Oh, dear heart, let me introduce you to Maximus, or as his friends lovingly call him, Max. This beautiful boy is not just a pet; he's a spirit in need of a new home and a fresh start. Max's journey has been nothing short of heartbreaking. You see, he once had a loving home, with a special person who adored him beyond words. But life threw a curveball—his human faced an aggressive illness, and sadly, she passed away. In the midst of such sorrow, Max’s world crumbled, and he found himself in a high-kill shelter, waiting for someone to see the treasure he truly is. 💔 Max knows what comfort feels like; he’s enjoyed the simple joys of home life, sharing space with another dog, a black lab, and now currently getting along with a small dog, a Doxi. Isn’t that wonderful? But here’s the scoop: Max has had a challenging time coping with change. He’s been around kids but has a past bite incident, which some believe may stem from his painful loss or a past illness. That’s why we think it’s best for him to find a loving home where there are no small children or small dogs. Max is a strong and spirited boy, so he could really benefit from a savvy handler who will understand his needs. 🌟 Now let me tell you, when it comes to affection, Max is a sucker for scratches! He struts around with a swagger, like he owns the place. This boy is house-trained, crate trained, well-behaved, and rides like a royal in the car. As of now, he’s fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready to embark on his new adventure with someone who understands the magic of a gentle touch and a warm heart. 💖 This precious soul deserves a chance to heal, and with the right person by his side, the sky’s the limit!
