About Max

Max is currently located in Texas and is ready for his forever home! This 3.5-year-old neutered male is a Retriever mix weighing around 35 pounds. Rescued from the streets after being abandoned by his previous owner, Max has captured the hearts of his foster family in San Antonio. A playful and affectionate boy, Max loves being active and has a big personality. He thrives with his people and has a delightful habit of seeking cuddles, happily plopping himself right on top of you for a nap. While he is social and interactive, Max prefers a slow introduction to other dogs, excelling in playgroups once comfortable. He gets along great with his foster family's 11-year-old child and displays a gentle demeanor with kids. Max is also cat-friendly, showing no prey drive and respecting their boundaries. As an active dog, he enjoys long walks and playtime, and with a little training, he's capable of learning fun tricks. House-trained and non-destructive, Max can be left alone but still needs guidance on leash manners and jumping when excited. He is a lovable companion ready to become part of an active family that can offer him plenty of love and adventures! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
