Update 1/24: Lady and Bandit were turned in to the county shelter by their owner. He says they are brother and sister and that they are albino Australian Shepherds that are deaf. They are 2 years old and have never been apart. They are full of energy and seem to be happy with everybody. They both have the nub tail. They do not do well apart from each other so they will need to go together. If you can rescue this pair please contact rescuebrigade@gmail.com
SEX: Spayed Female
I did this eval in June 17th...
The owners are getting very antsy to place them. I'm afraid there going to dump them, so I'm spreading the word wide now. Rebecca here in Lexington also knows of some blind and/or deaf rescues that she's contacting. Any help you can put out is appreciated! :)
I went this afternoon to evaluate Lady and Bandit. They are two very sweet kids (approx 5 weeks old the week before Xmas) with lots of unspent energy, they've obviously not had the amount of time spent with them needed! :((
Lady, is a red merle and the smaller (slightly) approx. 25 lbs. Her vision is
fairly good but limited. Her hearing is another story. I'd say she probably only has about 10% hearing if that near as we could tell.
Bandit, is almost 100% white except one small black smudge on his left side. He weighs about 28 lbs. His vision appears to be more limited than Lady's about 50%. He wasn't running into anything but sticks close to his sister or a person and sniffs out a treat. I believe he has more hearing than his sister as he appears to respond to calling his name loudly where Lady didn't.
Bandit appears to have something wrong in his hind end but I'm not sure what. He has a funny walk. I have a girl with severe hip dysplasia in both hips and he doesn't walk anything like her. Its kind of like he's swinging his hips if that makes any sense? Yet his legs seem stay close together as he walks.
Both pups are very, very friendly, sweet and loving. They just do NOT get the attention and exercise needed. They are being kept on an enclosed back porch and taken outside whenever the notion hits the owners. She said Lady is broke to newspaper "all by herself" so they've never attempted to house break them.
These two pups have been brought to the shelter more than once by AC as they dig out of the fenced backyard because they are BORED!!! The last time the shelter director had to talk the owners into taking them back home because they were so full and they would help them find a rescue for them. According to the shelter they are completely unvetted but the owner told me they had their shots, yet I think she was bsing me.
