max

Max is a big, healthy 4-year-old Golden Retriever (about 82 pounds of gorgeous red/orange fluff!) who had to be surrendered by his family after four years because of housing issues. He is a total social butterfly who absolutely loves people, walks great on a leash, and already knows "sit" and "paw". He’s a total family guy and used to live with an adult, three kids (9, 11, and 18), a cat, and five other medium-sized dogs, so he's totally fine with strangers and greats along with other pets he knows. His only quirk that he’s working on is being nervous when he sees strange dogs on leash walks- this is  because he was bitten by a dog in the past. Although, he’s trying very hard to conquer his past and did an amazing job ignoring a dog recently that was barking and lunging at him, choosing to just sniff the grass and keep his cool. We’re so proud of him! He just needs a loving family who can manage his toy time, play, training, and of course cuddle time- to help him become the wonderful pup he’s wanting to be. This sweet, loyal boy is completely heartbroken after losing the only family and home he has ever known his entire life, and he is just waiting for a second chance with someone who will give him all the love, patience, and comfort he needs to heal his lonely heart.  Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit.Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog. We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org) Thanks so much.
