Dumpling the blind, chubby Labrador is looking for a home

Dumpling - Gold Coast, QLD Microchip No. 978 102 100 060 737 Hello! My name is Dumpling. I didn?t have the best start to life but since joining Labrador Rescue my life has turned around. Unfortunately I was dumped at the pound at 10 years old, blind, overweight and alone. I had some puppies over the years and I guess my old owners didn?t need me anymore. Since being in care I have lost over 13 kg so I would like a new family to help me stay on this weight loss journey (although I really don?t have much more weight to lose). As I am now older I find that small frequent walks are perfect for me. As you can tell I have no eyes; I had to lose them as they were causing me a lot of pain. Now I am pain free and ready to find my new furever home. I live with cats and another dog, I am good with them as long as they don?t get right in my face as it gives me a shock sometimes... all I do is bark at them. I won?t hurt anyone. I would ideally like a home with no stairs. I can be the only pet or I can share the love and have fur siblings. I am okay if I?m left alone whilst you go out but it would be nice to have someone home often to keep me company in my senior years. I?m extremely sweet, charming and good natured. I don?t need much in life just a nice warm home in which to enjoy my last few years. Dumpling is located on the Gold Coast and is available for adoption. She's been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm tested. She's up to date with all worming and flea & tick treatments. This gorgeous girl is available to the right family for a rehoming fee of $300. Interested in adopting one of our dogs?

Dumpling was dumped at a shelter and staff are worried he won’t find a home (Picture: Labrador Rescue/Facebook)
Dumpling is a ten-year-old Labrador and he’s looking for a loving family to spend his last few years with.

The adorable dog is completely blind after having both of his eyes removed because they were causing him a lot of pain, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t make a brilliant pet – he still has so much love to give.

Sadly, Dumpling was dumped at a pound on the Gold Coast in Australia, and rescuers are worried that he won’t find a family because he’s blind and overweight.
To try to connect this lovable pooch with his perfect family, staff at Labrador Rescue wrote a plea on Facebook, adorably in Dumpling’s own voice.

‘Unfortunately I was dumped at the pound at 10 years old, blind, overweight and alone,’ reads the post.

‘As you can tell I have no eyes; I had to lose them as they were causing me a lot of pain.’

The post also mentions the issue of Dumpling’s weight, explaining that since being in care he has lost more than 13kg, and he hopes to stay on track with the support of a loving family.

‘I live with cats and another dog. I am good with them as long as they don’t get right in my face as it gives me a shock sometimes,’ the post continues. ‘All I do is bark at them. I won’t hurt anyone.

‘I don’t need much in life, just a nice warm home in which to enjoy my last few years.’

Dumpling can be adopted at a fee of $300 and those interested can contact Labrador Rescue – but you’ll need to be in Australia, and preferably live in a home with no stairs.
