MAD MAX

4/26/04 Here are some really great pics of Mad Max (Mr. Red) all grown up and happily living with his sister, Ali. Max is in beginner's agility and doing extremely well. Please check back for updates on his progress. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures of a very handsome Mad Max.

10/25/03 Mad Max came to visit us at our October Pets911 event. Here are some new pics for you to enjoy!

Max is one lucky little boy! He has been in foster care with Amy and Randy shortly after arriving in Phoenix. Earlier this week, we received a very promising application for adoption on Max. We contacted Amy to prepare her that someone who appeared to be a really good home for Max was interested in meeting him. She conferred with her family and they all agreed that Max deserved a new family of his own. However, the next morning, Amy called to let us know that Max already was part of a family that loved him very much...they just couldn't bear to let him go :-). Max has already learned many great tricks using hand signs and soon he will get a chance to see if agility is something he enjoys! We thank that "interested party" in understanding that Max's family just couldn't give him up. Please be sure to check back for updates on Max. Here are some pics with his new family.

7/30/03 Mad Max (named after the Mel Gibson character, seeing how their both Australian) is quite the energetic puppy. He is very alert and even though he can't hear, he is incredibly smart. We have had him since July 19 and he has already learned come & sit signals. We are still working on a stay signal, but he's a puppy that can't sit still for long! He also is starting to walk to the door when he has to go out (as opposed to being carried out the door in a hurry).

Like his brother (Marco aka Mr. Blue) Max also enjoys dipping his feet in his water, not to mention trying to dig to China while he's there. Max loves to play with his foster sister Ali (white Boxer). I think his favorite thing to do is try to hide rawhide bones so that Ali can't find them. Max tucks them into tiny places that she can't get into and gets them out when she isn't looking. :-) Max is very affectionate and loving. He enjoys giving puppy kisses to everybody (human & canine). If you didn't know that Max was hearing impaired you would think he was your average happy puppy. His disability doesn't slow him down at all!!

Mr. Red (now named Mad Max) (puppy I picked up from Michele) a.k.a. devil puppy (very faded blue merle) He can see out of both eyes, but is deaf. He loves to tug and play with a ball. He is insane - go go go - all the time. He's the most dominant of the litter - and he thinks it should be his way or the highway. HE HE HE He should go to a performance home - or he'll drive his owners crazy. He may not be able to hear, but he can still play agility or flyball, maybe even herd with the right training! He LOVES to follow me all over the place. He received his "puppy shots, etc" and was 6.8 lbs on Thursday. He's the second biggest of the litter.

Mr. Red will be going to a foster home (specializing in agility who has a wonderful white Boxer named Ali) on Saturday, July 19, 2003...stay tuned for updates. Max has been neutered and is up-to-date on shots.
