Meetup topics: Blind Pets, Pets & Animals, Dog Rescue, Visually Impaired, Animal Welfare, Social Networking

Founded: July 21, 2009

The intent of this group is to provide support and camaraderie for those living with/rehabilitating visually impaired dogs. Share tips and stories, meet for doggie play dates, make connections with others who understand the challenges and rewards of caring for pets with special needs.

All dogs are at different stages of socialization so the profile questions will help me get a sense of what types of events will be beneficial to this community. Please post ideas and location suggestions too!

  “My doxie Ginger is a former puppymill breeder who's KCS (dry-eye) went untreated so long it scarred her corneas. She is blind in one eye & only sees some shadows in her other. She copes so well that very few people even realize she can't see!”
