Max's story

Max came to us as a scruffy rescue in the spring of 2012, and it took him about five minutes to become a clinic favorite. He never met a treat he didn’t like, and he greeted every one of us with a full-body wag that started at his nose and ended somewhere past his tail.

In his younger years Max was all motion: fetch in the backyard, swimming any time he spotted water, and a firm belief that every visitor had come to see him. As he grew older he slowed down and settled into the good life of slow walks, sunny spots on the living room floor, and long naps with his head on the nearest available foot.

Max crossed the Rainbow Bridge peacefully, surrounded by the family who loved him for fourteen wonderful years. We were honored to be part of his care, and we know he’s running free again, tennis ball in mouth, waiting for the day his family joins him.
