Sundance

Sundance is my name! I am a 3-4 year old yellow female, spayed, up to date on shots, housebroken, good with dogs and kids and I am loving life! My story may seem a bit sad, but don’t worry - I am going to be just fine.

I was adopted from a shelter sometime ago. My new people were very nice. While I was with them, my eyes began to hurt a lot. I couldn’t open my eyes, and they would water a lot - thats why I have dark circles around them.

Well, the vet said that I have “entroprion” and it would have to fixed surgically. Seems that my “nice” family must not have wanted to pay for it, so they returned me to the shelter after 9 months of having me.

LRR learned that other than my “entropion” I am a great dog. I am fun, well behaved, love the other dogs, and they couldn’t ask for a nicer girl. I guess I had better explain “entropion” so you can all understand what it is.

This is a condition where the eye lids, bottom and/or top, roll in so that they irritate the eyeball and the cornea. It is sort of like if you scratched your cornea. It makes your eyes water, and it hurts to open your eyes. The good thing is that it is fixable. LRR is having the surgery done on my eyes, so soon, my pain will be gone and I will be as good as new.

Another LRR dog named Cindy had this same condition, she had surgery and she has been fine and is doing wonderfully and she found a new home too. So, prognosis is GREAT and I am hoping that I will find a new “forever” home after my surgery.

My first surgery was November 7th. The Doctor was going to fix my lower eye lids first, but decided to do both uppers and lowers at the same time. I had to keep my sutures in both lids for 14 days. I went back to the vet, had my sutures removed and my eyes are doing great! I am just so happy that LRR was willing to spend the money to make my eyes better.

My eye surgery is complete and I am fully recovered! Am I a gorgeous blond or what?? Notice the new photo on the website - that “eye lift” did wonders don’t ya think??

If you think you might be interested in making me a member of your family, feel free to apply on me now, I will be screening apps.
