Hi, allow me to introduce myself! My name is Maui. I am a 14 year old male, and am a purebred GR. My foster parents say I am cute and very gentle. My foster parents think I bark sometimes for no apparent reason, but mainly I bark when I want some attention. I was given up because my former owner goes out of town a lot for business and he thought it wasn't fair to keep putting me in boarding at my age. So, he surrendered me to RAGOM. I can't climb steps very well and even have a hard time going on short walks. I have some arthritis and am a little stiff in the morning. The other night I loved my fosters so much that I attempted to climb the stairs. It was a success even though I fell down a lot. I would need a home with very little stairs. I take my medicine very easily so you don't have to hide it in food. I am very calm, sweet, and I snuggle with my foster sister. Foster dad likes to play with me. So, I still have some playtime squeezed inside resting and walks. I am a polite beggar when it comes to dinner. That's when the meat comes out. Yummy meat! The other day foster mom took me outside to just sit on the porch for a while. We sat out there for an hour before I would come in. So, I LOVE sitting outside everyday. I would sit out there all day if I could. I am going to the vet today. So, wish me luck and I will get back to you soon. I am in retirement right now. My days of chasing balls and long walks are gone. I need someone who understands that.

Hi, Maui again! I went to the vet the other day and I weighed 80 pounds. I got micro-chipped and adored by the vet. I ran into some other dogs and was fine with that. I didn't even move a muscle, I just sniffed the air casually. The vet says my back legs are weak, but isn't sure if it's because of arthritis or neuropathy. That's not a surprise to me! I also have a heart murmur.
