Dr. Pepper Max is gradually learning that he can trust the world around him. When he first joined the rescue, he was frightened, flinching at sudden movements and trying to hide. With time and gentle care, he’s starting to show his true self. Max enjoys leaning into pets and has even begun to follow his person around, often dozing off during cuddles. This sensitive soul thrives in a calm, low-traffic home where he can feel safe. He requires a fenced yard and someone who’s home frequently to help him settle. Max is very gentle and gets along with both dogs and cats once they’ve gained his trust. He’s well potty trained and may be low energy, but he’s still figuring everything out. If you're willing to take it slow and help him build confidence, you’ll find a deeply affectionate companion in Max. Let’s give him the home he deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
