Max

Hey everybody, I’m Max! I am almost 6 years old and I
love you and you and you! I love everybody including
other dogs, kids and house guests.

My favorite thing to do is snuggle with my foster parents
on the couch (see the picture below -- I can fit
anywhere!)  or lie close to my foster sister and give her
kisses. My foster parents let me up on the furniture but
when company is over, I will stay off when told.  

I love mornings because that means I get to eat! I will
follow my foster mom around while she gets my
breakfast ready, sometimes even dancing around and
"rooing" (that makes her smile). I always sit before she
sets the food down because that is good manners.

Do you know what comes after breakfast? Playtime
outside! I love to run around our fenced in yard and
have so much fun finding birds in the trees and then
barking. It is fun showing mom what cool stuff I find!
Plus if the birds see me, maybe they’ll want to play? If I
carry on for too long, mom will call for me and I will run
to her with my goofy grin! She loves that about me too.

I used to live in Texas, but I could not live with my
original family after they lost their house because of a
fire. So now I am in Oklahoma. I would really like my
forever family to find me, especially if they have another
dog that I could be best friends with and a yard that I
could run around in! If I could go places with them, that
would be even better!

From Max’s foster mom:

Max is a fantastic dog. He has been with us for 11
months and is neutered, up to date on his shots,
recently had his teeth cleaned, potty trained and crate
trained. He has done so well that he has just earned
roaming privileges. He is left out for four hours at a time,
since I come home for lunch. So far he has done great;
just sleeps on our bed.

Max has come a long way from the shy, unsure dog that
we met many months ago. He had some ear problems
before coming to A&B that left his ears looking a little
funny and left him apprehensive about people touching
them. We worked hard on that and he is doing so much
better now. He even let my nephews pet his ears when
they visited recently. He loves his foster sisters and will
even groom them/give kisses. He loves to snuggle and
will easily curl up into a small ball just to get closer to
you. He is almost so laid back when inside that he does
not want to learn tricks. I think he knows he has us
wrapped around his paw. Max rides well in the car, loves
to go for walks, but pulls a little on leash (so we use a
harness).

If you can’t tell, we love him dearly and are very proud
of him and how he has blossomed. We feel Max will do
very well in a house with other dogs to play with and/or
a fairly active adopter. He does need a fully fenced in
yard.

Here are a few short videos of Max.
