PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.

6.28.17 Maxi is a precious little guy who was found on the side of a highway, wandering around. The people who found him didn't realize he was blind and actually saw him in that same area for weeks, then decided that he must have been deserted so they stopped and got him. We have no idea how he survived. Not only is he small and helpless (he weighs about 10lbs), but he is totally blind, making him extremely vulnerable to predators as well as heavy traffic on the street where he was found. At the time he was rescued, his coat was so matted you literally could not find his eyes. He looked much larger because of his coat being so grown out and matted. Once he was rescued and we shaved him down, we realized the extent of his neglect. Poor little guy was skin and bones, and his eyes and ears were infected and matted. He couldn't see or hear. It is nothing short of a miracle that he survived all that time on his own. Now that he has been groomed and we have the infections cleared up in his ears and eyes, he is feeling much better and we can now see what a loving, sweet hearted little guy he truly is. He loves to be held and cuddled. He will lay his head on your shoulder and just love on you. Although he is blind, we do not believe he is a senior dog. He appears to have cataracts but we do not believe this is due to age. His teeth are in very good shape with very little tartar, which indicates that he is a younger dog. We are thinking around 5 years. And now that the infection in his ears is cleared up, and the hair in his ears has been plucked, he hears very well. He gets around great despite his disability. He learns his way around and does very well, rarely ever bumping into things. Maxi needs a home that is somewhat quiet. Since he can't see what is going on around him, loud noises can be scary for him. He seems to love everyone he meets without regard to gender, age, or size. Maxi will make a wonderful companion for someone and we just can't wait to see who that lucky person will be! Maxi is located in Arkansas but will be transported out of state once adopted.
