Maude has had a tough time of it recently but it has not stopped her from being the sweetest little girl.
Maude lost her sight quite suddenly earlier in the year and then after some sort of trauma to her right eye, it was damaged beyond repair and causing her a lot of pain so it needed removing.
Her surgery was only a month ago but Maude is all healed and ready to find herself an amazing forever home that can love and care for her for the rest of her life.
Maude has no handling issues and is quite a confident and happy girl despite everything. She does bump into things but is careful and gentle when she walks so if she does have a bump she does not hurt herself. Once she knows a layout in the home she will get around well.
Maude enjoys her walks but does not want to go out for hours, a couple of 30 min walks a day would be fine.
Maude might have a bark if a dog barks at her but can be around and could certainly live with another dog but not a boisterous dog that would be jumping on her, they would need to be calm.
Due to Maude’s blindness and the fact she has never lived with children, we would say any children in the home would need to be aged ten years old and upwards.
Maude would love a little secure garden of her own to have a potter about in.
