Meet the incredible Max! This marvelously spirited canine has faced some tough challenges in life, specifically with his hips, which makes him a special-needs dog. He will need a major surgery in the future, but don’t let that fool you! Max is a beacon of joy, and he’s looking for a warm-hearted person who is willing to join him on this journey. 💖 Max's daily routine includes receiving Librela injections and joint supplements to keep him feeling comfy and happy. But let me tell you, this dog is so much more than just his medical needs! 💪 Max is a delightful bundle of joy with a personality that shines brighter than the sun! ☀️ He is sweet, goofy, and full of playful charm. Watching him frolic in the snow is nothing short of magical; his pure excitement and boundless happiness can light up the dullest of days. And on sunny days? Oh, you’ll find him sprawled out, soaking up the rays and just basking in the joy of being with his favorite humans. 🐾 During his stay at HSOC, Max has been a social butterfly! He has interacted well with other dogs, but due to his hip condition, he needs a family with low-energy canine companions or pups that know how to keep the playtime gentle. A small meet-and-greet will be essential for ensuring all furry friends find their paw-fect match Max does have a bit of separation anxiety—it’s a common trait in shelter dogs adjusting to big changes. But don’t worry! The fabulous trainer, Jim Kats, is ready to equip you with tools and techniques that will help Max smoothly settle into his new forever home. 🤗 Max is special—truly special in every way. This loving dog is seeking someone who looks beyond his challenges and acknowledges the wonderful spirit he is. Could that someone be you? Don’t let the opportunity to change both of your lives slip away. ❤️ If you’re ready to show Max the love he deserves, remember to apply through the Buddy App! Max cannot wait to meet you!
