We had a young blind Lab who did very well but we also had his sister who acted as his guide dog

Yes I know. Poor pup. It’s very sad. Maybe pts would be better.

Scary indeed. Who reads: Blind dog, was reactive around people when he arrived, needs right (patient) home, and thinks: Can he be re-homed with my toddler?
I know blind dogs can live good lives in the right homes, but I presume it is more difficult to move a blind dog from an environment they've gotten used to, to a for them completely new environment, than a seeing dog.
And now when this blind dog has managed to make himself at home with these rescuers, gotten used to his new environment, and the people there, they've decided to say: Great, we've fixed him, now we want to uproot this blind dog again, and move him to a new home, with new people.
If they find a new owner to him, what are the odds that he reacts with becoming reactive again, in the new home?

I follow DOTS on Facebook and they do come across as a well set up, carefully thinking charity so although I would have the same concerns as FL, I do feel they would take a lot of consideration into where he goes and make sure it's the right place.

Ditto Finn..
she couldn’t have put it better.
Maybe it would be better for the dog to live out his days with the rescue and they advertise for donations specifically for this dog’s upkeep.

They're not specifically a rescue. DOTS supports homeless people on the streets with dogs, getting them microchips, vet checked, warm coats, collars, leads and food, helping them find dog-friendly hostels and accommodation etc. I'm not sure of the full story with this one but they occasionally Foster the homeless persons dog if they need to have a hospital stay for example. They have some kennels but I'm not sure if they have long term residents although they have helped rehome some dogs in the past.
