Max - another rescue

Max is on the left in this picture. This is how a Weim looks who has had a full day of fun playing in the yard with his new foster family. Caliber is on the right is his new friend - it took them about a minute to decide that they were going to be best friends. Funny thing is they look like they could be brothers. Both are what are considered "Blue" Weims.
Max is the dog on the right and he needs a forever home. Max is 8 years old and has always lived in a loving family but he had to stay in the kitchen all day and he hated that. I don't blame him - I would hate it too. So like any Weim he got busy in the kitchen, cleaning out cabinets, pulling the stove apart, climbing on the counters. He was trying to tell his family that he did not like staying alone all day and was very unhappy. The vet suggested daily sedation! Hello - hasn't that vet heard of good hard exercise??? His owner called me and asked if I could help find him a new home. I was pretty hesitant because normally I only pull dogs from the pound but I was afraid that was where this little guy was going. So I agreed. A few of us pulled together and paid for board for him for the weekend and then I kept him a few days while we waited for his new foster home to be ready for him.

Here are the details about Max. He is 8 years old - still has lots of spunk in him but calms down nicely in the house. He is healthy and up to date on all his shots, no heart worm or any of that. His coat is beautiful. His teeth need a good cleaning (at the vets) but that is typical for a dog his age. He is SWEET, he loves everyone and is good with children too. He does not like to be alone. He does very well playing with other dogs and would probably do best being with 1 or more dogs. He sticks with you and does not run away and stays in a fenced in area outside without a problem. House broken - prefers to sleep on bed or sofa - oh well! He is currently located in Anderson, SC if you would like to meet him. Contact me for more details...
