Description

Max is a handsome man who will need a little time and patience to settle into his happily ever after. Shy initially but adores affection ❤️

We were alerted about Max and four other dogs living in what could only be described as a house of horrors. The property was overrun with rodents, littered with rubbish and faeces, and in complete disrepair. Their owner had sadly passed away weeks earlier, and these poor souls were left to fend for themselves. Kind-hearted neighbours occasionally tossed scraps over the fence, but it was far from enough. Having known only their owner and this heartbreaking environment, the dogs were understandably terrified when we arrived. It wasn’t an easy feat , It took over a week to safely secure them all, but eventually, we did. And once they were safe, it didn’t take long for their true personalities to start shining through. Max has come such a long way. He had never been on a lead before, but he's learning gently and making great progress every day. Now in foster care, he's showing what an amazing boy he truly is—full of love and potential. Max can be a little unsure around new people at first, so he’ll need a calm, patient adopter with a fully secure garden to help him settle in at his own pace. He’s very clean in his foster home, so house training shouldn’t be an issue. As the dominant dog in his original pack, we believe Max could live peacefully with a medium to large female dog. He enjoys his zoomies and playful moments, and seeing him embrace life again has been such a joy. After everything he's been through, Max truly deserves a second chance at happiness. Could you be the one to give him his happily ever after?
