Max is a Jindo and Mastiff mix who’s been through a lot, but he’s come a long way since his rescue from a shut-down slaughterhouse. At about 1 year old and 65lbs, Max is large, strong, and still learning to trust the world. He’s housebroken, smart, and responds well to patience and tasty treats. Due to his past, he does not do well in kennels and is still getting comfortable with leash walks, especially with new people or places. Give him a couple of days to settle in, and he starts to show his affectionate, cuddly side—he’s the kind of dog who chooses his people and stays devoted. Max is selective about his dog friends and hasn’t been tested with cats. He would do best in an adult or older teen home (16+) with people who understand sensitive, protective dogs and are willing to grant him some time and space at first. He wants a stable home where he can feel safe—food, trust, and a little routine go a long way with him. Max is ready for someone patient with a big heart who wants to give a deserving dog his second chance. Click apply to start the adoption process.
