Max loves everyone wags his tail and greets us at the door when we get home. He loves to go on walks and specially car rides.
Loves to cuddle and sit with us he follows us around the house .
Gives us the paw for treats.
He loves company loves people visiting, he sniffs and follows them aswell plays ball but is not as active because of his illness.

Max is special to us because he’s our 1st dog. He is a big baby scared of the wind, and of course fireworks he goes into hiding when he hears them.
Max is always a happy dog very polite with his brother and sister and the rest of the family.

Max is my best friend I would die of a broken heart without him. He has brought me so much joy and has pulled me out of some dark days. I am currently on medical disability and do not have the funds to pay for the surgery. It would mean the world to me if anyone can donate.
