My name is Magoo and even though I'm blind even I can see there is a Santa Claus!  I was rescued from a kennel in Indiana and LDDR saved me!! I am believed to be 5 years young. I am a Lab Retriever mix.  I am super sweet and am told that I have a great disposition. I am completely blind, but this does not limit my ability to do things. I am really good at getting around since I use my nose and have a keen sense of smell. If I bump into something I just shake it off and go in a different direction. My foster Mom says I'm a brave little trooper! 

The resident dog at my foster home is a big shepherd mix and he doesn't mind me following him around.  I would love it if you had another dog that I could live with too. I’m getting used to the cats in my foster home.  My foster Mom says there are 4 of them. Some of them like to mess with me, but I just ignore them now. When it comes to kids, I think I would do best with older children because I can be a little nervous or startled sometimes since I can't see. Just hearing your voice calms me right down and makes my tail wag and then I’m just fine.

I don't know any basic commands yet but my foster Mom says I'm a quick learner. I’ve learned to navigate the 4 steps coming in and out of the house now.  My foster Mom doesn’t even have to say, "Step up" or "Step down." I can do it myself without a leash now since I’ve got it mapped out in my head. I am housetrained, but I admit I’ve had just a few accidents. I do well in my crate, but I’d rather not stay in there while you are gone.  My foster Mom coaxes me in with a treat and tells me I’m a good boy. I’m very quiet too. I let the resident dog do all the barking and I rarely join in, mostly because I don’t know what the heck he’s barking at since, you guessed it, I can’t see! Foster Mommy says I am making her a better housekeeper, because if she leaves her dirty laundry on the floor and she is not around, I may just grab a sock or a shirt and bring it back to my dog bed so I can chew a hole in it. I use my blindness as an excuse for not grabbing a readily available dog chew toy instead.  

I am neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on my shots, and microchipped. I would love it if you inquired about me or came to meet me at one of my adoption events. I bet you will fall in love with me just like everyone else does when they meet me! Thank you for considering opening up your heart and home to a special needs homeless dog.
