Are you looking for a gentle companion to lay at your feet, take slow evening strolls and just be together? Then you need to meet Max!

Maximus was picked up as a stray outside the hospital in Mobile Alabama. He was so tired from walking and surviving on whatever he could find to eat and drink and happy to let humans help him. He went into the shelter where they cared for him, he got his shots and was neutered, and they added him to their list of adoptable dogs. People came to see him, and called about him, but nobody ever came to bring him home with them. So, the kind ladies who worked there called our rescue.

You could not ask for a sweeter boy. Max is so calm, affectionate, gentle and trusting. In less than a day he had bonded to us, allowing us to touch him all over, rolling over for belly rubs. He is also a talker, grumbling and grunting and just telling you all about things. And he is a sucker for butt scratches! This boy does the most adorable butt scratch dance I have ever seen, if he had tap shoes on he would be tap dancing! He is house trained and dog friendly. He has seen cats and does not seem to have any reaction, he is just a super chill guy.

Max is recovering from prostatitis (it is the size of a baseball!) and is wearing a belly band because he dribbles a little bit. We have seen a huge improvement in just 48 hours so he shouldn’t have to wear it much longer. He is also very underweight, weighing only 69 pounds when we got him. This boy is tall and should be at least 90 pounds. He is also high heart worm positive, which we will be addressing once we have the prostate issue under control. He has also been shot with buckshot, you can see the white dots on his xray showing the shot under his skin. It is not causing him any pain.
