Adopt Max

Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Sadly Max came back to LL as his owner's health declined and he couldn't look after Max any more Max is now 7 years old and we were told he was very anxious to be left and reactive towards people and other dogs as he'd not been out on walks for a while. He's not very clean in the house either now and that's difficult to address whilst he's in kennels. I feel he's still very much a "work in progress" though and would need to be in a home where he'd rarely be left, preferably with a steady female dog to keep him company and where he wouldn't need to go on "busy" walks where he'd be faced with lots of strange people. He's allegedly quite vocal if left alone Max is NOT cat (or small furry) friendly and I wouldn't be comfortable placing him with young children as I feel they cope spook him easily. He might need to be muzzled on walks if he was going to bump into any strangers. Max is neutered but his vaccinations have lapsed and we need to re-start them. We were told originally that he was a whippet x Patterdale, but he is fairly big for that cross ( about 23/24 ins tts). Here's his original thread: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=105879 and his last one (he was returned to us 2 years ago viewtopic.php?t=111891 ) If you'd like to be considered for rehoming Max, please fill in our online form :
