Let’s turn your heart up to the MAX! 🌟 Meet Max, a delightful 5-year-old, 80-pound German Shepherd mix, who is just waiting for that special family to sweep him off his paws and into a furever home. 💖 Max is a big softie with a heart full of love—it’s just waiting to bloom with the right human! Having faced some ups and downs in life, this gentle giant is a bit shy around new faces, both people and pooches. But with a sprinkle of patience and a dash of love, Max is eagerly building his confidence through positive reinforcement training. 🐕✨ Imagine Max, a playful companion who’s discovering the joys of fetch and frolicking in the yard! 🎾 While he’s mastering his daily relaxation protocols, he can’t wait to find someone to help him realize the world isn’t as scary as it seems. And let’s not forget his sensitivity to outside noises—this charming boy loves his white noise machine, creating a calm atmosphere for him to unwind. 🌈 Now, don’t let that shy exterior fool you! Max is well-behaved, and he’s happy hanging out at home while you run errands, making him the perfect mix of an affectionate cuddler and a watchful guardian. He barks when he hears people outside, making him a natural protector of his home! 🏡 Max is looking for a loving, quiet home where he can grow and thrive, ideally with a big yard where he can safely explore and play. He’s already neutered, healthy, and ready for love! 💕 But remember, the journey to Max’s confidence will require patience and kindness. His adoption fee is $250, covering his spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip! So, why not take a leap of faith and turn your love to the MAX? 🥳 Apply to adopt Max through the Buddy App today!
