Max is a sweet old man, loves everyone except cats! He's about 11 years old, a well-behaved Redbone hound. He sits, stays, shakes hands and rolls over. Looking for a family to retire with.

He's pictured here with Stephanie Cooper at Newark Wal-Mart recently.

Stephanie takes Shelter animals out on weekends around the county. Call 946.3389 for more information.

Mark your calendars - an open house is planned at the Shelter on May 7 from 11 until 3. Meet the staff and find out how you can help. There are also prizes to be won. Watch for more details.
