Biography:
Hi there, my name is Max although it really isn't my real name, but since I can't tell anyone what my name really is I guess I'll just have to get used to being called Max. I am about eight or nine years old, and I get along pretty good for a senior citizen. I'm a Mahogany Sable and White Rough Collie boy. I'm at the vet right now for a good check up, shots, heartworm test, and wouldn't you know, they think I need to be "fixed.” That will be a bad experience I'm sure. After I recover from being neutered, and providing I don't have any of those bad, bad heartworms, I will be ready to go to my forever home. I just got rescued on Friday, July 3rd from a kill shelter in northern Arkansas. My temporary foster home has a lot of Collies just like me, and I really don't like them very well. They are all younger than I am and really don't give me the respect that I should have for my age. I really would rather be the only dog in the house so I can get all of the attention and not have a bunch of young wipper-snappers jumping on me and bothering me. I really like the humans I am living with and would make someone a great companion. I'm just looking for love and a family that really cares about me. I got home from the vet last night and outside of getting neutered I had a good vet visit. I do not have heartworms which I'm so happy about, and I weigh 61 pounds. As soon as I recover from my surgery I can go to my forever home. Don't you want to give me a good home and love? I really appreciate being petted and getting attention.
Update: I am a very sweet, quiet, gentle, and handsome rough Collie. I am a laid back kind of guy who enjoys walks, car rides, and taking short naps. I love being with people and getting affection. I am looking for a forever home with kind and gentle people who really appreciate how special I am! I would be better in a home without dogs or small children. However, I get along with cats. If you're looking for a more mature and quiet collie who would make a great companion, then I’m your guy!
9/10/2009: I went to my forever home and am living in San Antonio with just a Mom and Dad. I am the only pet they have so I bet I am going to be treated like a "king.” They are really nice to me and I like them a lot. I'm so happy that they found me and have given me a great forever home. I really enjoyed living with my foster parents and their two boys and I will miss them. I wish I could tell them: "Thank you for taking such good care of me.” They were sad to see me go, but they are happy for me too.
2/16/2010: With a heavy heart I must say I received a very bad call from the very loving and caring Mom and Dad of Max telling me that Max suddenly got very sick and within two weeks after having a good vet check up developed Lymphoma that was very aggressive and beyond any treatment. Sorry to say he went to Rainbow Bridge. He was so loved for the short time he was in his forever home and gave so much love in return. Max will be greatly missed but will never be forgotten. He took a piece of several of our hearts. Good bye sweet beautiful Collie boy - you were loved by many.
