral vision and can only tend to see things straight ahead.
Because of all of this Byron needs a special home. His assessment has already labeled him as a wallflower meaning that he needs a patient owner with a relaxed lifestyle. We would not be doing the best for Bryon by placing him in a home with children as the sudden movements that he cannot see are not fair to him. He is sweet and with some gentle guidance and a little help he will make a wonderful companion. Here is the best part, because of Byron's existing medical issue his adoption fees are waived.If you think that you are that right person for Byron because contact the office today. As you can see from his photos he's a smiley guy who needs the right home, we hope it won't be long before he finds his perfect match.
