Sweet blind dog who smiles ‘non-stop’ can’t adjust to Texas shelter life. Home needed
A small dog with a resilient mindset and love to give is in need of a new home with people who care just as deeply as he does.
The Pflugerville, Texas animal shelter posted about Radar, an 8-year-old sweetheart of a pup who was surrendered with heaps of matted fur so bad that after he was groomed, literal pounds came off him. He’s also blind.
“Radar recently came into our custody in very rough shape, with pounds of severely matted fur that needed to be shaved off,” the shelter said in a July 18 Facebook post. “He is a blind, 8-year-old senior pup who has had a hard time adjusting to the shelter life.”
Luckily for Radar, an angel of a volunteer stepped in and rained down love upon the little dog.
“One of our volunteers, Erin, has taken it upon herself to spend time with Radar and is making sure he is just as loved as any other pup here,” the post continued. “She has given him baths (which he seemed to enjoy!) and is fostering him for the time being, where he’s been smiling nonstop!”
Photos posted by the shelter show Radar enjoying the benefits of foster life — which, yes, includes baths and some much needed attention. Erin even shared some pictures and videos of Radar in the comment section, one of which shows him excitedly enjoying some peanut butter.
People sent their love to both Radar and his foster mom in the comments.
“The foster is an angel and no one should be scared of adopting a blind dog, they adapt remarkably!” one person said.
“Thank god for volunteers like Erin! Radar thanks you!” another expressed.

Pflugerville is about a 15-mile drive northeast from Austin.
