About Maximus

Maximus has a noble presence that commands attention. This gentle giant is a fluffy adolescent, likely a retriever mix, with a heart as big as his size. At about a year old, he’s still learning how to navigate the world, so a dedicated owner ready to help him grow and train is essential. Initially reserved, he warms up quickly and becomes a loving companion. His foster mom describes him as kind and eager to learn. Maximus is progressing with crate training and has basic leash skills, showing a genuine desire to be your best friend. He gets along well with dogs of all shapes and sizes and is curious but non-reactive around cats and other animals. Once comfortable, he enjoys cuddles and playful moments, though his enthusiasm means he might be better suited to homes without small children. It’s worth noting that he’s still adjusting to home life and is a bit unsure of slippery floors. To welcome this wonderful soul into your life, please apply today!
