Max

Max is a unique-looking dog at the BGWC Humane Society. He is a mix, and he looks like he’s part Australian Cattle dog, maybe a pinch of Greyhound, and a good bit Catahoula Leopard dog. He also has heterochromia, which is when one eye is a different color than the other. His left eye has the deep brown of an Aussie, while the other is a piercing, icy blue color that comes directly from his Catahoula heritage.

Aside from being quite a looker, Max is also very special on the inside. Although he is only three years old and has an insatiable curiosity, he seems much older because he has heart worms and has to move slowly. Of course, he will recover from this, but it seems to be a real damper on his fun not to be able to run and sniff things as much as he wants.

On the positive side, he now has more time to play with people and make new friends. He is very gentle and respectful to other dogs, and friendly and affectionate to new people, although his previous owners said that he can be defensive against newcomers if he believes they are a threat to his loved ones. However, he is very tolerant of his friends, so children who hug him or play with his ears and such don’t have to worry about being bitten.

Max has been adopted from the Humane Society, and should be settling into his new home soon. Best wishes to him and his new family as he recovers and starts a new chapter in his life, one that will hopefully be filled with lots of love and good memories.
