Max is a tall, lanky two-year-old Shepherd mix with an affectionate, easygoing nature. He absolutely adores people and other dogs, and his favorite thing after playtime is to find a lap—despite his large size, he still acts like a big, cuddly puppy. Max is putting on healthy weight and muscle, thanks to regular fun with his canine pals. He shares his toys, is house and crate trained, and is quick to let you know when he needs to go outside. He's curious, food-motivated, and picks up new commands fast. Walks turn into sniffing adventures, and car rides are his calmest moments. Max does not get along with cats and may be a bit overwhelming for smaller pets—he's gentle-hearted but doesn’t know his own size. You'll want to keep chewy items like linens out of reach, as he’s drawn to soft things, but otherwise, he’s an easygoing companion eager to settle into family life. Max is ready to meet his forever home in Oxford, ME. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
