Meet the incredible, resilient pup known as Max! 🌟 Just like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Max has transformed his life since escaping a world of chains and confinement. Before arriving at Colonial Capital Humane Society in February 2024, he lived a life that was less than ideal, surrounded by heartbreak yet filled with hope. Now, he's ready to take on the world, one wag at a time! 🐾 Max may be a bit selective when it comes to his doggy friends — sometimes he’s a little barky around new people, but isn’t that just the way of a cautious heart? Fear not! With love, patience, and those tasty little hot dogs he just can't resist 🌭, Max has been learning to trust and has even mastered some new commands. Just imagine taking this charming fellow on those long park walks, his tail wagging in sheer delight! 🌳 Currently, Max is undergoing treatment for heartworm, but this brave boy is a fighter! He’s ready to embark on a new chapter, filling your home with joy and cuddles. If you’re looking for a furry friend who will forever be grateful and fill your life with love and laughter, then Max is your guy! 🥰 Please note, while he’s got a big heart, Max is looking for a loving home that understands his special needs and is willing to give him time to blossom. Adopters must apply through the Buddy App to bring this sweet soul into their lives! Max, like those born under the sign of Cancer, has a nurturing spirit. He's ready to love and be loved in return.
