Adopt a Italian Greyhound (short coat)

Max is a biggy iggy with lots of love to share!  This sweet boy is blind, likely due to progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), a genetic condition.  He has mapped out his foster home’s house and yard with great skill, learned to navigate stairs, and gets on and off of furniture with no problems.  Max will bump into things if his environment is not consistent and needs a person to be his eyes when walking him on leash outside of the home.  Max’s favorite place to be is curled up in someone’s lap or snug right beside him.  He won’t give kisses, but he will lay his head down on your chest in the sweetest way or put his head under your hand to let you know he wants more petting.  He does have some separation anxiety and lets his feelings known about being left at home when his foster family is at work through barking, so could not be in an apartment or a home with shared walls, such as a condo or townhome.  He stays in his crate when his foster family is at work and sleeps there quietly at night but would be thrilled to sleep in bed with his family.  Max really enjoys playing with toys, especially soft squeaky toys.  He’s even able to sniff out his favorite toy!  He gets along great with the IGs in his foster home, but he needs a home without a young or overly playful dogs, as he is reactive to dogs that try to engage him in physical play since he cannot read their body language.  Max has excellent potty habits when taken out regularly but will need a fenced yard to maintain those habits, as he likes to take his time.  He enjoys wandering around the back yard and barking with neighboring dogs on occasion.  He also enjoys a walk around the neighborhood.  Max is definitely a Velcro dog and would love a family that can spend as much time playing with and loving on him as possible.  He’s up to date on vaccinations, neutered, had a dental, and is on heartworm preventative.
