On Tuesday 23 September, court proceedings in the case of the abandoned dog known as ‘Max’ continued.
The Court considered the council’s application to determine if Max is a Pit Bull Terrier Type and if he can be re-homed through the appropriate legal framework. The judge heard from the 4 expert witnesses involved in this case and was presented with their written statements. Judgement has been reserved until a date to be confirmed.
Max remains in our contracted DAERA approved kennels, where he continues to be cared for appropriately. He is safe and well, receiving daily exercise and socialisation sessions delivered by a trainer referred by the USPCA.
