About Max

Meet Max, a spirited Golden Retriever full of life at just a year and a half. This playful boy brings joy wherever he goes, most notably when he's romping around with his favorite toys. Max thrives in an active environment and needs a family ready to engage him physically and mentally. While he enjoys spending time outdoors, he does show hesitance around new experiences indoors. Max is crate trained, though his energy levels can be overwhelming for very young children. Ideally, he should be in a home with older kids who can keep up with his playful nature. Socialization and consistent training will be vital for him to grow into his best self. He was surrendered by a family who couldn't provide the attention he needed, often spending too much time in a crate. Max is up-to-date on his vaccinations, already neutered, and microchipped. He’s looking for a loving, dedicated family who understands his high-energy requirements. If you think you can keep up with him, consider applying to adopt this charming boy today!
