Though he is mostly blind due to severe dry eye, Cottonball has slowly blossomed into an affectionate, trusting companion once he learns your voice and scent. He may cower at first, but offer him your hand to sniff and you’ll quickly earn soft kisses and cuddly loyalty. Cottonball loves praise, gentle conversation, and being close to his people. He walks nicely on leash, enjoys short strolls, rides well in the car, and has become an excellent office buddy. He gets along beautifully with dogs and cats alike, greeting everyone with sweet kisses. He’s also discovering that human beds may be one of life’s greatest joys. This special boy will need a patient home familiar with grooming and willing to support a visually impaired dog. He would do best with gentle, dog-savvy teens or adults in a quieter home without many stairs. Cottonball may move slowly, but his heart is full of love.
