About Max

Max is a young Border Collie mix with a big love for toys and an even bigger drive for fetch. He’s a high-energy dog who needs someone able to keep up, both physically and mentally—there’s nothing he enjoys more than staying busy. Children make Max nervous, especially around food, so he’ll do best in a home without kids. He isn't interested in the company of other cats or dogs either, so he needs to be the only pet. If you’ve got an active lifestyle and want a one-on-one companion, Max could be your match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
