Here's what the humans have to say about me:
******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************
We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.
Max, 1.5 years old, neutered male, Pitbull mix, 53 pounds. He is in a foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS and can transport out of State once an adopter is approved.
Max was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Houston. He had this really long tail that did not fit his body and was causing "happy tail." This basically means in all of his excitement his tail would hit anything in site causing it to bleed. The tail is never able to heal and after consulting with a vet we had part of his tail amputated. He has recovered well, but his hair is still growing back on that area.
Max spent some recovery time in a boarding facility where he ran his heart out with other dogs. He met allll kinds of dogs- big and little, male and female. He loves to play and run around. There is another dog in the foster home. She tends to be really forward with new dogs and this has made Max a little scared. He does great on walks with her, but in the house he tends to keep his distance. We think he would love another dog to match his personality or would also be okay as the only dog too.
As you can imagine, given his younger age he is an energetic guy. He is looking for a home with moderate physical outlets. He enjoys his walks and playtime with his foster parents. He is friendly when passing other dogs on leash.
He has come across cats out walking and appears curious. He has not lunged or tried to run after them, but we can't speak to how he would do in a home setting. We have no history with kids and recommend a home with kids 10 years and older.
Max walks okay on leash and will pull when he wants to sniff things. He is housebroken and does well when crated.
He is a curious and playful dog. He can get a little scared of loud noises or sudden movements. He loves to play fetch and chew on stuffed toys. He rides well in the car, is generally a happy guy always wagging his now nub and excited to see his people.
***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. ***
