🐾Max Proves the Best Dogs See Beyond Sight🐾
For six months, Max has been learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. Since arriving at the shelter in February, this gentle giant has discovered the joy of toys, the excitement of walks, and the comfort of trusting the people around him. He’s got this whole “being a dog” thing down pat.
Despite being blind, Max doesn’t let anything slow him down. He navigates life with confidence, a nose that’s always ready for adventure, and a heart that’s more than ready for a family of his own.
If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with an incredible story, Max is waiting. Reach out to the Humane Society of Delaware County to schedule a time to meet this amazing boy.

⚰️ In Loving Memory of Our Washing Machines ⚰️
They fought bravely.
Against endless loads of dog blankets. Against mountains of laundry. Against pet hair that defied the laws of nature.
Unfortunately, after years of service, several of our laundry warriors finally began waving the white flag.
The good news? Because of the funds raised through FurBall, we can finally replace our aging washing machines and get every dryer repaired and back in working order!
So while we bid farewell to the machines that sounded like a helicopter landing in our laundry room, we're excited to welcome equipment that can do the job without requiring thoughts and prayers.
Thank you to everyone who made FurBall such a success. Your support helps keep our shelter pets clean, comfortable, and cared for every day. ❤️
