Max, lab staffie x *gone to rescue*

This dog will need a foster home from Saturday as he cannot stay longer where he is now.
Breed looks like a staffie lab x, the size of a cocker spaniel, young male.
Will add more details later. If you can help please contact myself or Karen as soon as possible.

sorry elena this fella has to go tomorrow the person who is holing on to him is going away on sat and wants him taking tomorrow

ok this is very urgent now. Anyone that can help? even hold onto him for few days to give us a bit more time to find something?

He is good with other dogs and children, housetrained and about a year and a half old. He's a very happy and friendly dog and I would hate to see him going to the pound

i still have nowhere for this lad my little fella is home at 3 and i cant take him home with me i have 3 dogs at home please any1????????

I don't know if I'm ready to manage 2 dogs yet together as I'm still in my first week but if needs be I can take him for a few days until something else is sorted. I don't think I'd be able to manage over the whole Christmas though.

thanks very much for the offer Rachel

I will be taking this guy from tonight and I can hold on to him until Sunday evening/ Monday morning so that makes a couple of days more that we can use to make a better assessment of the dog and match him with the right foster home.
He is still going to be urgent from Monday.

ok cool, well if you are still stuck then and reckon he is good with the kiddies then give me a shout.

i can give this guy a place to stay if ye are stuck but cant do anything till wednesday cos of work stuff

In case you haven't noticed I'm delighted :D:D:D:D:D:D

Thank you sooooooooo much.

thanks Colin

I will post more updates and photos on Max tomorrow. Everything seems fine, he's a lovely dog, more lab than staffie. He's been playing all evening with my collie and now is in the crate ready for the night

wont be able to do anything till wednesday sadly but can definetly look after him for the x mass will off till the 2nd

I don't understand how could someone want to ged rid of his guy! He is absolutely adorable
He is so sweet and friendly!!! We went to the vets this morning and he was very friendly with all people and dogs he met in there - he nearly licked the vet to death . He slept all night without a peep out of him and is happy to be in the crate. He loves playing with toys and I can take them off his mouth no problem, he just wants to play and play

I'd say he hadn't had much training and will need to be thought some manners - e.g. not to jump on people or stealing food from the kitchen top - but other than this I am sure he will make a wonderful family pet.

He had his first vaccination today and the vet reckons is under 2 years old and in very good conditions. The only 'bad thing' I can say about him is that he is coking his leg everywhere ...but this will be fixed after his vet appointment on Monday

Here's some photos I took this morning



he is so similar to Oscar in this photo


Playing time - Max is just slightly bigger than Belle, I'd say small lab size.

wow they look very happy playing together, he looks so friendly and healthy im sure he will have no trouble finding the kind loving home he's looking for
a big thanks to you all for helping this little fella

He's a gorgeous looking fella -- love them photos & the expression on his face well done elena

Max is recovering really well after his surgery yesterday - I took him home last evening and he was playful adn happy like if nothing happened to him . He was big hit at the vet and they called him 'the big baby'. I thinK it is because he is very puppish and playful and very sweet. Pity that my lab doesn't want to have anything to do with him and I still need to keep the two of them separated. Other than that he has been really really good!

Max is going into foster with glic83 tomorrow but still needs an offer of a home or rescue space.

ahh good to hear he's well what a sweet fella

max is getting on great had him,stella and tilly in my parents house 2day not a bother with him hes in my house now ill take a few pics in a min and upload them

excellent! thanks Colin

he has only eaten small bits at a time but other than that he is flying it will keep giving him food say he will be flying tommorrow

he's nearly as black as the couch and I see that he took over Stella's spot
Tilly looks very relaxed, she's a smashing girl

I wouldn't be too much worried about the food. He's been through a lot in the last few days: change of environment, new people, got neutered on Monday, he also got his worming tablet yesterday and today it was a long drive for him
I am sure his appetite will be back very soon!
Did you see him in action with the squeaky toy yet?

wow hes very hadsome ' lovely coat

yeah thought as much Elena,gave him some of the food you gave me and he ate some of that not all but im happy enough with the amount he has gone through today,yeah he has taken over stella's spot on the couch,tilly is grand and relaxed there but she has her moments ,the 2 of them love the fire as you can see,cant beat the stoves




gave him the toy a few times he was priceless i was wetting myself

He's a very handsome chap!! Tilly looks like she's been around foster dogs her whole life!!
