Rescue listing · Assisi Animal Sanctuary
Max
Collie (Border)
Max is a handsome Collie who arrived at the sanctuary as a stray and was initially very wary of people. With time, patience and daily work he has grown in confidence, learned to accept a collar, harness and lead, and now enjoys walks and sunbathing in the field. He remains a nervous boy who would thrive in a patient, experienced home where he can continue to learn to trust humans again.
In the care of Assisi Animal Sanctuary, Down.
