You will love Max to the MAX! He is a uniquely handsome and oh-so-soft soft boy! He loves people, his tail is always wagging upon approach, and he expects pets from everyone. He IS quite irresistable, so his fosters regularly indulge him! His foster calls him "a sweetie" who really loves belly rubs. Max is housebroken, and he knows basic commands, like, "sit" and "paw." The fosters are currently working on the "stay" and "down" commands. Max does listen when corrected, he knows his name, and he will come when called. Max is good on leash, and although he is large, he is easy to walk. He always excited to get out into the neighborhood to see the world around him. Max is still young, just over one-year old, so he is quite energetic, "not crazy, but enthusiastic," is how his foster describes his energy level. Max will need a fence at his new home as he is tall and he can jump quite high, so a six-foot-tall fence would be necessary. Max is great with other dogs, enjoys a parallel run or a game of chase, and he reads social cues well. Max does well in the car, he jumps in readily, and loves to have the windows down so he can smell the fresh air. "A teenager" is how Max's foster describes him, meaning that he is still learning his boundaries, but is very steerable (and with a treat or two) will pick up commands and rules very quickly. Right now, Max sleeps next to his foster's bed, with baby gates to keep him secure. He does not like the crate and is overcoming some separation anxiety. We don't know much about his history, so we trust that once he feels safe and secure, his anxiety will ease. Max will make a wonderful playmate and snuggle buddy, backyard ball-chaser, and loyal companion for his forever person! (Check out the videos below to see Max in action!)
