Meet Logan

Logan must be rehomed with his brother Mason.
As surrenders, Logan came into care with his brother Mason having had no vet work done other than a microchip and we were told he was blind in his left eye. When the woman bought Mason as a 10 week old pup she was given Logan as a 'freebie' because h, seller said no-one would pay any money for him and she didn't want to get stuck with him.
Having never been to a vet and now 7 months at this point he was taken straight away to get all of his vet work done and while there investigations showed that not only was his left retina unresponsive to light, his right eye also had a 60-70% deficiency. This explains his need for contact with his brother as Mason is his eyes and why these boys must be rehomed together. It is possible Logan may totally lose his sight in the future or his sight may not deteriorate any further but there is no way of knowing what will happen but whichever way Logan has very limited vision even now and needs his brother beside him.

So this poor boy so deserves a very loving and caring home for the rest of his life, doesn't he!

He uses his fabulous hearing to great effect which together with his keen sense of smell allows him to pretty much know where his brother is at all times. If Mason wanders a bit too far I'll hear Logan use his voice (a bit like echo location) to find him again. On first entering my yard he was tentative about what things were, where my outdoor furniture was etc, but now he races around (like any normal puppy does) chasing his brother, playing tug of war with toys and generally having loads of fun.

He is very responsive to training, and loves his walks. He needs to trust you completely on lead as most objects seem to jump out of nowhere for him e.g. he doesn't see parked cars until we're a metre away from them.

He absolutely LOVES attention and happily sits for pats, hugs and cuddles.

Coming to me with no training meant he had to learn commands to my voice (as he can't see me well) and he has responded beautifully. Whereas he used to hear his brother eating and dive into the wrong bowl, he now waits for his command to eat and he knows I have a bowl just for him, fully loaded with his favorite food. He no longer rushes his meal down or tries to steal his brothers. I think previously he couldn't see how much Mason had left and thought he better hurry up.

He is a soft, caring, gentle soul and together with his brother will make an adorable addition to your family.

Both Logan and Mason travel really well in the car. They are both used to being around children, small and large. Neither bark at motors, whipper snipper or the lawnmower which is amazing and very much appreciated and neither are they bothered by the hose spray. Both are just very comfortable in family life.

We will require a yard inspection be completed prior to rehoming these two gorgeous boys.
