About Max

Max is a sweet little boy eager to find his forever home. Having spent much of his life in a crate, he still needs to learn social skills and basic obedience. With time and patience, he has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. A fenced-in yard and another Sheltie would be ideal for him, helping him learn how to truly be a pet. At just 2 years old, Max is set to thrive in a loving environment where he can receive the attention and training he deserves. He does well with cats and gets along with other dogs but may not be the best fit for homes with young children. His medium coat will require regular grooming, and he's already house trained too. Max is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to bring joy to his new family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
