KULANI

Catahoula / Whippet mix | 4 months old | Size: 21 lbs

Medical: Kulani has a lazy eye, this will affect her sight in one eye.

Ideal home: An active and loving home that enjoys outdoor activities. She will need proper training follow up. The lazy eye is a trait we have so far seen in a hand full of catahoulas coming through our rescue. It has not caused any longterm issues in these other dogs, besides loss of sight in that eye. Bear in mind pure white Catahoulas/Pits tend to also be deaf. Kulani appears to hear us well enough to respond at this time. Kulani needs an adopter that will have no issues providing any future medical care or follow up.
