Max - Adopted

Name: Max

Age: 6 years

Breed: Labrador / Doxie Mix

Sex: Male (altered per rescue)

Location: Philadelphia area

Vet Info: Max is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative per his current rescue.  He weighs about 27 pounds.  Max's rescue believes he is completely blind, "but may be able to see shadows during daylight."  Max came to them thin, and is slowly gaining weight.

Owner Info: Max is a very handsome fellow who was saved from the Philadelphia SPCA by a local small breed rescue.  They write that he is much more likely a labrador mix, and that they're having a hard time adopting him out because people looking to their rescue are looking for smaller dogs.  Max is crate and housetrained, but is anxious and is tearing things in his current foster home.  His current foster home also has little to no experience with blind dogs.  They are "looking for an assist" and are hoping we can place Max within BDRA.

Max is an indoor dog who is crated, he is housebroken and leash trained.  He is described as "nervous", and is good both with men and women.  His rescue also tells us, "Max is good with both female & male dogs from what we know.  He is also good with cats".   There is a cat in his current foster home.  

Max can be possessive of treats, toys, or food, but he has never shown any aggression. They tell us that he's "always searching for food and tearing things...".   They feel that Max could adapt well with someone who is patient and has some experience.
