Lol..,he was just about 10-11 months old, and apparently dumped. There is a small rural area where red woolies keep showing up wandering. It's small town, with corner family grocery store. He was hanging around outside the store, and as people went in, he went in with. They'd shoo him out, and he'd just wait for the next person to go right back in. It didn't take him long to figure out he was big enough to trip the mat on the electric door and go in by himself. He must have been hungry, cause he went straight to the meat dept. and sat down and started whining. There is a realtor in the area who has a huge heart, and a few spare kennels, and they called her rather than the pound. The day after she got Max, she took him for vetting and started the search for where he belonged. No one claimed him, so she contacted a husky rescue here in TX, just outside of Dallas. She has sent them dogs before (from same area), and she was going to keep him till they found a family to adopt him. Meanwhile, I'm new in TX, looking to adopt a 3rd. I filled out an app on another red boy, and they called to tell me that he had just gone foster-to-adopt that very day, but asked if I would be interested in a different red boy. They sent me a pic, and it was all over. After about a week, a home and a vet check later, we made the 4+ hour drive to get our "puppy"... At about 11 month sold, he was way bigger than our other 2. When they brought him into the room, my husband turned around to look at him, and immediately said "that's not my puppy".... Lmaoooo....yes, he was mine fbefore I even met him. Someone missed out on this amazing boy!!! We think it's a back yard breeder that's active in that area, because there have been several others before and after Max, but he's OEF a kind, and none of them have had the same facial markings. I've never ever seen another Husky with his same mask.
I am so sorry you couldn't get justice for your little buddy because the offender was an Officer.
