Adottare Punk
Incrocio · Maschio · Anziano · 9 anni
Cani che non sono nati ciechi, ma che perdono la luce lungo il cammino, fanno sempre chiedere cosa fosse stato quando vedevano. Come muoversi nello spazio, quanto autocontrollo avevano, quale fosse la loro vita, la loro andatura, la loro stazza. Punk è un cane molto dolce e collaborativo. È incredibilmente silenzioso nel rifugio, non parla, non disturba, è semplicemente accettato che questa sia la sua vita, e apprezza ciò poco che gli offriamo. Anche se non vede, ama molto le passeggiate. Ha questa meravigliosa andatura che tutti i cani ciechi hanno, con le zampe anteriori che si sollevano prima di fare un passo, per evitare qualsiasi ostacolo, e sembrano voler correre in movimento lento. Ha completato il trattamento per la leishmaniosi ed è un cane sano e forte. Soffre di otite cronica e le sue orecchie avranno bisogno di un monitoraggio regolare. Quando è arrivato era in una condizione molto cattiva, le sue orecchie facevano molto male e era stressato. Ora è migliorato e le sue orecchie non fanno più tanto male ma probabilmente sente ancora un certo disagio.

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.
