About Max

Meet Max! This gentle giant came into a shelter in Alabama, and our partners contacted us to help him find a loving home in Maine—of course, we said yes. Estimated to be around 5 years old, Max shows signs of having been cherished at one point in his life, but he has faced neglect in recent years. Weighing about 85 lbs, he is the perfect embodiment of a big, fluffy companion. Max is likely house trained, as he waits patiently to go outside, although some settling-in accidents are always possible. He walks well on a leash and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making friends wherever he goes. His loving nature shines through as he greets everyone at the shelter with affection and joy. Max knows some basic commands, like sit and spin, showcasing his eagerness to learn and please. Max will be heading to Maine in mid-September. Adopters should consider if they can provide a single-family home with ample space, ideally a fenced yard, as he isn't suited for apartment or city living. Regular grooming and the understanding that larger dogs mean higher food costs are also part of Max's package. Could you be the one to give him a forever home? Ready to meet your new best friend?
