Max is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian. Our Max, 8 year old male Alaskan Malamute is getting increasingly more anxious as he ages. He has begun marking his territory in the house constantly, and he is absolutely petrified of storms. We have 5 huskies, 3 male, 2 female and we think Max really needs to be an only pet for the remainder of his days. He is healthy, loving, loyal, thinks he is a lap dog. Would be great for someone needing a companion as he always want to be sitting or laying at your side. We rescued him from a puppy mill about 2 years ago where he was left outside in a stall/kennel for most of his life. This is why we thing he is terrified of storms. He shakes and needs to be comforted for a good 30 minutes before a storm even arrives. Currently he is an indoor dog with full access doggie door to the outside fenced yard 24/7. He HATES to be left alone and locked out in the yard. It is the only time he will bark. As he ages and gets more nervous he marks anytime a male dog is near him. We have tried EVERYTHING to make it stop but it hasn’t. He may need anxiety chews or something but I feel terrible that he is constantly feeling that anxiousness. We have 5 kids and I run an in home daycare. He is good with kids and animals of all ages. As he ages he doesn’t love to be crawled on or picked at by the toddlers so much so he will give them a little verbal back off but he has never nipped at or bitten anyone. He is neutered and up to date on his rabies vac. He is just such a sweet boy and we don’t know what to do with him. We want him to be happy in a less stressful environment. If you are interested in Max email Thejourneybloomington@gmail.com or text 812 671 2013. ***Please ignore the Apply to Adopt button for this pet & contact the owner directly***
