Story
Max is a big, perfect young collie boy! He weighs approximately 84 lbs and is 1 1/2 years old. We would really like to find him a home with children, as he loves them!
Max is extremely handsome, loves kids, ignores cats and loves having other dogs around, even small dogs. He is very calm for a 1.5 year old, unless there’s a squirrel nearby that needs chasing! He does not seem to be a big jumper so will need a good ergonomic bed. He loves hugs. He takes treats gently and walks like a dream on the leash. He’s gentle, loving, obedient and sweet. I just cannot say enough good things about Max.
He has an old tail injury that caused a slight bone misalignment where it healed back a bit crookedly, but you have to work hard to discover it and it causes him no pain. He’s a bit difficult to load in the car right now and seems to be afraid of car rides, and drools a lot in the car. You will have to boost his back end into the car, for now, due to his not-so-great jumping ability. Max is learning that car rides lead to Petsmart, Whataburger, and other cool doggo destinations, in an effort to help him overcome his car anxiety.
Max would love a home with cats and kids. He is perfectly housebroken to a doggy door but reportedly can have separation anxiety if shut indoors when you leave home. I have not seen this behavior here, where he has a doggie door, where he knows he has choices. He has not needed to be crated at all, because he is not destructive. He likes to sleep beside your bed at night, but if you help him on the bed, he’s happy to cuddle with you! Max is a true treasure. Max is neutered, UTD on shots, micro chipped and on heart worm preventative. A fenced yard is required. If you are interested in Max, please apply at freedomcollierescue.org
