Oodlesofpoodles,

Noel is a beautiful dog!! I'm so glad you gave her a forever home. Too many times, animals with "limitations" (blind, limbs missing, deaf, etc.) are overlooked. It's sad because they actually turn out to be the best pet ever! Give Noel a huge hug and kiss from me!

JGuitaristR,

There are plenty purebred rescue organizations. Just go into Yahoo and do a search for Purebred Canine Rescue.

MooShoo is a purebred Sphynx rescue who is partially blind because the breeder failed to treat his herpes virus in his eyes. Her neglect caused scar tissue to form over his corneas. He is blind in his right eye and sees shadows in his left. He is the best cat EVER and I wouldn't trade him for all the money in the world.
