We just wanted to let all of the wonderful people involved with the rescue of Keller the blind German Shepherd. We didn't want to use anyone's email without your consent, so are sending it to you to forward to all.
Kelly, as we have now named her, is one remarkable dog. It is so hard to believe that after all she has been through, she just takes everything in stride. She is the perfect passenger in the car - just lays down and enjoys the ride.
Kelly loves to explore and doesn't seem shy about going to new places. She loves humans, but expectedly shows some defensive behavior to other dogs. At this point, we are just letting her enjoy the safety of her own home/area and she enjoys her new siblings through a gate.
Our vet said that she has a bit of respiratory rattle, so she is on antibiotics, but other than that, she is a picture of health. She is one tough little girl.
She picked up the layout of 4 rooms right away and has already learned to "step up" and "step down" to navigate our patio door and stoop. By this afternoon she decided that she wanted to take on the stairs to the second floor. She was so very excited that there was even more to explore! I guided her down the stairs by her collar and she did it without fear. Now that we know she can do that, time for another gate!
Sorry haven't had time to upload pictures, but will send them in a few more days.
We thank all of you for the wonderful thing you did for her (and all the other dogs previously!). She touches the hearts of all she meets. We are so very luck to have her.
