Blinken, now Maxine, is a young active Terrier mix. Maxine was found as a stray puppy down south. She is blind but is extremely well adapted. She was more than likely born blind or became blind as a very young pup. Within a couple of days she is able to navigate a home, including stairs and fenced in yards. Maxine was adopted and has spent the last 6 months in a very loving home. Unfortunately, Maxine and the family cat have not adjusted to each other at all. Maxine is a chaser and being blind complicates things to a degree because she is not aware when her playmates don't want to be chased. Maxine's family is devastated but feel it's best to have her in a home with NO CATS. Maxine does do well with dogs but they would need to be dogs that like to play, run and be chased! She loves her daily long walks and has had quite a lot of training. She would do great with a family who is home more than not and who could either continue with her long walks, hikes or who has a fenced in yard. She currently does not require to be crated in her home and sleeps in her own bed at night. She is well behaved but she is always very interested when new folks come over and she is working on not jumping and settling down. She has always been good meeting children but they would need to be old enough to respect that she is blind. Maxine is spayed and very healthy other than her vision impairment which honestly, once you meet her you will see she really is not an impairment at all.
