About Max

Max was born on May 11, 2025, and since then, he’s grown into a playful, affectionate pup who can’t resist a toy or a random stick. He loves kisses, cuddles, and is always thrilled for a car ride. Max is fully house trained, just like his siblings, and thanks to daily human interaction from the start, he’s confident, social, and quick to seek out gentle affection. He’s shown zero food aggression and is used to plenty of hugs and petting. Max gets along well with other dogs, and he does fine with children—but he’s best matched with families whose kids are over 12. Apartments aren’t a fit for him; he needs a home with more space in the San Francisco Bay Area. Adoption includes vaccinations, neutering (with a refundable deposit), and microchipping. What you see is what you get: a well-rounded pup ready for a household that can match his energy and provide structure as he matures. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
