Soooo- this is what not having a solid back up plan looks like… and we get calls like this weekly.
Max was bought as a puppy and had an elderly owner who now has to go into assisted living. Max is about 7 and has been the only dog at his home. Max detests grooming and will try to bite the groomer. Max is also protective and if close to his owner or nervous will nip if you reach to pet him. He is also barky with new people in the home. His owner was not able to socialize him as a puppy- he was not in good shape. So here is poor Max- On the chopping block. The family plans to euthanize him. Max gets along with other dogs. Clearly with his biting- he cannot be around small children. Max would do best with a single or understanding couple without a lot of visitors with a fenced yard. He is NOT reliably housetrained- though the cleaner and part time caretaker of the owner says when she takes him to her house he is ok because he gets taken outside. Suggestions for a home for Max so he can see 2025?
