Maxine has the spirit of a comedian and the heart of a loyal friend. With her mix of shepherd smarts and her striking black and cream coat, she quickly charms anyone she meets. Maxine loves life on her own terms—sometimes she’s ready to play, sometimes she’s content to lounge side by side. Clever, affectionate, and truly independent, she brings both fun and warmth wherever she goes. Maxine prefers a home where she’s the only dog around, as she thrives on close human connection without canine competition. She isn’t the best fit for cats, but she does get along with children and brings a mellow, mature energy to the mix. Maxine is not yet house trained, but with her intelligence, she’ll pick things up quickly in a patient home. She’s a special older girl who has learned when to relax and when to enjoy herself.
