Max is an energetic mixed breed black and brown male neutered medium sized 12 month old pup. He has had a rough start to life with severe demodectic mange that was left untreated for an unknown amount of time until intervention by another organization. He is currently at a point in his treatment where medications are beginning to be decreased to monitor his response. Demodectic mange is hereditary and uncurable, but it is easily maintained with monthly medications to prevent flares.  He lost his left eye to infection but that has never slowed him down.  Max is very food motivated and knows how to sit. He is currently being treated for separation/ kennel anxiety with daily medications that help tremendously and may not be lifelong once he is in the perfect home. He loves to play and can fetch. He loves the outdoors and could help any gardener with planting as he is proficient in digging and excavation. He is good with other dogs and cats. He is easily excited into play mode so he sometimes can be intimidating to cats. Max never meets a stranger and wants to play with everyone he meets. He is very intelligent and needs a fenced yard for supervised play and energy release but to also keep him safe. He walks great on a leash but can be fascinated by cars. Max is a good travel companion but a kennel or seatbelt is recommend for his safety and because he wants to help drive. He is a heavy chewer and has learned to play and chew Nyla and Kong toys, with supervision. Max continues to learn proper behaviors for a pup and how to play. Max loves with his whole heart and needs someone who is active and has patience for a fun-loving big puppy. He could be your best friend and your biggest fan if given a chance.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
