Story
Meet Guppy!
Hello! They call my Guppy, or Gup-Gup - and I can answer to both. I am VERY smart. I am also very special. I am a blind, two year old mixed breed dog. I was picked up as a stray and found a very special foster family who has been teaching me about being a dog.
It takes me awhile to get to know my surroundings and build trusting relationships, but once I do I am very loyal and playful. I love to sniff out my toys in the yard and leap around. Leash training is very helpful and important so that I know where it is safe for me to go. I do like to explore a bit too once I get comfortable. I love to be pet, and I give very big hugs and kisses. I do not know my own strength - at least that is what I hear.
I do things with great confidence and need someone who will help keep me safe and guide me. I am crate trained and very quiet when in the crate. I love to be with you and I do not pick things up or chew without permission. I hear “not yours” and “that’s moms”, so I better stop.
My foster family and their neighbors talk to me a lot so that I can get used to them and know where they are.
As you can imagine, things can surprise me and I do not really like surprises. I also HATE water. I will drink my water and am getting used to my bowl being filled, but I do not like the washing machine, dishwasher, hoses - and forget about a bath. That didn’t go so well the first time. It may take a bit.
Because I'm blind, I can get startled when life moves too fast. I would do best with older children that don't race around the house and understand that I can't see.
I am very sweet and will be a great family dog.
