Max came into the shelter with his owner one morning because they moved into a new residence that does not allow animals. Max was sitting in the shelter sad and lost. You could see it in his eyes like what have I done to be sitting in here now. Although he is a senior, he still have a zest for life. Max is currently in a home with a few other dogs. His foster Mom says she believes that Max was abused. Max is more of an independent dog. He isn't much of a cuddler but does love being in the company of his human. He prefers to be scratched behind his ears as opposed to anywhere else. When he wants to be pet on his back, he will move back and forth near you to cue you that it's okay. One of his favorite things to do is go for walks with his foster family and visit the dog park. He's a cute little fella. Max would be best in a home without any small children. Max is housebroke and crate-trained. His foster Mom says that Max isn't any trouble at all. He's been a complete gentleman ever since he has arrived.
