🐾 Meet Max! The Ultimate Scruffy Sidekick 🐾 Status: Available for Adoption or Foster-to-Adopt Age: ~1 Year Old Weight: 25 lbs (The perfect "medium-small" size!) Breed Guess: Terrier / Collie Mix (100% Certified Cutie) Look at that face! Max is a one-year-old bundle of scruffy charm who is looking for his forever home—or a foster-to-adopt family to help him start his next chapter. At a sturdy but compact 25 pounds, Max is the ultimate "portable" companion. He has the gorgeous, expressive eyes and handsome markings of a collie, wrapped up in a perfect, low-maintenance terrier coat. He’s big enough for outdoor adventures, but small enough to curl up perfectly right next to you on the couch. ✨ Why We Love Max: The Ultimate Scruff-Factor: With his beautiful tri-color coat, expressive eyebrows, and adorable little beard, Max is a total head-turner. Bright & Eager to Please: With a terrier/collie background, this boy has the brains to match his beauty! At just around a year old, he is at the perfect age to learn new routines and commands quickly. The Perfect Size: He’s an ideal fit for an active household, whether you live in an apartment, a townhouse, or a house with a yard. 🏡 What Max is Looking For: Max is ready to find a family who will give him a little time to settle in, teach him the ropes of being a cherished family pet, and supply him with endless belly rubs. Because he is young, smart, and active, he will thrive with a family ready to share daily walks, fun puzzle toys, and plenty of playtime. Whether you are looking to adopt your next best friend or want to open your heart to a foster-to-adopt arrangement to ensure he’s the perfect match for your home, Max is waiting to meet you!
