About Max

Max is a lively young male mixed-breed dog who’s ready to make your home his playground. His enthusiasm for treats and gentle nature means he enjoys bonding with kids. Max also loves to romp around with other dogs and would thrive with a playful companion who can match his energy levels. He's still perfecting some of his basic training, particularly with crate comfort. While he’s not a fan of the crate just yet, with support from his new family, he’s eager to overcome this challenge. All pets are microchipped, vaccinated, and will be altered before adoption. If you want to meet Max, visit the shelter during open hours.
