About Max

Meet Max, a delightful 2-year-old Border Collie mix bursting with personality. He thrives on human connection and previously showed his gentle nature with children during a Paws to Read event. Max craves a strong bond with his new owner and wants to feel like a valued member of the family. He isn’t fond of kennels or crates, so a home that offers companionship and patience would be ideal for him. He’s been slightly reactive around other dogs due to his time in kenneling, so gradual introductions and management are essential until he settles in. Additionally, Max tends to pull on the leash, so he would greatly benefit from some basic obedience training and leash skills. This two-year-old has a lot of love to give and deserves someone ready to make him feel safe and at home. Think you could be the one to bring him joy? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
