Meet Maxine, a delightful Lab mix who's got a heart just bursting with love and a personality waiting to shine! 🌟 At 2 years and 3 months old, and weighing in at approximately 34 pounds, this sweet girl is on a little journey to gain some healthy weight. Maxine might have started off as shy and timid, but oh my, has she blossomed! Once just a wallflower, she now wags her tail like it’s her job, nudging for those oh-so-sweet ear scratches. If you get close enough, get ready, because she can’t resist a good kiss! 💋 When outdoors, whether in a non-fenced yard or your front lawn, Maxine is a star! She comes running back when called, proving that she’s all about bonding and trust. And let’s not forget the famous Zoomies – this girl loves to zoom around the backyard like the playful pup she is! 🎉 Her soft toys are cherished treasures, especially her favorite tree trunk filled with squirrels. Watch out, because she absolutely loves carrying those little guys around! 🐿 In her foster home, Maxine shows a gentle side with the resident 11-pound, 11-year-old terrier mix, proving she's a lover, not a fighter. And guess what? She completely ignores the family bearded dragon! How impressive is that? 🦎 No kids yet in her life, but don’t worry—Maxine is just a bit hesitant and will give any fast-moving little ones some space until she feels comfy. Maxine’s current meals are a delightful mix of wet and hard food, and she’s got such good manners! You can put her food bowl down, and she won’t mind if you come near while she’s munching. What a lady! 🍽️ Although she’s still learning the ropes of leash walking—sometimes pulling and trying to hide behind her humans when meeting other dogs—she’s a quick learner and craves that gentle reassurance. With a traumatic past as an owner surrender from a kill shelter in Texas, she’s learned to be cautious around fast movements and loud noises. But this absolutely adorable girl is ready for a forever family that will shower her with the love she so richly deserves! 💖 Maxine may still have some fear, but when given a gentle touch and kind words, she transforms into the sweetest companion. This beautiful soul would make a wonderful addition to any loving home. So why not make her dreams come true? Apply to adopt sweet Maxine through the Buddy App today! 💌
