Partially blind greyhound up for adoption at Norfolk rescue

Birdie is up for adoption with Norfolk Greyhound Rescue who says she is around eight years old and needs a calm atmosphere to spend her retirement. 

She is an ex-race dog with a condition called chronic episcleritis which has left her mostly blind in her right eye, but it does not affect her day-to-day.

According to the rescue, Birdie loves her bed and spends most of the day sleeping.  

She is very good on the lead but is quite shy and tends to ignore other animals besides other small dogs.
