Meet Max, a 9-year-old Great Dane mix who’s ready for a calm, devoted new home. Neutered and current on vaccines, Max is a gentle giant who loves kids, gets along with other dogs, and thrives on close companionship. He’s relaxed, affectionate, and happiest when shadowing his person. Max knows his basics: “sit,” “stay,” “up,” and is easy to handle on leash and in the car. He enjoys peaceful walks and downtime just as much. After recently losing both his canine companion and his owner, Max needs a steady, supportive environment. He does best when someone is home most of the day; his anxiety surfaces when left alone. Max seems to favor women and hopes for a female owner—bonus if there’s a calm female Dane around, too. If you want a big-hearted, easygoing shadow who will stick by your side, Max could be your match. Your new best friend is just one click away.
