Max, Australian Shepherd, deaf & blind
Max is a red merle Australian Shepherd with a natural bobtail. He
is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and has completed heartworm
treatment and is ready for his new home! He is a bigger boy at 60
pounds, and he is one handsome boy, sadly he did pay a price for
his beauty, all that white on his coat cost him some of his eye
sight and hearing. Max came to us after his owner moved away and
could not take him with her.
Max is a 2 year old Aussie that was surrendered by his owner because
they could no longer care for him. He is deaf and visually impaired
though can see some shadows on his left side. He is totally blind
in his right eye. He is what is referred to as a “lethal white”.
Puppies born to two merle colored parents will result in 25% of
the litter having hearing and/or sight deficiencies. Many of these
animals have been rescue and go on to make wonderful pets. They
are trained in sign and touch signals. If you would like to learn
more about owning a special needs dog please visit www.deafdogs.org
for more information.
Max will need a fenced in yard and someone that is willing to devote
time to train him. He has learned a few touch signals like sit and
down. Max is a fast learner and will need a special, loving home
that is willing to provide the extra care he needs. Max is gentle
and loving, he enjoys lots of attention, and loves to run and play,
he has lots of energy and would love an active home of his own.
He is crate trained. Max is one happy guy and just likes to have
some fun. He is fine with other dogs also and enjoys playing with
them. Max is fine with everyone he meets and like many special needs
Aussies Max has no clue that he is considered special needs! He
is an easy going and loving dog that has a lot to offer any family.
Max is located in the Statesboro GA area and if interested, please
