MAX UPDATE!!! Max is doing great! Thanks to his previous selfish owners, WE have Max! He is precious, smart, talented and a great guard dog! Max was thrown away out of inconvenience, unfortunately the story with lots of dogs, cats and other animals! Max is NOT vicious, just might get a little grumpy when he is sleepy, don't we all? He vacationed with us at the Cape, walks several times daily and guards the house, us and cats with attentiveness, goes everywhere with his Pop..... We are convinced that Max has been caged much of his life. He is still nervous around strangers and strange objects, even bags and boxes, everything seems new to him.....but he has made much progress. He offers his right paw at the words of "paw-paw", precious. He has bonded with the cats and might even think he is one! Lots of love, proper exposure, and some proper training, and we think he will be ready for...... whatever he wants to do.....He obviously was abused, but we will overcome that. He's our boy and seems to like that! Thank you again Diane for bringing this little miracle into our lives! We know he is in his forever home!
