A volunteer writes: Counting small children and 3 Chihuahuas as his playmates, Max B is wondering where everyone is. He could often be found sleeping in the children’s room by their side. Surrendered due to a change in living situation, Max B had been with his family since he was a puppy, and all things considered is doing very well. He seems to be housetrained and will benefit from some leash training as he pulls hard on the leash. He showed off his ‘sit’, and gave me his paw when I asked for it, accepting his reward treat gently. Max B loved playing with a squeaky toy, bringing it into my lap to share and chomp on it. So sweet. He’s affectionate and cuddly, happy to drape himself in my lap for cuddles. Max B was having no part of the elevator in the building so we took the stairs…I suspect he’s never been in an elevator before and with time he’ll be OK. In group with other dogs Max B greets well and briefly plays. He has a lot to get used to and I’m so proud of him for how well he’s doing! Playful, fun, affectionate, and energetic Max B rocked his behavior assessment. He’ll do well in an active home in which plenty of exercise, love and playtime are on the daily ‘to do’ list. If you’re active and looking for a big, gorgeous and equally active dog to complete your family, Max B is your man….I mean, dog.
