Take Max home

I have to admit that I am almost hesitant to blog about this particular dog. His name is Max and he is one incredibly sweet pooch; I hesitate to let the world know he's available because I would love to take him home with me.

Max is a stout boy. One of the volunteers at the League of Animal Protection where Max lives joked that he is part chocolate Lab, "part hippopotamus." He's not overweight; he's just has a burly build.

I spent a morning last month at LAP, and found myself drawn to Max, who always came up to the fence to sniff my hand in a "Hello, nice to meet you" manner.

Max's bio on the LAP Web site reads: "Max came into the shelter on January 21, 2006. Max is housebroken, sweet and calm. He is a super nice dog and is fine with other dogs and children, too. Max is two years old. Max obeys well and is very intelligent. "

So he has spent his whole life in a shelter. And he's still a great dog.

If you know someone who wants to add a happy, calm dog to their home, please send them to Max at the League of Animal Protection, 603 Poor Farm Road, in Fincastle.

Hurry, before I try to convince my husband he followed me home.
