Breeder tried to give away blind puppy with huge head on Facebook

A "small but mighty" puppy with a rare condition which means he has a huge head, needs a new home.

When 12-week-old Sully first arrived at Rescue Me Animal Sanctuary in Melling, he was completely blind due to having lots of pressure on his brain. The condition, known as Hydrocephalus, is very rare in dogs, with the animal sanctuary founder, Steph Taylor, saying she had only ever seen it once before.

The volunteers took the dachshund puppy in after a friend of the animal shelter saw a post on Facebook where a breeder was trying to give Sully away. After realising something was wrong with the dog, they got in touch with the breeder and they agreed to give Sully to the volunteers, as they would be able to look after him.
