This heartbreaking story was sent to me from Aurora in Milan, the lady who organised the relocation from Avellino and our adoption of gorgeous Setter Gassi, almost exactly a year ago.
Luis is a seven year old English setter who is blind. He was in an appalling situation in a kennels in a province of Rome. Attacked by other dogs and in a life-threatening situation, he was placed with the puppies who wouldn't be so aggressive but they still nipped him, jumped on him and the usual puppy behaviour, confusing the poor soul who had no idea what was coming at him or from where.
The volunteers there were desperate, especially one lady who said the dog started jumping up to put his paws on her chest when she approached, but she could only stay for a few minutes and then he just kept jumping up into thin air looking for her.
Aurora organised his transport to Milan, where he is being looked after by foster carers, but they are in a flat and it isn't easy having a blind Setter in a flat. Also he is almost totally deaf. This will be 80% rectified by an operation that they are organizing and paying for, but his ears are giving him terrible pain at the moment. He also has low level erlichiosis (as Gassie did)
So Aurora wrote to me. They don't know what to do and poor Luis deserves a good loving home with a family that will love him. She says he is quite self sufficient once he knows his way around, but needs a garden and his own space. He is gentle, loving and has won everyone's hearts.
Please can anyone help him?
