Introducing Maxwell!
Energetic Playful Affectionate Extraordinary
Hi there! My name is Maxwell, and I’m a fun-loving, adventurous pup with a heart as big as my playful spirit. Life may look and sound a little different for me because of my vision and hearing impairments, but that doesn’t stop me from embracing every moment with curiosity and joy. I’m on the lookout for a special family who will love and support me just as I am—and I promise to give you all my love in return!
When it comes to playtime, I’m all in! My favorite activities include:
- Chasing after balls and tugging on ropes.
- Chewing on deer antlers (yum!).
- Exploring the world on walks and taking in all the new smells.
- Zooming around the backyard with my famous burst of energy—it’s my happy dance!
I absolutely adore being close to my people. Whether we’re playing together or just enjoying some quiet time, I thrive on companionship and affection. Being left alone isn’t my favorite, and I might bark to let you know I miss you, so I’d love a home where someone is around most of the time to keep me company.
Navigating the world with limited sight and hearing can be a little tricky, but I’ve got it down! Once I’m familiar with my surroundings, I get around just fine. I may see light, dark, and motion, and I can hear some high-pitched noises, but I mostly rely on my other senses—and the love and guidance of my humans—to help me feel safe and confident.
Here’s what I’d love in my forever home:
- A calm, patient family who understands my unique needs.
- A physical fence to keep me safe as I explore and play. Preferably a midsize to large yard so I have enough room for zoomies!
- A calm, submissive doggy sibling who can be my buddy and help me feel more secure.
- If there are kids, I’d do best with older ones (12+) who have a gentle and calm demeanor.
- An experienced owner, especially someone familiar with caring for dogs with hearing or vision impairments, would be a huge plus!
- A family who is home more often than not. A work-from-home position would be awesome! Otherwise, I would prefer if my family isn't gone for more than 6 hours at a time.
I’ve had a bit of a rough start in life, bouncing between homes before finding my way to foster care. Now, I’m ready for the stability and love of a forever family who will cherish me for the amazing dog that I am. I may need a little extra understanding, but I promise the love and joy I’ll bring to your life will make it all worthwhile.
Fun fact about me: My “zoomies” are a pure expression of my happiness, and they’ll never fail to bring a smile to your face. I’m a resilient, loving boy who’s ready to be your loyal companion. Are you the one I’ve been waiting for?
