The sixth dog of Christmas...Max the spaniel
The next dog looking for a home in our new series with Dogs Trust is the gentle Max


The next dog in our Christmas rehoming series is the lovely five-year-old Max, a spaniel at Dogs Trust Snetterton who can't wait to settle down in a new home.
A pup at heart, Max still loves his toys and likes to carry them about with him. In true spaniel style, Max is a big fan of walking and swimming and is hoping to find an adult-only family with whom he can enjoy these activities.
An independent boy at first, Max loves fuss and attention once he gets to know you so would benefit from several visits from his new family at the centre so they can get to know each other.
If you think Max could be your perfect companion, please call Dogs Trust Snetterton on 0300 303 1292 or visit www.dogstrust.org.uk
