About Maximilian

Maximilian, or Max, wins hearts wherever he goes. He’s used to being the center of attention, drawing a crowd of admirers on walks thanks to his handsome looks and sweet nature. Most of his life was spent outdoors, but he’s made a seamless transition to indoor living, picking up house and crate training quickly, and happily responding when called. Max loves a good nap but is also up for a jog, though he’ll happily flop into cool grass if he needs a break. He’s working on fetch and exploring toys for the first time. Max is still learning some manners like "leave it" and keeping all paws on the floor, so he needs a family prepared to provide guidance. Because of this, a home without young children is best. He’s extremely food motivated—trainable and eager to please given the right support. Max gets along with other dogs and cats, making him a great candidate for a social household. He’s got a soft spot for affection, often nudging your hand for extra scritches, and brings a gentle, teddy bear vibe to those around him. Max is ready for a life where he’s treated like family.
