Belle is an 8-year-old female Labrador retriever. She is blind and has been for a few years now so she does a great job using her sense of smell and sound to live a perfectly happy life. Belle will do much better in a quiet home with children older than age 10. If you have other dogs, it would be best for Belle to meet them first. She will need a fully fenced yard so she doesn’t wander off.
Orchid is a sweet 12-year-old female domestic shorthair dilute tortise shell. She came to the shelter as a stray and is now ready to start fresh. Orchid would prefer a home with children older than age 10 since she doesn’t like to be held for long. She will also need a slow introduction to any new furry friends that she might be living with.
