🐾 Not my usual type of post this morning but I offered to help because this sweet boy deserves so much, we all fall in love every time he visits us at the cafe 🐾
💛 It’s time to help Max find his perfect forever home. 💛
Max is a gorgeous, gentle 7-year-old Anatolian Shepherd/Kangal mix, rescued from the streets of Turkey and now happily settled in foster care in Wiltshire.
He’s a big, brindle Turkish Delight who is wonderfully laid-back, affectionate and, most importantly, very lazy! 😴 He loves his food, comfy bed, garden naps and human company.
🏡 What Max is looking for:
• A calm, loving, child-free home
• Someone who understands that he needs his space respected, particularly when sleeping
• He can live as an only dog or with another calm, friendly dog
• A home where he can enjoy plenty of company, cuddles and relaxed days
🐶 Max is house-trained, walks beautifully on the lead and is great in the car. He loves going to cafés and pubs and will happily settle down while you enjoy a coffee. He enjoys walks and can go off lead in suitable areas, although he is very friendly and likes to say hello to everyone!
He lives happily with other dogs and is a polite, gentle boy who prefers dogs with good manners rather than those who rush into his face.
Max has clearly had a difficult past and can be startled by sudden movements around him when he’s resting, so he needs understanding, predictable humans who will give him the space and reassurance he deserves.
💛 The lovely bonus: His foster carer is happy to continue looking after Max for holidays in the future (for local-ish adopters), so you’ll never have to worry about kennels or leaving him with strangers.
There is absolutely no pressure to take Max — it has to be the right match for both him and his new family. He is a funny, sweet, loving boy who deserves a safe and happy forever home. 🥰
If you think Max could be your boy, or would like more information, please comment below or message me and I’ll let his current owner know.
Please share far and wide — let’s find Max his forever family. 🐾💛
