About Max

Max lost his home when his family had to move, but he's proven to be resilient and loving in his foster setting. He has experience with small dogs and kids, and he especially enjoys being around older kids who give him plenty of scratches. Playtime is always on the agenda for Max—he gets along with other dogs, particularly ones his own size, and loves lively games of chase. He’s known for his upbeat energy on walks and makes a terrific hiking companion, always sniffing out new adventures. Max settles comfortably in the home, is both house and crate trained, and quickly warms up to newcomers. His favorite way to greet returning humans is with his signature “Scooby sounds,” which signal how much he missed you. Though he arrived at his foster home shy and uncertain, his confidence has blossomed, especially when surrounded by people and furry friends willing to help him thrive. Max is vocal, clever with puzzle toys, and genuinely enjoys a good snuggle after a long day. He’s a playful, affectionate guy looking for someone who values companionship and activity equally. Give Max the stability and affection he deserves, and you’ll have a loyal, goofy pal for life. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
