About Fox

Fox might look like a puppy, but at six years old, he's an adorable, low-key little dog with a lot of personality packed into a small frame. Playful and always up for a squeaky toy, Fox is the definition of an easygoing snuggle bug who never says no to a good snack or being cradled like a baby. Although Fox was born blind, he navigates the world with real confidence—stairs, couches, and new spaces are no problem for him. He's not a dog that lets his disability slow him down or define him. Fox gets along with just about everyone—dogs, cats, and kids included. He currently lives with animals of all kinds and gets along by simply minding his own business. He does need an adopter who will support him through the remainder of his heartworm treatment, which means keeping things quiet and bringing him to the vet for care (the rescue covers the details). Don't let his heartworm status scare you off; Fox is resilient and can live a long, happy life. He’s looking for a safe, loving home in Bowdoin, ME. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
