Happy Tears as Blind Shelter Dog Finally Finds Love & Acceptance

Every shelter dog dreams of finding a loving and caring parent, but these dreams do not often come true. Many dogs spend years in shelters waiting to get adopted. Add to that a disability, and their chances of finding a forever home become even slimmer.

However, sometimes, miracles happen and a blind shelter dog gets to go to a home where they will be loved for life. Cookie Sauce is an incredibly cute dog whose inability to see things made her question if she would ever get adopted. Little did she know that her perseverance would pay off and she would find her happy ever after.  

Cookie, the 2-year-old Boxer, suffers from glaucoma, which led to bilateral lens luxation, turning her blind. She has been at a Texas shelter in Edinburg called Palm Valley Animal Society since 2022. After two years of long wait, she was recently adopted. (watch the video below)

The shelter uploaded a video on their TikTok, @palmvalleyanimalsociety, that wonderfully shows the journey of sweet Cookie. At first, the video portrays Cookie’s doubts about getting adopted due to her disability, but then the scene changes, and we see her happily climbing into her new parent’s car ready to go home where she will be loved and showered with endless kisses.

Cookie’s road to happiness was far from easy, and she had to go through many hardships. A couple of months ago, the shelter appealed on social media to adopt or foster the adorable Boxer. Due to her condition, the shelter was unable to provide the necessary care for the dog. 

The dog unintentionally harmed herself in the kennel as she couldn’t see, which is why they needed someone urgently to give her a home where she could be properly taken care of. 

Fortunately, their efforts came to fruition, and Cookie has gone from an existence of adversities to a joyful life.
