About Max

Max is an 8-year-old male Yellow Labrador Retriever who is ready for a new home after being left behind with his friends Marley and Mable. He has a friendly nature but tends to be a bit skittish at first. Having lived with children and other dogs, he has shown he can get along well with most canines he's met since arriving at the shelter. However, he hasn't been around cats. Settling into shelter life has been challenging for Max, so he's looking for a patient adopter who can help him adjust. He enjoys his meals, is making progress with leash training, and tries to keep his kennel tidy. As an altered dog, Max is also up to date on vaccinations. He deserves a loving home where he can thrive and feel secure. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
