Adopted Dog Update: Max

Max originally came to Pet Haven in December, 2007 from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. We recently got an update on Max .... sounds like he's doing quite well :)

"Max joined our family in early 2008. He quickly fit in with us and our two resident cats. We finished putting up a fence that summer, and he has since staked his claim on that yard by chasing down all squirrels and rabbits that might come visit. We're thinking he's at least part greyhound - not only does he stay skinny no matter how much he eats, but he literally goes from 0 to 60 in no time flat! He practically breaks the sound barrier when he runs, but he'd much prefer to take a nap curled up near us. We added Lilly to our family this spring - she's a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix (we think). They are absolutely best buddies - Max taught Lilly how to squirrel chase, and Lilly reminded Max how awesome chewbones are.

We now have 120 pounds of dog tearing around our house on top of the 20 pounds of cat... two giant dogs and two stubborn cats might seem like a houseful, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Max has definitely been an incredible addition to our home. Thank you to Pet Haven for bringing him to us!

A note on the photos - the top is of Max and my cat Pangur on the couch - they pretend not to like each other, but I think this photo proves otherwise; the second photo is of Max and Lilly teasing each other with a chewbone (one of their favorite games), and lastly, the bottom photo is of Max asleep in coachroach position - his ultimate position of comfort. He's a great guy!"
