Just ran across this posting on the GRF.com forum. The poor boy is blind and terrified of being in the shelter (North Central Animal Care and Control in L.A.). I'm hoping someone with knowledge of this area can contact a rescue and get this boy in a foster home. He just looks so sad.

Oh I wish I lived closer - I'd take that poor little baby in a second. Is there anyone in that part of CA who can help? Or at least put the word out about him?

I e-mailed Retrievers and Friends rescue last night (no room to take him) and the Golden Retriever Club of L.A.'s rescue group as well. No response yet from the latter. I know the Golden Retriever Forum folks are also working to help him.

That is sad.

He'd be perfect in an acreage place with a large fenced yard like ours, a place with infinite corners to explore but where he can't wander off and would still be safe.

I hope he finds a great home very soon.

It looks as though a volunteer from Homeward Bound GRR in the Sacramento area is going to try to get him! Will keep you posted. I've been so worried about this guy. Let's hope he's soon in a nice, safe foster home.

The website says this group got him:

That is awesome news! I am so relieved. I don't really care which rescue group helped this poor guy; the important thing is that he's out of the shelter and in a safe place.

Yep, he is safe. Talked to HB bound. Hope 4 Animals got there first. I am relieved also. I am fostering a blind dog right now for HB so I can imagine how scared the poor guy was. So disoriented.

What a relief!

Ann,

I posted this on another forum. I know some people who work with blind dogs.

I sent this to Mary C too. Even though she's not in Southern California, maybe she can help.

Bless everyone who helped this poor boy!!
