Max has been waiting far too long for someone to see past the kennel walls. He’s a big-hearted boy with a protective streak, especially devoted to women and kids—those are definitely his people. Max is initially wary of men but tends to warm up once he realizes he’s safe, given a bit of patience. He enjoys other animals when out and about, but prefers to be the only dog inside his domain, where his natural guardian instincts shine. When it comes to playing ball or giving affection to those he trusts, he’s all in—a real softie at heart. Max has spent two years at Friends of the Animal Community misunderstood, but what he really needs is someone willing to invest a little time and understanding.
