About Maxx

Meet Maxx, a striking and lively young dog embodying the intelligence and independent spirit of his Alaskan Malamute roots, albeit in a less-fluffy form. At one year old and weighing around 98 pounds, he’s ready to bring his loyal and playful essence to a forever home. Maxx showcases a wonderful personality. He enjoys plush toys, loves squeaky sounds, admires his reflection, and is a bit of a basketball enthusiast. While he values his autonomy, Maxx is always at the ready to help out—even if it means ringing the doorbell or pushing doors open to assist with groceries. His warm, cuddly greetings when his people return are hard to beat. Thanks to a nurturing foster family, Maxx is house-trained and crate-trained, choosing to sleep in his crate even with the door open. He knows basic commands like 'sit' and 'stop,' and while he enjoys his walks, he would thrive with a confident owner to continue refining his leash manners. He has been good with older kids and shows a playful curiosity towards other dogs while out. Maxx is in search of an active and patient family who can offer him both love and the structured environment he needs to flourish. If you're ready for a devoted and fantastic companion, inquire about Maxx today! He is currently in Houston, TX, and can be transported to most states for a fee. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
