Max, the sixth dog in our Twelve Dogs of Christmas series with Dogs Trust, will melt your heart with his wonderful playfulness and lovely personality.

A nine year-old cocker spaniel, Max is quite the charmer and enjoys meeting new people as well as being very enthusiastic when it comes to playtime!

Ella Tonge of Dogs Trust Loughborough says, 'Max is a lovely older gentleman who will happily pass the hours playing fetch. Best to take two toys with you though as you might struggle to get him to drop one.

'True to his spaniel breed Max loves the water and likes going for a swim. A very sociable boy, Max enjoys meeting new people and dogs when out and about.

'As he is getting a bit older he would like a quiet and laid back home where he can relax and take the time to settle in at his own pace.

'A key to helping him settle in will certainly be treats and toys, but no doubt with a bit of time and TLC he will build up a trusting relationship and become a great addition to the family.'

If you think Max would be the perfect addition to your family, please contact Dogs Trust Loughborough on 01509 880 070 or visit them at Hill arm, Wide Lane, Wymeswold, Loughborough, LE12 6SE.

We think all dogs deserve a wonderful home but they are a big responsibility, so please remember not to pick up a dog this Christmas unless they can be financially supported and receive the time and devotion they require.

If you would like to help Country Life and Dogs Trust to spread the message that a dog is for life, not just for Christmas, why not get involved with the Dogs Trust #presspaws campaign.
