Information:
Natasha (Blind Mama) is a delightful girl, very sweet with thick rich
fur and a cool dark tail that wags happily. Natasha comes from an abuse
raid, 17 dogs in 400 sg ft, and has been bred much. Natasha is learning to
like the outdoors and sometimes will point her snout straight up and
howl! Natasha has a great appetite and enjoys raw and kibble, likes
playing with her tennis ball, enjoys being rubbed on and cuddling and
gives great kisses. She has met several of our pack and done well, yet
at Maggie's barked back to the dominant females that barked
aggressively at her. We believe she'd be fine with most doggies and
when she's totally comfortable here we'll introduce her to the pack.
We're so happy to have helped BDRA rescue this angel and Natasha will
enrich the family that provides her Furever Home.
December 24, 2011: Blind Mama was living in a cold outdoor pen inthe highest-kill shelter in GA, just recently freed from an abuse, breeding and hoarding situation, with her time running out ... with no arrangements made, a group of Blind Dog and other rescue friends,folks from maritime Canada to TN to GA and AL all decided to assist in a miracle, and when Christmas morning arrived Mama was safe and warm with a full belly and happy in rescue! Now Mama - giver of America's sweetest doggie kisses - needs her own loving Furever Family; is that you?
Blind Mama (Natasha) - Mama is a delightful blind and deaf ex-breeding girl, very smart, very happy, extremely aware of her surroundings. Mama is house-trained, walks on leash, has the softest beautiful fur, HW negative, UTD on all shots and is spayed, goes up and down stairs effortlessly and loves attention, just needs her own Furever Home. Mama's home will need to be aware of a few extras on how to care for a doggie both blind and deaf yet she's worth the effort and is a real love.

Medium energy level, medium-large size, 3yo, very loving, good with adults & older kids, good with most dogs and cats though can play rough, house-trained, healthy, great appetite, very positive personality.
Mama does everything a 'normal' dog does - loves her walks, loves giving and getting attention, gives sweet kisses, enjoys lazing around the living room and sleeping soundly, really enjoys playing with her tennis balls and furry football, is very inquisitive, enjoys time in her outside pen likely more than any other doggie, is an enthusiastic eater and was our first "raw" eater. Mama is a tremendous doggie ... just a dog!
Mama NatashaFun Facts: Mama loves to play with her tennis ball and often catches it on the bounce! Mama stops on the love seat each time upon returning to the house for some good loving; Mama loves surprise treats; Mama "Dances" Yep, Mama does this little tap dance like routine with either her front 2 or all 4 legs before and while playing - it's hilarious and she's having a great time!!
