Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MAX**CONTACT STACEY staceyloveslabs@gmail.com***MAX--"OUR COMPANION LABRADOR--LOVING--GENTLE--GORGEOUS" MAX IS A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL. 4 YEAR OLD, 65 POUND, BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER . WE RECEIVED AN URGENT CALL FROM A SHELTER VOLUNTEER LETTING US KNOW THAT THIS GRAND LABRADOR WAS IN HER HIGH KILL SHELTER AND NEEDED OUR HELP!!! WHEN WE RECEIVED THE MESSAGE WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO GET MAX, WE COULDN'T GET TO HIM FAST ENOUGH!!! WHEN WE FIRST SAW HIM WE SPOKE A KIND WORD TO HIM, HE LIFTED HIS GORGEOUS HEAD, HIS EYES BEGAN TO SPARKLE, HIS OTTER TAIL BEGAN TO WAG AS IF MAX WAS SAYING "PLEASE HELP ME". MAX LEFT THAT HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY AND IS NOW READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE!!!! WHEN YOU SPEND ANY TIME AT ALL WITH MAX YOU CAN TELL HE GIVES TRUE MEANING TO THE WORD "COMPANION", A LAB WHO WOULD BOND STRONGLY WITH HIS OWNER, DEVOTED AND LOVING. THE MINUTE YOU MEET MAX GET READY TO HAVE YOUR HEART STOLEN, WITHIN MINUTES YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS LOVING, GENTLE PUP, WE DID!!! THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NOTICE AND IT TRULY GOES WITHOUT SAYING IS WHAT BEAUTIFUL AND AFFECTIONATE FELLOW HE IS. HIS COAT IS, SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, A GLISTENING "HIGH GLOSS" BLACK YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB MAX ALL DAY. HE IS A PUP WHO ADORES ATTENTION AND AFFECTION SO THIS IS JUST FINE WITH HIM. HIS EYES WILL MAKE YOU MELT. THEY ARE A DEEP, COGNAC COLOR WITH A GENTLE, KIND "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION, IN OUR OPINION IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. MAX IS A GORGEOUS PUP YES, BUT THIS PUP'S TRUE BEAUTY IS HIS HEART AND SPIRIT. HE HAS THE LABRADOR GLOWING TEMPERAMENT AND PERSONALITY. HE IS AN AFFECTIONATE, HAPPY GUY WHO WILL GREET YOU WITH A SOFT, KIND EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE, WHAT WE CALL A "SOFT DOG". A PUP WHO'S TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HIS. IF MAX IS WITH YOU HE'S HAPPY. WHATEVER YOU DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH MAX JUST INVITE HIM TO COME ALONG. HE WOULD ADORE AN EARLY MORNING WALK STAYING CLOSE BY YOUR SIDE, ENJOYING THE DAY, JUST ENJOYING LIFE. IF YOU HAD ERRANDS TO RUN AROUND TOWN DON'T LET MAX HEAR YOU JINGLE YOUR CAR KEYS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON TAKING HIM ALONG. HE WILL FIND HIS SEAT, TURN THAT BEAUTIFUL HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU HIS "I'M READY, LET'S GO" LOOK. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS MAX IS READY. HE WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, FROLICKING IN A FLUFFY SNOW BANK, IF YOU HAD FRIENDS JOIN YOU AND A FEW OF THEIR DOGS MAX WOULD LOVE THE COMPANY. HE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A BEST FRIEND DOG BUDDY, ONE WHO HAS THE SAME EASY "LIFE IS GOOD" ATTITUDE MAX DOES. MAX IS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST PUPS WE HAVE SEEN!!! THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO THIS GREAT LAB'S PACKAGE AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG AFTER SPENDING JUST A SHORT TIME WITH MAX TO REALIZE THIS PUP IS SOOOO SMART. HE IS AN EXTREMELY ALERT GUY ALWAYS AWEAR OF HIS SURROUNDINGS. HE IS A PUP WHO IS EAGER TO LEARN, LEARNS INCREDIBLY FAST AND FINDS ANYTHING NEW YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO EXCITING AND A CHALLENGE. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT WHEN IT COMES TO MAX. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU AND MAX HAVE TAKEN LONG WALKS, PLAYED IN YOUR YARD AND RUN A FEW ERRANDS, WHEN YOU SETTLE IN BY THE FIREPLACE TO WATCH A SLOW, EASY SUNSET YOU WOULD FIND THIS COMPANION LAB CURLED UP AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET, RESTING THAT GORGEOUS HEAD RIGHT IN YOUR LAP, CONTENT AND HAPPY. HIS FACE WOULD HAVE A LOOK OF TOTAL HAPPINESS AS HE IS WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HIM--YOU!!! AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THIS EXCEPTIONAL LABRADOR, WE FEEL THAT THE HOME THAT WOULD MAKE MAX'S LIFE COMPLETE IS ONE THAT IS EASY GOING AND LOVING. A HOME WHERE MAX COULD SPEND THE DAY, PLAYING WITH HIS FAMILY, NAPPING IN THE SUN OR TAKING LONG WALKS. HE WOULD BE A DREAM COMPANION FOR A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER CHILDREN WHO WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A NEW BEST FRIEND. CHILDREN WHO WOULD WANT TO SPEND THE DAY PLAYING AND LOVING MAX!!! MAX ONLY HAS ONE REQUEST AND HIS EYES TOLD US THIS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW HIM IN THE HIGH KILL SHELTER, HE WANTS TO BE SOME ONE'S CHERISHED COMPANION, TO BE A PART OF SOMEONE'S LIFE. HE WANTS TO BELONG TO A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM. THIS IS THE LIFE HE HAS ALWAYS KNOWN, THE LIFE HE DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. HE JUST WANTS TO KNOW THAT WHEN HE CURLS UP ON HIS BIG, SOFT BED AT NIGHT HE WILL RECEIVE A PAT AND HEAR THE WORDS " MAX WE LOVE YOU" SPOKEN BY HIS NEW FAMILY AND THIS GENTLE, LOVING PUP WILL LIFT HIS HEAD, BLINK HIS GORGEOUS EYES, WAG HIS "OTTER" TAIL AND WE KNOW THIS IS HIS WAY OF SAYING "I LOVE YOU TOO" AND MAX WILL CLOSE HIS EYES, DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP CONTENT AND HAPPY HIS WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED HE HAS HIS FAMILY AGAIN AND IS LOVED!!! ***** IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MAKING MAX A PART OF YOUR LIFE PLEASE CONTACT*****STACEY staceyloveslabs@gmail.com (MAX IS LOCATED IN TN. AND WILL ARRIVE IN THE NEW ENGLAND AREA ON A PET TRANSPORT WHEN ADOPTED)
