Buttons is approximately 5-6 years old and is a Segugio Italiano breed and the most affectionate girl.
She is currently in Cyprus but ready to fly to the UK as soon as an extra special home is found for her. Buttons was found by a busy road and her rescuer realised immediately that she was completely blind.
She was taken into care and seen by an eye specialist who assessed that her eyes could not be saved and so at the same time as being spayed her eyes were removed.
She must have been in so much pain and goodness only knows what she must have been through, but despite all of this she is the most amazing beautiful natured dog whose tail never stops wagging.
She loves cuddles and will follow you around all day. She follows the sounds of footsteps, clicking fingers and your voice. She is great in the car and feels safest in the front footwell so she can’t fall off the seats.
She walks very well on a lead but does freeze around any traffic. She does not like dogs, cats or any other small animals. This is because she is just very defensive as she can’t see or read body language.
The ideal home for Buttons would be a calm, quiet home with no other dogs, animals or young children as she can cope better if there aren’t too many noises and voices for her to try and understand all at once.
She doesn’t like loud noises and would be happier in a quiet rural area. Buttons has a wonderful willing nature, she is intelligent and so very gentle and so deserves, after all she has been through, to live her life with someone as special as she is.
