About Maximus

Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet Maximus, a striking gentleman who found himself at the shelter following a tussle with another dog in his previous home. During the incident, his owner was accidentally bitten while intervening, but here at the shelter, Maximus has displayed nothing but friendliness toward people, showing no aggressive behavior around humans. In the kennel, though, he gets quite anxious and excitable when other dogs are nearby. Maximus is housebroken and crate trained, offering an easy transition to his new family. Due to his history, he's looking for a home where he can be the only animal. While he enjoyed the company of children in his last home, he cannot be placed in a household with kids because of the bite history. Maximus has a genuine love for stuffed toys and happily brings them to you for a game of toss. If you are searching for a lovable, low-riding companion, Maximus could be your perfect match. Adoption is the new adventure! Ready to roll?
