About Max

Max is a sweet boy who loves to jump into your lap and have fun with rope toys. He began his journey as a stray in Pueblo and briefly shared a home with another dog and a cat. However, Max showed some excitement around the cat, barking and lunging, so he’ll need a slow introduction to any feline friends in his future home. Patience and time will be important for his adjustment, and he may thrive best in a cat-free environment. It's still unclear if Max is potty or crate trained, so potential adopters should keep that in mind. This young, medium-sized fellow is ready to find a loving family that can give him the time he needs to settle in and feel at home. Ready to make Max a part of your family?
