TUX-ADOPTED

Tux is a handsome young adult Boston Terrier about 1 year old who needs a special person to adopt him. This sweet boy has cataracts in both eyes that are thought to be hereditary. He has adjusted to them very well and it's hard to tell that he can probably only see shades of black and gray. We were told that Tux had cataracts when he was receiving routine vetting in the South. Returning him to the shelter would have meant immediate euthanasia. He is now in Connecticut and has just been seen by a veterinary ophthalmologist. Trying to do cataract surgery on this dog would be extremely expensive and most likely would not be successful. He is using his other senses and his limited vision to get around beautifully. This wonderful dog needs someone who really wants to rescue a dog with limited adoption possibilities. He would do well with another small mellow dog. We will not adopt him into a home with very young children or cats that are not very dog friendly. We just can't take a chance of his eyes being accidentally injured. Tux has been neutered, shots are up-to-date, microchipped, wormed, heartworm tested negative, etc. His adoption fee is $400 which will help pay for the transport fee that we had to pay to bring him to CT and some of his medical expenses. This is a wonderful boy who just wants his chance at the good life. Please request and return our questionnaire if you are interested in Tux. We always reserve the right to place each dog in the home we feel will be best for that individual dog. Connecticut adoption only at this time.
