A dog found on the streets of Mexico may have a new home here in the Bay Area. A woman who rescued "Max" said it was hard to find him a suitable home because the one-year-old dog has a disability. She received help from one community.A woman who rescued "Max" said it was hard to find him a suitable home because the 1-year-old dog has a disability: He is deaf.
He was rescued from the streets of Mexico last October according to Tamara Corbitt, the founder of Hotel Baja California for Dogs A.C. "Because he's deaf, he's difficult to adopt out," said Corbitt. "It's a challenge because people don't know what it takes train a deaf dog." But the hope is that this first meeting at Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland on Thursday with Domingo Gaitan – a potential dog dad who is also deaf – will be a match. "I feel like this is a match. He's like me. He's deaf. And he's in my world," Gaitan said with the help of a sign language interpreter. "My two are gone. And now, to have a deaf dog back in my life, it's very exciting," he said. "So cute. He's very excited," said Gaitan. .
Corbitt said with all her adoptions, a new dog parent has one week to see if it's a match. If it's not, she will take Max back to Mexico and try again next month.Amber Lee is a reporter with KTVU.
