Even a blind dog can have a Merry Christmas if he has a "furever" home...

Peli, a one year old Maltese who was blind since birth has been adopted. He will be going to his new "furever" home on December 17, 2011. Peli's good friend, Trixie, a young Maltese cross of undetermined origin will be going to the same home to keep Peli company and help him adjust...

Peli's story: I picked up Peli from the Apple Valley, California, Animal Shelter and brought him to a canine eye specialist in Los Angeles. He had been a stray in Apple Valley and the shelter personnel thought that his lack of sight was due to the numerous foxtails that had scratched his cornea. However, the little guy had been blind from birth beause his eyes had never developed. Someone dumped him on the streets but he is a survivor and made it. That is me holding Peli at the eye doctor. We bonded immediately.

Peli had been adopted soon after he arrived as a foster at our home but, his new mom was moving into a new house and we thought that Peli would be better off staying as a foster at our home until the move was made so he would not need to get used to two new houses. He is a darling little boy and is quite brave and independent. In this rather long video, we see him running around in my yard, just like a dog who can see..

He's such a cute little thing. Like the 2nd picture a lot. Thank you for being there for him, the wife and I get all our dogs from rescue and we would like to foster but I'm afraid I'd keep all the fosters.. lol

Peli and Trixie have done very well in their furever home. Their mom just loves these two dogs to death and I am sure that they are returning the love she is giving them.

We receive emails every couple of weeks about their adventures and that is what makes rescue work so rewarding!
