Owner Info: Max is a very handsome former shelter dog who was saved by his current owner. He appears to be completely blind. Max has been very fearful the whole time they have had him, and has been attacked three times by the other dogs at their house, which has, of course, increased his fear. They love him very much and say he has a beautiful little spirit, but needs more attention than they are able to give, and if possible, to be an only dog or, his owner believes, with more submissive dogs. His owner says that he seems to want to be friends outside, but doesn't know how. Max does get along with both adults and children, and has been around their cat with no incidents. Max is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained. He can be possessive of toys, treats, or food, and while he has growled, he has never bitten, and did not fight back when he was attacked. His owner writes, "You can just feel his wanting to live life & be free. He is not free having to worry constantly. He is amazing & gets around well, even uses a doggie door, despite his sight problem. He is about 11, but seems younger spunk-wise. I want him to have peace & be happy for the years he has left. That is just not possible with us! He is amazingly healthy for his age & HW status. He has a positive spirit. He is just ready to blossom in the right environment. He is physically a gorgeous dog."
