With losses always seem to come additions. And we have a new one at our house. This past week we welcomed another Max to Golden Pines.

~On our way home!~ |
Max turned 14 years old in December. He was given up by his family because they felt that their move about 800 miles away would be too much for him --they even considered euthanizing him. But they instead contacted the rescue. With only 2 days before their move, there was a little bit of a scramble to get Max picked up. And since I live just over the border of West Virginia from where Max lived, and I was available, I had no problem agreeing to take Max temporarily until another foster home can be found. ~I know, I know, "temporarily" is something I've said before. 🥰
Max is a really nice boy. But on Tuesday night when I finally got him home, he was really nervous and shaking. We put off the intros to his new packmates and settled him into our spare bedroom for the night, and for Wednesday when I was at work. It's now Friday and he's still unsure about everything, but is doing well as we're slowly getting him used to the rhythm of our household.
Of course I don't know what this chapter of Max's story will be, or where it will be spent. He does have a few concerns as far as his health is concerned. But until all that is sorted out, Max is just fine with us - And I can't help but grin because we now have a Jack, a Jack-Jack, and Max and a Max. How confusing is that for these four boys? 😊
Lucky Max to have found a safe haven at Golden Pines. He does look uncertain in the first photo, but so much happier in the second one. What a beautiful boy he is, he's had such an upheaval for an old dog, but perhaps he can settle down with you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome guy. I guess Max2?
ReplyDeletetwo of each is double the love for sure. New Max is beautiful, his eyes are calling to me. give him a hug from me. and one for you too for always doing good things with these precious dogs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky boy this Max is to have landed in your loving care! He certainly looks like a sweetie and I hope he soon gets over his concerns, is comfortable with his new to him pack mates, and joins the fun.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Hello Max,
ReplyDeleteHe is a beautiful dog! He has a wonderful new loving home.
Have a great weekend.
What a sad situation for Max, but he has landed in capable hands at your home. Our paws are crossed that he settles in nicely soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad that his family felt compelled to do that to Max. We firmly believe he is with you for a reason. He will be loved every day and soon he will relax and feel happier than ever. God bless you for giving him a chance.

They will all feel double wanted because their names are used more than just for them! You are loved.

DeleteDogs are portable...they can move...they adjust with people they love. I feel so sad for Max, I mean I am happy he is with you but I am sad for the 14 years he gave a family that left him behind. Some people should not own pets.
ReplyDeleteHello, Max! Aren't you beautiful? May each day bring more confidence and happiness! You couldn't be in a better place, dear fellow.
ReplyDeleteSo glad he is with you, but so sad his family gave him up at 14!
