Max in NH
Max went to his forever
home in Pennsylvania on October 22, 2006.
Well it is time that Max find his forever home. His
story goes like this: Max and his mother, a full blooded Golden Retriever,
were placed in a drop box in a small Alabama shelter. The shelter manager
immediately saw something special in Max and his mom. Max's mom was
adopted almost immediately and Max was said to be depressed for several
weeks after she left. Since Max was overweight, his coat matted and
heart worm positive, Max was overlooked by potential adopters. This
is where I came in, Sue the shelter manager phoned to say that Max
was running out of time and she felt he deserved a second chance at
life.
Max went from a hefty 89lbs down to a healthy 70lbs, has been treated
for heart worms and has regained all his energy. Max has a beautiful
shiny black coat with rust colored points, white feet, white tip on
tail and white on the chest. It is believed that Max's dad is a Bernese
Mountain Dog. Max knows how to sit, lie down, sit up like a bear, walk
on his back legs and loves for you to hold his paw. Max is housebroken
and wants to be with his person at all times. Max is good with other
dogs, cats and children. Max seldom barks even when the other dogs
are barking and causing a racket, but when Max does bark you better
listen because there is something or someone there. Max is still a
young dog only 2 to 3 years old at the most. Max was already neutered
when I rescued him. When someone ask what type of dog Max is, I just
answer a "Black Mountain Golden".
I have never crated him from day one so I don't know how he would react.
At first Max did not want to ride in the car, but that has all changed.
He walks well on a leash and stays with me when I take him for walks
off leash.
