About REMY

Remy is a wiggly, energetic boy who initially came to us when his owner became ill and could no longer care for him. This very special pup has faced some medical challenges in his young life - he had both eyes removed as he was already blind, and his eyes were causing him pain. He also has high blood pressure and is on medication, so he needs a family committed to his long-term health. However, these things haven’t slowed this sweet puppy down one bit! Remy has done great in foster homes - he is crate trained, housebroken, non-destructive, and learns to navigate new spaces quickly. He’s also dog and kid friendly!

When I first met Remy he was nervous. But, the next day he was much better and even played with a tennis ball and sought affection. Big, goofy puppy. He has some trouble seeing which might be part of his nervous behavior. Sweet guy, has come around quickly!

Today was my first time walking Remy. He has come SO far since he first came in. He was very wiggly and ready to go! I gave him a treat (that is the way to his heart). He jumps up quite a bit, but I think it’s partially because he doesn’t see well and he wants to get close to you so he can see better! He loves to put his paws up in your chest and get treats or neck rubs. He may not see well but his sniffer works perfectly and we had a nice walk around the lake catching up with all of the smells. He’s a young guy who is going to make a perfect longtime companion for someone lucky! He was such a fun guy to spend time with today and I look forward to working with him more! He also showed me that he could sit perfectly for treats! Remy has shared his kennel with a variety of roommates during his time in the shelter and was social and tolerant when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home. This very special, very sweet pup deserves a forever home - please ask to meet him!
