About Maxine

Maxine is a 1-2 year old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix who’s looking for her new crew. She’s a social dog who thrives around other pups—wrestling and playing with her rescue friends is what she loves most. Maxine enjoys toys, has that classic Catahoula curiosity, and approaches new things with an open mind. Cats are an unknown; her temperament might be a match, but no one has tested her with felines yet. She’s fully vaccinated, on Simparica Trio, and will arrive with a negative heartworm test, clean fecal, and a travel health certificate, all handled by her rescue. She’s based in central Arkansas but can catch a ride up to New England on their pet transport. The rescue arranges video meet-and-greets so you can get to know Maxine before deciding. They are happy to walk adopters through every step, including finding a transport stop near you. If you’re looking for a playful, good-natured companion, Maxine might be a great fit. Scorpio sun—she’s likely to be bold and loyal at heart. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
