Our lovely Reuben hasn’t had the slightest bit of interest yet. 😞
He’s hoping his limited sight isn’t putting people off, because he wants everyone to know that his disability doesn’t define him, and he leads a very happy life!
Reuben turns 4 in December, and we would absolutely love to see him settled into a home of his own before his next birthday.
Reuben would love a home with his own garden to potter around in and a family who will take him on the walks he enjoys so much. He copes with these just fine and has so much life to enjoy!
He doesn’t mind other dogs, although he can be a little overexcited and silly at times! His limited sight can mean he has the odd clumsy moment during play, so he could potentially live with a large, very relaxed dog who wouldn’t mind the occasional accidental bump. 🐾
No cats and older dog savvy children preferred who understand Reuben needs to be approached calmly and given the chance to know they are there.
As well as being a cuddly and affectionate boy, Reuben has plenty of personality and comes with all the typical Husky extras, including:
🐺 Husky tantrums when it’s time to come inside ✅
🐺 Husky backchat, usually when negotiations about coming inside aren’t going his way ✅
A little bit about Reuben’s eyes and his ongoing care:
Reuben is completely blind in one eye and has limited sight in the other. His blind eye needs to be monitored, as pressure can build up and, if this happens, he may need surgery.
He has also recently undergone entropion surgery on his eye with limited sight to stop his eyelashes from rolling inwards, which has made him feel much more comfortable.
We understand that the thought of adopting a dog with additional medical needs can be daunting, so we want to reassure potential families that any future eye issues will be covered by us as pre-existing conditions. His new family won’t need to worry about arranging cover for these issues themselves.
We’re also happy to discuss Reuben going into a permanent foster home rather than being formally adopted, if that would help open up more possibilities for this special boy. 💙
🥺 Please don’t let Reuben’s limited sight be the reason you scroll past him.
He’s still a happy, loving, playful boy who deserves a family of his own. He might see the world a little differently, but he has just as much love to give.
Can you offer Reuben the home he’s been waiting for?
If you can’t offer him a home yourself, please consider sharing his post. You never know who might be out there looking for a boy just like Reuben, and your share could be the one that finally helps him find his family. 💙
