About Maximus
Maximus, known as Max, lost his home when his person passed away from cancer, leaving him without the stable life he once knew. Surrounded by friends who cared, Max was advocated for, but ended up at a high-intake shelter before finding his way to safety. He’s had positive experiences with other dogs—his previous companion was a black lab, and he's mingled with smaller dogs, though his new home should not have small dogs or children due to a bite incident in his past. The cause isn’t clear, but a predictable, adult environment is best for him. Max is a big, strong boy and needs an experienced handler. With his people, he's affectionate, enjoying ear scratches and strutting on walks. He’s house trained, crate trained, rides well in the car, and handles new situations calmly, having done well at the shelter and vet. Max is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for someone patient to give him another shot at a loving home. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
