Candy

Candy did not end up at our shelter because she was lost. She was left behind.


This purebred Golden Retriever was abandoned by her own family after she suddenly and unexpectedly lost her eyesight. The people she had trusted her whole life decided she was no longer worth keeping. So they turned her out and Candy, sweet and confused, found her way to us.


What happened next is the part of this story that matters most.


Our veterinary team got to work. After careful examination and treatment, they did something remarkable they restored Candy's eyesight. She can see again. She looked around at the world, at the people caring for her, and she wagged her tail.


Candy has since received a full health clearance. She is doing well, eating well, and living well.


What strikes everyone who meets Candy is how composed she is through all of it. She arrived here after being rejected by the only family she had ever known, went through a medical journey that would unsettle any dog and she came out the other side still gentle, still trusting, still kind. She is already very well trained, well mannered, and easy to be around.


She did not let what happened to her change who she is.


Candy is now available for adoption. She deserves a family that will never turn their back on her one that will see her the way she sees the world now, with clear eyes and an open heart.
