'Blind, Overweight And Alone' Labrador Is Looking For A Forever Home In Australia

There are millions of animals that need to be adopted around the world. For whatever reason, these poor animals have ended up in shelters and there's only so much time they're allowed to spend there until they're put down.

But one dog deserves your attention because not only is she adorable but also her story is heartbreaking.

This Labrador is called Dumpling and she was abandoned at 10 years old and now she's looking for a forever home in Australia.

Labrador Rescue posted an ad on its Facebook page, pretending to be Dumpling, saying: "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.

Dumpling has been described as 'extremely sweet, charming and good natured' and is just looking for a nice home to spend the rest of her days.

She's located on the Gold Coast, Queensland and people should be assured that she's been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm tested.

According to Labrador Rescue, this 'gorgeous girl' can can be yours for $300.
