OTHER INFO: Max has been adopted since 2021 and is currently living with his adopter in Suffolk.
However, due to a change of circumstances, Max is now sadly looking for a new home.
Max currently lives with a female dog and three cats. He could live with another well matched female dog but he would also be fine as an only dog.
We think it would be too stressful for Max to build relationships with new cats so a cat free home would be best.
Max is a highly intelligent boy who has done well learning basic cue words. He knows Sit, Come, Paw, Wait and Place/Bed.
Max is a lovely, cuddly boy and loves sofa cuddles and kisses. He adores attention and although he takes a little time to be comfortable around strangers once he knows you he loves nothing more than being by your side for fuss.
Max enjoys being brushed and groomed. He is not a fan of seeing the vet but it's happy to wear a muzzle for this. Max is fully house trained.
Max loves attention and company. Ideally he would like a home where his family are around a lot or working from home.
Max is happy to be left home alone once settled for up to 4 hours. He loves treats and loves playing with his toys and enrichment games and puzzles.
Max loves his walks but enjoys routine and familiarity as he is more confident on familiar walks. He enjoys saying hello to other dogs and has some great doggie friends - he does need a little reassurance when meeting new doggies but after a few meets becomes besties.
He can react to other dogs on walks if he is unsure but with reassurance he can be distracted.
He has good recall but loud noises spook him so he does need to be in a long line at all times.
Max can be a bit wary of strangers on walks and might bark at first but once he is introduced he is fine.
He can be spooked by loud cars/ lorries and busy road and prefers more peaceful locations to walk in.
Max can resource guard when it comes to toys and treats so, if you do have another dog, they will need to be fed separately and toys introduced correctly.
Max is a really lovable boy who would make a loyal and loving companion to someone who can give him the time to settle and build his trust, bond and confidence with them.
