✨ Meet Max, a charming little soul who’s been on quite a journey. This delightful pup found himself back at the rescue after a brief stint with a family who, unfortunately, felt overwhelmed. They had a special needs child and another dog, and it seems that Max’s playful energy was just too much for their hectic life. Picture this: Max, loaded into the car, possibly facing abandonment, before the family decided to bring him back. Can you believe that? 😢 But fear not! This adorable boy has returned to safe hands, and now he’s hoping and praying for a real home—one filled with love, time, and connection! ❤️ Now, let’s talk about this sweet boy’s background! Max is one of the last two siblings from a litter of five who were found abandoned at just 10 days old, eyes just starting to twinkle. He was born around Christmas Day—how festive! 🎄 Can you imagine a puppy with such a special connection to the holiday spirit still searching for his forever home? While Max’s breed is a mystery, his mama is a beautiful chocolate-colored small/medium mix with intriguing features. With possibly some Aussie, Heeler, or Husky in her DNA—along with the hint of Thai Ridgeback or Doberman from that quirky cowlick—Max is bound to be a unique companion. We can only speculate about Dad, but from what we gather, he must have been a big, lovable fellow—maybe a bully or hound mix, given the size of these adorable puppies. Although the pups were raised in a nurturing environment, they haven’t met cats or small children yet. However, with their lively puppy energy, they’re ready to play with anyone who matches their spirit! 🐾 Max is nearly potty trained, but transitioning back to the kennel has caused some regression. A supportive home with consistent potty breaks will help him bounce back in no time! Max has received all his vaccines, dewormers, and heartworm prevention—and he’s now neutered too! His adoption fee is only $75, which helps ensure a committed and loving home. How can you resist such a pup with so much heart? 💖 So, if you feel that calling in your heart to give Max the loving home he deserves, don’t wait!
