 Meet Max. Max is a super wonderful awesome little guy who needs a new home where he can spend the rest of his life. Max is 8 years young, he weighs 15.5lbs,  he is neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines and he is housetrained and crate trained. Max was turned into the shelter, probably because his teeth were horribly rotten and the owners didn't want to spend the money to have them cleaned. Rescue was called to take him and boy are we glad we did! This dog is a sweet little love bug who deserves a wonderful home. I have yet to find any flaws and any bad things about Max, he is just perfect! We do plan to have Max's teeth cleaned this week and than he will be ready to go into his new home. We do know that Max is great with other dogs both big and small and we tested him with the clinic cat at the vets office and he was a perfect gentleman. Max loves to play with balls and toys, he has such a wonderful loving, happy go lucky personality. Max loves everyone equally (he is totally comfortable with men) and he just loves to follow his human around all day. Max is in a foster home until he is adopted and he learned the doggie door in about 5 minutes and is  totally reliable when left alone in the house. Max's foster mom says Max does not at all act like an 8 year old, he races around with her 2 year old doxie and they play non stop all day long! We prefer Max go to a home with no children only because he is a senior and kids tend to be too much for older doxies. UPDATE 6/4/09: Max has been to the vet for his dental cleaning and it was much worse than we thought it would be. We were only able to clean half of  his mouth on this first visit, the right side, and we will have the left side cleaned next week. There were five teeth pulled on the right side, two of them big molars, and the left side will need as many pulled if not more. Poor Max is not very happy right now and the right side of his mouth is very swollen. We do have him on pain meds as well as antibiotics. I keep telling him he will thank me later when his mouth doesn't hurt any more. UPDATE 6/10/09: Max had part two of his dental today and we removed 4 more teeth and cleaned up the remaining 18 teeth in his mouth. Max's remaining teeth are sparkly white and beautiful and in a week or so he will be a very happy boy. We also did Max's nails super short and emptied  his anal glands, now all he needs is a  home! UPDATE 8/24/09:  Max has been adopted by his wonderful foster family, he is now the newest member of the Guerra family! Of course the vet bill is quite high, please consider making a donation to help offset the cost of caring for Max. If you would like to meet Max please complete an adoption application by clicking here  and than call Brenda at 256-0321. We do require a complete adoption application, a home visit, an adoption contract at the time of adoption and a donation of $200.00 to help offset the cost of the vet bill.
