Max (On Trial 5/9/14)~ Senior Staffy boy

Max is a 10 year old, small, English Staffy who is a gentle, easy going boy. He is fully house trained and happy around other dogs. When inside, Max is happy to potter around after you, sit in his bed and have a snooze or just watch what is going on. He is also happy outside and will find a spot to sit in the sun. Max sleeps inside at night and will sleep through until woken up to go out in the morning.

Max really enjoys going for a walk and playing with his toys. He enjoys a 30 minute walk a few times a week, walks nicely on a harness and shows no interest in other dogs. Max has a stuffed toy that he loves to carry around and will also play with his ball.

At his foster home Max lives with a small and large dog and settled in with them straight away. He is happy to play with them or sit and watch when they get a bit too boisterous. Max is outside in the yard during the day and inside with his foster family whenever they are home. He has a short coat and feels the cold so needs to sleep inside.

Max would be suited to a home that wants all the best parts of owning a dog such as companionship, affection and having a gentle soul in the house. Toilet training, walking on a lead and learning general good manners have all been done and he is now looking for a home and a loving person or family to call his own.

Max is small for his breed at approx. 14.5kg and whilst not a traditional ‘lap dog’ would also suit someone who is looking for a dog that fits that category but is a happy to consider a different breed.

For more information or to meet Max, please contact his foster carer Sarah on 0403 743 099 or email sjwray16@gmail.com. Max is in foster care in Thornton, NSW (between Newcastle and Maitland) and is available for adoption interstate.

Max's adoption fee is only $100 because of his senior status and includes his desexing, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, microchipping, and lifetime registration. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
