About Max

Max is an athletic dog seeking a family that loves outdoor adventures. At just 16 months old and 32 pounds, he thrives on long walks, hikes, and games of tug and fetch, but when it’s time to wind down, he’s all about affection—ready to snuggle in your lap. While he might be a bit shy initially, he has a warm spirit and loves being around people. Max, with his short coat in white and brown coloring, is crate-trained and can handle a few hours alone but prefers human companionship. He’s still mastering leash manners and can be startled by loud noises, though he has improved greatly in his foster home. His ideal family will be active but understanding, especially if there are kids—older teens and adults are the best fit due to his energy. Fitting in well with cats, Max could get along with a calm, playful female dog of similar size. An experienced owner is key to helping him learn boundaries as he’s eager to please. If you're ready to guide Max into becoming your loyal companion, he’ll reward you with love and devotion. Your new best friend is just one click away.
