When we took Pan in she had been placed in kennels while her owner was in hospital after a heart attack. The kennel owner suggested we had her PTS because she was stir crazy in the kennels, hyper' and barking all the time. They thought she was aggressive and potentially dangerous.
We thought otherwise and here she is now, nearly 9 years later, a happy little soul. It did take a fair bit of work, but was well worth it.
Preserving life is generally worth a bit of work.

She is amazing. I have heard of people putting dogs down because they were blind and they said the dog was suffering. What rubbish! Well done Border Collie Rescue.

We see a fair few blind and deaf BC's through our care. I haven't yet seen one that was suffering because it was blind or deaf.
Suffering because it had insensitive and impatient owners in some cases and suffering because it was misunderstood in most cases.
Nature compensates and if one sense is affected the others are accentuated.
We have had one dog through that was born blind and deaf and had three legs after an accident. He found a new home and still thrives.
