About Max

Max is an 8-year-old Bearded Collie looking for a second chance at comfort and care. Despite facing health challenges, he remains a tolerant and gentle boy, making him easy to handle during vet visits. His previous issues with itchiness and hair loss have stemmed from a flea allergy, but with proper treatment, his condition is steadily improving. Currently at a healthy weight of around 50 pounds, it would be beneficial for Max to reach an ideal weight of 40 pounds. He has shown a consistent appetite since feeling more comfortable, which is promising as many dogs tend to eat better when they leave the stressful shelter environment. Regular monitoring of his health, continued flea control, and routine veterinary care will help ensure his golden years are enjoyed in comfort.
