Handsome blind boy Gabriel is still with us and looking for his forever home and humans ๐ค๐ผ๐ก
Gabriel came to Little Legs before Christmas after his owner was going to put him to sleep because of his lack of sight at only four years old. Gabriel had one eye removed due to a ruptured corneal ulcer, then developing an ulcer in his remaining eye ๐ you can see the bluey scarring on his eye which means he is now sadly completely blind.
Despite this, Gabriel is fun and loving. He is in foster with lots of other dogs and only feels intimidated by the much larger ones. He loves playing in water and with the hose pipe, chin scratches and snacks. When he comes for a cuddle he likes to smell and nibble your face to show affection. He has amazing hearing and smell and finds his way around very well with a little guidance. Heโs even started to initiate play with the other Frenchies. He does this by leaning in and rubbing up alongside them, they in turn like to nuzzle and chase him very gently. They definitely know heโs special and they are very kind to him.
We know the disabled dogs like Gabe can take a long time to rehome, so for now heโs living as a long term resident with our other broken biscuits. Still perfect to us just a little damaged on the outside ๐ฅฐ๐๐ก๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ but arenโt we all? ๐พ
