Brailles story
This is what we know about Braille. A young lady who brought him in to Humane Society SW Michigan said she found him by the corner of their street. The staff carefully and lovingly cared for Braille. He acted as if he hadn't eaten for a bit as well. MDRC was alerted that a blind puppy was in a shelter, so we immediately reached out. HSSWM was amazing to work with. They are a very caring group of people and were so happy Braille would get training and vet care.
MDRC works to provide a safe loving place for dogs with special needs that are able to be rehabilitated so they can live a long happy life in their new home. One day the vision would be to have a place for dogs who are not adoptable due to health reasons or needs.
Braille is getting lots of training and education to help him be independent. Confidence is the biggest hurdle but he is learning so fast.
If you have a blind or special needs puppy, please reach out to shelters or rescues. Don’t place them on a corner hoping they are found.
Braille could have been hit by a car or worse.
Braille will see Dr. Ramsey -The Animal Ophthalmology in October for his eyes. We don’t want to miss anything. Donations for his care, training and appointments are appreciated.

Braille was able to get a bath! He was neutered last week (August 15) and wanted to be sure he was healed before giving him a big bath. He did amazing. A little discombobulated at first but finally settled down. Because he has a longer coat, we are going to continue brushing every day and bathing once a week.
He is growing so fast and we are impressed with his weight gain. He arrived on the thin side. The shelter noted that he needed to gain some weight.

Braille is a wonderful blind pup who has been with us for almost a month. He has been such a good puppy. We have ups and downs with potty training and work hard at watching his cues. This is exactly why we wanted to save him. We know not everyone is patient with potty training a 40lbs puppy.
He is doing great with following me in the yard but we are still learning to be patient with grooming. He is still a puppy and we know it takes time.
We want to allow his coat to grow and keep him on a good schedule. It’s work BUT isn’t he beautiful?
