She is beautiful. She will be adopted real quickly.

Awww! i hope she gets snatched up soon to her forever home

Minnie thanks you for the compliments.

She did not get a prosthetic. She came into the public shelter with her eye damaged, and the shelter vet tried to save it but was not successful. I don't know if a prosthetic was even a possibility, but at least now there is no ongoing need for care of that area. The groomer we use has ideas about how to groom her to make it less noticeable, but if she is adopted soon (as we hope), someone else can choose how to do that.

Maybe a floppy hat would suit her, too.

I rescued a one eyed Maltese mix 2 months ago and she is a VERY spunky little dog

she will often crane her head to look at us

Any ideas on how to groom over the empty eye socket would be awesome! I am kind of curious about prosthetic eyes but I would be afraid it would irritate her, and I don't really see the point in spending the money on something so vain :P

I'll let you know what the grooming ideas are. It may be to have a long topknot drape a bit forward.

I think the prosthetic has to be considered and tried early on ... definitely couldn't be done now for Minnie.

I'm going to pursue floppy hat ideas ... at least for a picture.

She's not as subdued as this photo would suggest.

I just had to laugh at that. She looks like the perfect little lap dog, thrilled to just sit there and look adorable. Not so much, huh? I love spunk. She's beautiful. I think the Veronica Lake look could work. Longer bangs over where that eye is. I hope she finds her home soon. She deserves it.

So stinking cute. Hoping the best for her.

Minnie and a friend have weathered the recent heavy rains and are waiting for the yard to dry out.

(Actually I am the one waiting--I'm sure they'd be happy to run around in the mud!

) She should be on petfinder soon! In her description--that she likes other small dogs--and toys!
