Gavin the Blind Sheltie Update-Enhanced Version
This is an enhanced version, with more pictures and info, about Gavin the little blind shetland sheepdog found wandering cornfields. Blind dogs, and those with other special needs, do incredibly well. Dogs don’t know words like ‘disability’ or ‘handicap’, they only crave love, care and companionship from their humans. Please consider adopting a special needs dog. Without adopters, like the ones in this video, many special needs dogs like Gavin would be put to sleep when they have so much love yet to give.

This brought tear to my eyes. What a wonderful story & thank God for a happy ending! Thanks for sharing his story.
This brought happy tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting!
such a very heart touching story. Thanks for sharing. I love shelties.
Such a beautiful sheltie! I’m happy he has a loving home now.
i was once saved by a blind dog. When i was 5. I used to play with my neighbour’s Blind Rotweiller and he liked me very much. One day i was walking in the street and an Angry Pitbull started to roar at me. I was in panic and the Blind Rotweiller showed up, and started fighting the pitbull, even thou’ he was blind. He heard my panic voice and came to help me. I wont forget that day.
it doesnt matter if a dog is blind or even mute =.= people like perfect dogs but they should think first on those who need.
i see nothing but love and affection in Gavins face. it saddens me to know how he had to search those cornfields for dinner. but it makes me cry in happiness that he has such a loving family
God bless you for taking good care of him…
Thank you for sharing his story… I admire people who has a heart for dogs…
This wrenches my heart every time I view it. Anyone who has ever been owned by a Sheltie can understand how precious this is. Shelties were put on the earth by God to reward special people. I am owned by two of them, and they are the most loving animals I have ever seen. Plus I have three more of them waiting for me at “Rainbow Bridge”.
i used to have a sheltie
Congradulations. Wonderful. Well done!!!
This reminds me of our dog! Ty was also a blind sheltie found wandering on the road. We found him through sheltie rescue and i’ve never had a more loving dog.
This is a wonderful story.How blessed this sheltie is,and even more so the new owners.
We have a blind himalayen kitten,that was going to be euthanized because she was born with no eyes.The breeder felt she was not sellable.
We adopted our “Bumper” at 8 weeks,and is now just a bit over 1 year old.
Every animal deserves the right to quality of life.I know our lives have been enriched to the fullest,with our babe.
Hugs to all of you,for giving Gavin a loving home.
This is a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless you guys.
i cant stop crying…
thanks for this video and thank you to the people who decided to give this sweet sheltie a home, despite his disabilities
I love your dog this story is very touching, I wish you the best of luck with Galvin!!!!!!! Xoxo
OMD! Gavin’s brave innocence ripped my heart, only to give me more courage.

Wonderful video…I love to see happy tails…YAY success…keep up the good work…5*, favorite and will definitely post in my blog in the near future as a featured success story….
So sweet. God put Shelties on the earth to reward special people. Blind does not matter, a Sheltie is a very special animal that gives his or her heart unconditionally. Share your home with a Sheltie and you will never be without one again. Humans don’t own Shelties, it is the other way around. I am so glad that Gavin found his special people, God bless you and keep you .. and Gavin. From Becca and Rachel….. Two more loving Shelties.
OMG! i love this video! it so sweet how the lady took this dog and put him into the family! (almost cried) i had 2 shelties but 1 we had to put to sleep, and omg! i couldnt stop crying for almost a month!!!! the other ine didnt know what to do, but we give him love! but im just sooo glad that Gavin’s life is still up! He may be blind, but he has a family that loves him and thats all that matters!
take care….to all!
Bravo great job, with a happy ending.
This made me cry so hard!! I love animals so much and dogs especially. I can’t imagine how scary and hard it must have been for Gavin before he was rescued, and I am SO happy he got a happy ending. All dogs deserve a happy ending!
Omg! Im So Happy For Him! I Have 3 Border Collies And I Would Hate The Fact That They Wernt Being Loved! And Hes Sooooo Cute! /Lv It x
Love it!!! We’ve had both deaf and blind double merles in rescue. They are amazing dogs. I’ve often heard people say that their special needs dogs, are the best dog they’ve ever owned.
