Max

Description

Adopt Max! He is 6 months old, currently 80lbs, male Great Pyrenees mix. He is beautiful and strong. He was the largest puppy in his litter - and everything about Max is big!  Max has big paws, big appetite, and a big heart. He loves everyone he meets and is very popular in the neighborhood during daily walks. He loves children but is so big and young that he does require supervision.  He does well with the big and small dogs in his foster home. He has medium energy and will play hard for a short time and follow it with a very long nap. He is also happy to chew a bone or play with toys by himself. His forever family will need to have another dog in the home to play and teach manners.  He has not been around cats, but he has seen rabbits, squirrels and ducks daily and he tries to be friends with them.  He is playful and loves toys. He also loves counter surfing, shoes, and toilet paper like a classic puppy. He is still growing up and learning about the world.  Max is potty trained, leash trained, and knows basic commands. He does well in his crate but prefers sleeping on cold stone floors. He loves going in the car.  Max and his littermates were rescued at 10 weeks old. Day one in SPIN Rescue care we witnessed him have a seizure. Max was then hospitalized for 2 days to determine the cause as he continued to have seizures. All tests came back normal but he was started on phenobarbital with success. Since being discharged, Max has been seizure-free for the last 4 months and, although he has since gained 50lbs, we have kept him on the same dose - we are weaning him off medication as he grows. The plan is to stop in two months if he continues to remain seizure free. He happily takes his medication.  His littermate had a DNA test done revealing they are 80% Great Pyrenees, 8% Husky, 8% German Shepherd, and 4% mix. He is going to be very large.  Max is neutered and up to date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $300. He is currently in a SPIN foster home in Dallas, Texas. Out of state applications will need to arrange transport, we are happy to reocmmend companies.  Apply to become an approved adopter for Max at www.spinrescue.org
