Blind Great Dane and her partner find forever homes

London, England - The Daily Mail reports another happy ending for a special needs blind Great Dane and the canine partner who has become her "seeing eye" companion. Lily and Maddison have been adopted by the Williams family and will live the charmed lives they so deserve.

Lily, six-years-old suffers from an eye disease that caused her eyelashes to grow into her eyeballs causing extensive corneal damage leaving her blind. Maddison, seven-years-old bonded with Lily, and together the dogs go everywhere. This past summer their owner gave them up because they were too much work. They have been living at the Dogs Trust in Shrewsbury, and the shelter was having a hard time finding new homes for the dogs.

When the Trust decided to advertise for a home for the dogs, the heartwarming story of the two dogs went viral. The Daily Mail reported 2000 responses to their article from people inquiring about adopting the dogs. The Trust reported hundreds of inquiries.

Len Williams and his wife Anne haven't had any dogs in their home since their daughter moved out, and now once again want to share their lives with Lily and Maddison. Their adoption application was approved and the dogs are already happily romping in the countryside of Crewe, Cheshire.

According to Louise Campbell of the Shrewsbury Dog Trust;

"This is the happy ending we were all hoping for and everyone is delighted for Lily and Maddison."

There are many more dogs in similar situations who are in desperate need of homes. Please visit your local animal shelter or rescue and make another happy ending for a dog - just like Lily and Maddison and thousands of others.
