My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Maximus! Maximus was transferred in from another shelter, so we don't have any background information. Maximus is a very sweet munchkin that enjoys to play dress up! He is treat motivated and knows the basic command of sit. He is a special care adoption because he was diagnosed with glaucoma. Glaucoma is an eye disease where the pressure within the eye becomes elevated, leading to significant pain and blindness. Because of this, he is now a pirate with one eye. He will need extra supervision when being outside due to having limited vision. But this does not stop his curiosity and his will to find some treats. If you're interested in the Maximus, come meet him today!
