🐾 Meet the lovable, gentle soul, Max! This timid pup has bravely emerged from a hoarding situation, and while he may take some extra time to adjust to the comforts of home life, trust that the journey will be heartwarming for both you and him. ❤️ Max has lived harmoniously with other dogs, but socializing with people is a whole new realm for him. Imagine the joy of seeing him blossom as he learns about the world around him! Now, if you ever dreamed of having a sweet companion who enjoys the simple things in life—like snuggling up with his beloved stuffy toys—Max is your guy! 🧸 His shy demeanor means he’ll likely need a patient and understanding guardian who can help him navigate everyday experiences, like walking on a leash or boldly stepping through doorways. You can imagine the happiness he'll find when he encounters treats and the promise of a meal, opening his curious heart to you! Something to note is that Max would thrive best in a home with kids 6 years and older. 🧒👦 Due to his nervousness around new folks and loud noises, a calm environment where he can slowly build his confidence will be the key. If you have kiddos between the ages of 6-9, Wayside Waifs would love for you to bring them along for a meet and greet—after all, we want to ensure they’ll be BFFs! Last but not least, Wayside Waifs suggests bringing in any furry friends for a meeting before adopting Max, ensuring they can indeed become buddies. Your patience, love, and understanding will be immensely rewarding as you watch this lovely boy flourish!
