-Thanks Irina. Max is a 3 year old recently neutered male.
Unfortunately, his family did not spend the needed time with him and
he is ill mannered. They either had him tied to a dog house or in a
garage! Fortunately, he has a very sweet nature and has never shown
any agression. He is, however, on a "humpathon"! He will need a home
with experienced handlers. Max is not handling shelter life well and
is losing weight and has "happy tail" due to the tight quarters. He
is a staff/volunteer favorite.
You can see him at www.humanesocietyhbg.org. My shelter will only
let him go to a legitimate rescue or to an adopter that can come to
the shelter in person. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
Laurie
