Adopter Punk
Croisé · Mâle · Senior · 9 ans
Les chiens qui ne naissent pas aveugles, mais qui perdent leur lumière au fil du chemin, font toujours réfléchir à ce que c'était d'avoir vu. Comment se déplacer dans l'espace, quelle confiance en soi ils avaient, comment était leur vie, leur marche, leur allure. Punk est un chien très doux et coopératif. Il est extrêmement calme en refuge, il ne parle pas, il ne dérange pas, il a simplement accepté que cette soit sa vie, et il apprécie ce peu que nous lui offrons. Bien qu'il ne voie pas, il aime vraiment la promenade. Il a cette superbe façon de marcher que tous les chiens aveugles ont, où leurs pattes avant se lèvent avant de faire un pas, pour éviter tout obstacle, et semblent vouloir galoper au ralenti. Il a terminé son traitement contre la leishmaniose, et est un chien en bonne santé et fort. Il souffre d'otite chronique et ses oreilles nécessiteront une surveillance régulière. Lorsqu'il est arrivé, il était dans un très mauvais état, ses oreilles le faisaient beaucoup souffrir et il était stressé. Il va mieux maintenant, et ses oreilles ne lui font plus aussi mal, mais il ressent probablement encore un certain inconfort.

Dogs that are not born blind, but lose their sight later in life, always make you wonder what they were like when they could see. How did they move through the world? How confident were they? What was their life like? Their walk? Their posture? Punk arrived at the shelter already blind and exhausted from life on the streets, as well as from a chronic ear infection that had been troubling him for a long time. He has a very gentle nature. He is sweet, calm, and completely cooperative. He has accepted that this is his reality, and he finds joy in the small things we are able to offer him. Like all dogs with a disability, he does not perceive it the way humans do. For Punk, this is simply life, and he lives each day much like any other dog. He navigates the world primarily through his sense of smell and hearing. Punk also "maps" his surroundings and gently tests the space in front of him with his nose to determine whether there is an obstacle ahead. He loves going for walks. He has that wonderful gait so characteristic of blind dogs: lifting his front legs high before each step to avoid obstacles, as if he is trying to canter in slow motion. He is so skilled at finding his way around that he knows exactly where the cats are housed at the shelter. And for some reason, Punk is not a fan of cats at all. Punk is deeply people-oriented and understands that trusting humans makes his life easier. When out on walks, he stays closely connected to the person accompanying him and responds beautifully to guidance, whether it comes through a gentle tug on the leash or a simple word. Punk is a remarkably resilient dog. Because of his chronic ear condition, his ears will need regular monitoring. Thankfully, they are much improved now. He is no longer in pain, although he may still experience occasional discomfort from time to time. One thing is certain: life with Punk would be peaceful, steady, and free from drama or surprises. Whoever chooses to open their home to him will gain a wonderful, affectionate companion.
