My name is Max, and I’m an 11-month-old Rottweiler mix who came to the Stafford County Animal Shelter on November 13, 2025. I didn’t come in looking my best. My skin was in rough shape, and the staff had to call a veterinarian right away to help me. I’m only 49 pounds, and even though I’ve clearly had a hard start, I let the staff handle me without any trouble. I only seem to understand Spanish, so we weren’t able to get much information from my previous owner. Nobody knows if I’m housebroken, good with kids, or good with other pets. I wish I could tell you myself, but all I can do is show you how gentle and sweet I really am. My past is foggy, and it’s not the kind of story any young dog should have to live through. I’m hoping the next chapter will be a whole lot brighter. I’ve been neutered, microchipped, and I’m up to date on my rabies vaccine, which means there are no geographical adoption restrictions. Anyone can come meet me and take me home if they feel we’re a match. My adoption fee is $45.

I’m ready for someone to prove that life can be kind.
