About this Dog
Being blind brings Guinness lots of attention and sympathy, which he accepts gracefully. His calm, stoic demeanor suggests that he has been living with this for quite some time. Since he is also hearing impaired (he can detect sounds but has a hard time distinguishing what they mean or where they're coming from), he approaches life with a slow, methodical pace. He is delighted when newcomers are in the house... he will sniff them out then greet them with sweet tail wags and maybe even a tiny kiss.Guinness doesn't play with toys but he'll chew bully sticks and he seems to enjoy an occasional leisurely walk around the neighborhood. Having recently gotten over a bout of coccidia, which stole his appetite and caused an alarming weight loss, he is back up to 12 lbs., on his way to a healthy 13 or 14. Overall he is now in great health and, at 9 years-old, still has many years ahead of him. He is hoping to spend those years being part of a caring, relaxed family where he gets lots of opportunity for cuddling and snoozing. In return, you get a gentle, quiet fellow who has excellent house manners and reliable house-training -- as long as you take him out on a regular schedule. Guinness gets along well with other dogs, provided they're gentle and respectful. He would undoubtedly do fine with cats, too. He'd love a one-level home because, although he will brave going UP a short flight of stairs, he finds going down quite challenging and needs a lift. Since he is not an escape risk and doesn't chase prey, he would be a fine candidate for a home without a fenced yard, provided he is always accompanied. If you're looking for a low-key, undemanding, predictable companion who will always be ready for a cuddle, check out Guinness's photo album at http://imageevent.com/beales/fosters/Guinness .
Contribute to Guiness (TN)'s Stash!
100% of Guiness (TN)'s balance will be sent to whoever adopts Guiness (TN).
Adopt Guiness (TN) and Receive Guiness (TN)'s Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Guiness (TN)'s new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Guiness (TN)'s current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Guiness (TN), thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Guiness (TN)'s contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Guiness (TN) was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Guiness (TN)’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Guiness (TN)’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Guiness (TN)’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
