Max

Max is a 2 year old Australian Shepherd that was surrendered by his owner because they could no longer care for him.  He is deaf and visually impaired.  He can see a few shadows from his left eye, but is totally blind in his right eye.   He is what is referred to as a “Lethal White” – the breeding of merle to merle by irresponsible breeders.   25% of the litters are usually born deaf and/or blind and breeders will cull (kill) those that are deaf and blind – hence the name Lethal Whites.  Many of these animals have been rescued and gone on to make wonderful pets.  They are trained by hand and touch signals. 

     Max will need a fenced in yard and someone that will be 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 needed.
