About Max

Is there anything better than a hound? Meet Max, a 3-year-old neutered male Treeing Walker mix in Horse Shoe, NC. Max weighs about 50 pounds and has all his vaccines up to date, plus a microchip. He’s the definition of a cuddle-bug—always ready for a hug or a kiss and just as quick to dish them out. Max thrives on activity; he’s not ideal for apartment living but shines with a securely fenced yard and a canine friend for playtime and squirrel patrol. He’s crate trained, housebroken, and respectful of indoor life, though he does have a bit of urinary dribbling—easily managed with a belly band. With his goofy energy, affectionate nature, and typical hound enthusiasm, Max gets along well with both people and other dogs. Evenings are his favorite time to wind down with his foster family. He’ll do best in an active home with people who know and appreciate what hounds need. A home check and local adoption are required, so be sure to check your email folders for any replies.
