• 01 Care for Dogs – Dog of the Month for April – Max
I’m small but I am also feisty! I would do well in a home where I can rule the roost. I’m a bit of a loner but love the attention of humans…just not so keen on other dogs. I’m getting on in years which doesn’t help although I am still very healthy and handsome! The slight corneal ulcers caused by dry eye mean I will need drops possibly for the rest of my life. Not surprising then that I’m occasionally grumpy…I’d be very grateful if someone could take me out of the shelter then I can start acting like the cute little man I actually am! Call asap!
If you think Max could be a good match for you or anyone you know, then contact Care for Dogs, English (084 52 5255) Thai (086 913 8701) or e-mail: contact@carefordogs.org to make an appointment to meet him at the shelter. www.carefordogs.org
