Dandy like Max was surrendered into our care together with little Sashi as their owner became too ill to care for his pets. What a good looking dog  he is,  reminding me of an expensive Steiff toy  of my childhood, long, long time ago…He seems to be a mix between a Shepie and some kind of Terrier with wiry hair. He is spry, his coat of vibrant colors is perfect, his teeth still quite healthy and his eyes barely cloudy…Hum, I wonder if he is really 15…I would put him between 8 and 10 years of age. A relative of the master brought him and may be he got the age mixed up….Max was scared  when he took his admission medical examination. Like so many people, dogs too can be wary of doctors… Since then, Max has switched to a more cheery behavior  which earned him a seat in the adoption quarters…Leashing Max is no problem. He walks very nicely , occasionally pulling toward other dogs, ignoring the birds and marking a little his territory. He could be house trained. His kennel is clean and orderly. He seems to be of an independent nature, does not always sit upon command but I bet he would he we were more acquainted…He takes treats politely from my hand and accepted my caresses toward the end of our encounter.  Max shows some interest meeting other dogs but it is quite brief. He lived and played with a little female ShiTzu and was friendly to the house cat according to the person who brought him in. By adopting Max, you would get a great friend. My hunch is that Max has still a number of good years in front of him to serve a new master with his love and loyalty. Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center.
