Meet Tabby! At 8 years young, she is a Brittany with a heart of gold. She’s a playful pup who loves to play with other dogs, run in the backyard (like all Brittanys) and chase squirrels. Inside she loves to play with toys and watch TV with her foster family. Don’t let her energy fool you—she’s also a gentle soul who craves affection. Could you be the perfect match for this wonderful girl?
Tabby’s had had to overcome a tough situation. In early 2023, her previous owner took her to the vet for a scratched cornea, but unfortunately, couldn’t afford the treatment. This resulted in a worsening of her eye condition. Thankfully, Tabby found a safe haven at BRIT! Our vet determined her eye condition is likely due to a previous corneal ulceration and rupture that developed into Phthisis Bulbi. She is now blind in that eye but she is no longer in pain and her condition is not worsening. Because of this the Vet has determined she does not have to have her eye removed.
Phthisis bulbi (TYE-suhs bul-BEE) is the medical term for an eye after damage causes it to stop working forever. It’s also known as end-stage eye and can be caused by a number of things, including: Severe eye injury, Chronic inflammation, Infection, Glaucoma, and Trauma.
If that wasn’t enough…she had two HUGE lipomas which the vet says are just fatty tumors and benign. She also had a full dental cleaning and is now sporting a mouth of pearly white teeth.
Beyond her past challenges, Tabby is a sweet and loving girl who deserves a happy, healthy life. We’re committed to providing her with the care she needs and finding her a loving forever home.
