Adopt Mr. Max a Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - with White Australian Shepherd /

Location:

Lexington, VA

Description:

Mr. Max needs a new foster, foster to adopt or adopter ASAP! His foster is travelling and cannot fit Max with her 2 dogs. Mr. Max is a GORGEOUS 8 yr old, Australian Shepherd or possibly an Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. Mr. Max came to ASF after his owner passed away and the family could not care for him due to health issues. Max lived in his home alone for approx. 1 month being checked on daily. We have no idea if Max witnessed his owner's passing. Mr. Max is good with other dogs and after a few weeks in foster is finally playing with the foster's 1 dog, although the other is not a fan of Mr. Max. He is utd on vaccines, on preventatives, microchipped and was neutered (in the last few weeks. The best foster or adopter for Mr. Max will be someone who can continue his training. Someone with patience that believes an old dog can learn new tricks! Mr. Max is a strong leash puller and is reactive (not aggressive) in the yard and on leash to other dogs and people. He is mistrusting of new people until he has a chance to settle down and meet them on his terms. We do not know if he was just sheltered or if this is trauma from his owner's passing. Max is also quite vocal, so a home in the country or with some property and no close neighbors would be ideal. However, he is improving and lessening his barking. Mr. Max is also in the process of crate training and is getting better every day. When Max first came into ASF he was intact and marking in the home. That has ceased with his neuter, but he may try it in a new home at first. It's nothing belly bands can't handle until he is comfortable. Mr. Max has not been exposed to cats or children. Max would be good alone or with another dog. He is a good boy at the vet, but nervous in the car so he needs to be crated or tethered. Max's ideal home, foster or adopter, will have a fenced yard and the time and patience to continue his training. This senior boy still has years of love to give!! Will you be Mr. Max's forever? Here is the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts. If you are interested in fostering:https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/foster
