Golly is a lovable female pit bull terrier and Boston terrier puppy currently housed at Silicon Valley Pet Project.
Golly is a social animal — she's happy to keep company with other dogs, cats and children. Golly is vaccinated. Golly is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
From Golly's current caretaker:
Oh Golly! When we met her, she was blind, in pain and filthy... and yet she just kept wagging and kissing. She's no longer in pain and she's no longer filthy, but we weren't able to save her vision. Golly is recovering from a bilateral enucleation; a procedure where both of her damaged eyes were permanently removed. She'll be blind for the rest of her life, but it's not slowing her down in the slightest. She loves to play tug. She loves going for walks. She loves people and dogs and tries to wrestle a little too hard with her cat friends. She's making great progress on her housetraining and is starting to learn some basic commands: sit, step up, step down and off. We're looking for the most special family for her, one that will keep her safe and help her learn to navigate this world. Once her stitches are out, she won't require any ongoing medical care, just an attentive owner who's ready for some adventure with their new sidekick.
