Rescue a Pet 7/3: Max

Max is a gorgeous 4 year old Pitbull who was transferred from the Attleboro Shelter.

According to the staff at Providence Animal Rescue League :

He is such a sweet boy with so much love to give! He adores attention and loves to sit on laps! He loves to play with rope toys and prance around outside! He is blind, but seems to make his way around just fine! He will need to get familiar with his surroundings at first, but then does very well! He would do well in a home with gentle, dog savvy children. He gets along with other dogs, and has not been exposed cats. He is housetrained.
