Meet Max – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Forever Home
Max is new to our care, and already he's melted every heart he's met.
This gorgeous boy is a gentle, calm presence who just wants a peaceful
place to call home. Described by his foster family as "an incredibly
sweet dog," Max is one of those souls who doesn't ask for much – just
love, kindness, and a comfy spot to rest his paws.
Still a little unsure of the world, Max is quite passive by nature and
would thrive in a calm, quiet home where he can feel safe and secure. He
enjoys his daily walks – nothing too long – just enough to keep his
steps up and let him sniff around and say hello to a few canine friends.
He's very friendly and polite with other dogs he meets out and about.
Max is getting a little older now, and while his hearing and eyesight
aren't what they used to be, it hasn't dulled his sweet nature or his
appreciation for the simple things in life.
His ideal home?
A loving, secure environment with a single-story layout and minimal
steps – somewhere he can relax and enjoy his golden years surrounded by
kindness.
If you've got room in your heart (and home) for a gentle boy like Max,
he's ready to give you all the love he has left to give.

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped,
wormed, and flea treated. All necessary vetwork such as dentals,
surgery, eye treatment are also carried out. We are no longer heartworm
testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If
a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
Medical notes
Weight 7.7kg. Max Quinnell is on pimobendane for his heart
after seeing a cardiologist. He also has a cough that we are
investigating not related to his heart.
Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer free assistance for six weeks for any issues, a lifetime takeback policy with full refund of the adoption fee, and will always be available to offer advice.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.

We look forward to receiving your application.
