Bullseye is a 4 month old blind Terrier mix puppy. Although he's blind he has no clue he has any limitations. He is happy, playful and curious. He's rambunctious but also loves cuddles on the couch. His favorite thing is playing with his foster brothers, both the dog and the cats. He's picking up on crate training quickly and is smart as they come.  He'd do best in a home that has another dog  and older children to keep him occupied. He deserves the best.
