Meet our extraordinary boy, whose name is Max! 🌟 This sweet soul may start off a bit shy around newcomers, but just give him a moment, and you’ll witness his gentle spirit shine through! Picture this: a cozy corner of the couch, a pile of his favorite toys, and Max, happily wagging his tail, ready to share in your adventures! Max absolutely adores his toys! 🎾 Imagine him zooming around the living room, catching a ball or tugging on a rope. Walks are his happy place too, as he struts beautifully on a leash—this boy knows how to enjoy the great outdoors! He’s been housetrained here at the shelter, but keep in mind that he might need a little time to adjust to a new routine in a forever home. 🌈 Previous caregivers shared that he’s still polishing up on his crate-training, particularly enjoying a cozy plastic crate. The best part? He’s had some experience living with kids! However, it might be best for him to settle into a home with older children, as he can feel overwhelmed by the littles. Socializing with other dogs might be a bit of an awkward journey for dear Max; he tends to be socially reserved and may need an introduction to any existing canine companions. 🐾 When it comes to feline friends, he's a gentle soul who has lived harmoniously with cats, even playfully touching noses from time to time—adorable, right? Max's previous family noted he displayed some separation-related anxiety when life got busy with a full-time job. But fear not! They emphasized he did well when left home alone on errands, and we will arm adopters with a treasure trove of tips for helping him navigate any struggles with separation anxiety in the new digs. ❤️ And here’s a little icing on the cake: Max qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program! This means you can take your time to see if he’s the paw-fect fit for you! Now, let’s take care of the practical stuff—every adoptable pup here is spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Max is 3 years old and approximately 88 lbs of love!
