Max is approx 5 to 6 yrs old. He, along with his best bud Rocky, came  from a hoarder in southern Mn.  They look so similar that it is almost impossible to tell them apart!

Both boys were very timid when they first arrived because all they knew was a dark and dirty pole barn with tiny kennels and a cold concrete floor full of urine and feces.  Parts of their ears are missing from being chewed off by other dogs but they don't seem to mind, they are just happy to be saved!

You would never believe these boys used to live in such a horrible place.  Since being rescued, they have learned to love and trust humans and are completely different dogs. They are both outgoing, love people and attention and follow their rescue mom EVERYWHERE!

They are kennel trained, good with other dogs and they don't chase cats!  They love kids but really need to go to a quiet household with kids over 10 that are respectful and gentle. They are NOT chewers or diggers at all. They walk great on a leash and can often be found smiling and wagging their tails while out for a walk.

UPDATE ON MAX! JULY 13, 2011

Oh goodness - so much to tell you!  Have absolutely fallen in love with
Max!  He has changed so much you would not even recognize him!    I was so
worried about him at first - he seemed so lost and forlorn.  The first
couple of days I just sat and held him - I don't think he liked it much at
first - but I wanted him to get used to me and to being touched and petted
by me and wanted him to feel at home.  About the 3rd day, I was sitting at
the computer and I looked over and he was sitting about two feet away from
me with a smile on his face!  I was so excited that I grabbed and hugged
him!  Oddly enough, we found that he was not especially enticed by food or
treats - we tried the kong with the peanut butter and doggie treats - but
he could have cared less.  It is different now, though - he still doesn't
like the kong - but he does like his doggie treats!  We also had trouble
with him being house broken - but that is not a problem now and he is
doing great!  He can run up and down the stairs and when I get home and
let him out of his kennel - he races around the house about 3 times and
chases the cats - and they chase him back, too - they are a very close
group - the cats all adore him and cuddle up with him and play with him. 
He is still a little careful around Donald - he seems to still be afraid
of men - but it is so much better than it was!  And I know it will
continue to get better.  The highlight of my day is when I get home and
see Max and we race outside and he runs around the yard and up and down
the driveway and he loves to go for walks!  We have quite a large hill in
the backyard and he can race up and down the hill now.  He looks vibrant
and happy and secure - and I love him to pieces!!!  I am so happy to have
him and cannot imagine not having him!
