Ilaria Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Dear friends, the loss of our beloved Max has been heartbreaking and our house, despite the presenze of his little sister, was empty. The rescue center where I picked Max ten years ago put a post in his memory on their web page and while I was looking again at their post my eyes met the ones of a hound in search of his forever home....and so.....we decided to honour Max's memory adopting another hound in need. He's already in Italy, we'll take him next weekend. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Qa9gSB1rnsiwUJiy6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job, Max. Welcome home Steve! There were far too many coincidences not to think it was Max who was sending Steve our way...when I called the rescue asking about Steve they told me he was already in Italy because he was the spare one to complete the van from Ireland (like Max was) and he was in foster in the same kennel in which was fostered Max. He is a big rambuctious goofball (just like Max). Some nights before I dreamt I was in a beach at night, I was calling for Max and Runa and a black dog came to me (never had one). I'll put more pictures of him, thank you for your heartwarming welcome! Edited February 28 by Ilaria 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenEveBaz Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 What a beautiful boy! Max would be so glad for you. And there is no better memorial for a loved pet than to give a home to another in need.

Ilaria Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 And so...we anticipated our trip and we went today to the kennel but unluckily Steve wasn't a good match with Runa....we were going to abort the mission but the rescue lady introduces us to another hound. Runa was a bit stressed at first (there was also a mistake from Steve's handler and she was bitten by him poor thing) but Fiveo was a real gentleman, he kept inviting her to play and never minded her growls. So we are going home with Fiveo, let's hope in a couple of days they'll become friends 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyPoopon Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 It's too bad that handsome Steve wasn't a good fit, but Fiveo sounds perfect. I hope things continue to go well and he settles in quickly.
