Deaf and partially blind puppy hopes for a new home

A deaf and partially-sighted puppy is hoping for his forever home after checking in at Dogs Trust Darlington. ChronicleLive reports that Blue, a one-year-old crossbreed pup, arrived at Darlington in December 2021, where the veterinary team confirmed he was deaf and diagnosed his visual impairment.

Blue has been enjoying the new hydrotherapy facilities as he waits for a new owner. He visits the hydrotherapy suite weekly to use the underwater treadmill.

Speaking about Blue, Dogs Trust Darlington assistant manager Sharon Boult said: “Thanks to the players of People’s Postcode Lottery, whose support helps to fund our wonderful canine carers, we’re able to give dogs like Blue all of the extra love, care and attention they need whilst they are with us. Blue is a gorgeous boy, who doesn’t let his impairments stop him!
