I am a true MaxFund success story - I arrived at the shelter as a blind stray from a state away! I had a disease that kept me from seeing but once MaxFund spent some time with me and learned this to be the case, they got me on treatment and I can now see great! The vets have helped me see all the lovely staff members and volunteers who have been talking to me and comforting me since I arrived.
Until I get to know you, I may not be quite sure about you - remember I came from the streets and learned you can't trust everybody, especially when you can't see them! Once you take the time and get to know me, I'll be your best friend for sure! Don't be alarmed if I bark a bit at first, it's just because that's how I protect myself from the unknown. Once I know you, I'll rub up against you until you pet me, and you'll know by looking in my eyes that we connect.
Right now, the back office of MaxFund is my home. I've been here for several months and it's great, but I'd love a permanent home! In the back office, I get to hang out with Paulette who shares her lunch with me almost every day and I get to hang out closely with the people who make MaxFund run!
I have been medically cleared to go into foster or adoption. If you decide to foster me, all my medical expenses (should they arise) will be covered by MaxFund and you can decide if you'd like to adopt me forever! If you decide to adopt me, you'll get great lovable me as your friend for life! If you are interested in fostering me, please contact Anne at fosters@maxfundvolunteers.org.

P.S. I may do best as the only dog in the house. While I get along with many of the great dogs at the shelter, because I was on the streets for a while I tend to be protective of my food from other dogs. I'm not really sure what I think of cats yet! But thats ok because I'm not sure what to think of guys in hats either! Those things look like big mouths or something, scary!
