PLEASE READ FULLY BEFORE INQUIRING – WE RESPOND FIRST TO THOSE WHO PUT IN AN ADOPTION APPLICATION MAX IS CURRENTLY FOSTERED NEAR WATERLOO, IOWA. Max came to us after an Oklahoma foster reached out for help finding him a forever home. She had been caring for him but wanted to ensure he had the best chance at a permanent placement while she continued helping more dogs in need. Max is an approximately 2-year-old Heeler mix who is a sensitive, shy boy learning that the world can be safe. He prefers to take things at his own pace and feels most comfortable in calm environments. Max enjoys hard chew toys and soft blankets and does well on leash. He is crate trained and mostly potty trained. He can be nervous with quick movements or loud noises, but responds well to gentle voices and calm reassurance. He appears to bond most closely with women but continues to build confidence with positive interactions. Max would do best in a quieter home, likely with older children who understand giving him space while he adjusts. Max is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, on monthly preventative, dewormed, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400. If you’re interested in giving Max the patient, understanding home he needs, please complete our adoption application linked below. Thank you for considering this sweet pup.
