Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Maxx needs to find a new home due to a change in his family's situation. He is 3 years old, good with other dogs and most people but he has not been exposed to young children. Maxx has been eating natural dog food, has a healthy coat and weighs about 75 pounds. He is very affectionate, high energy, and needs regular exercise to stay happy. Maxx loves to play fetch with his ball. He has had basic training and a little bit of protection training so care will need to be taken in choosing a new home for him. He was a big baby at home but if the doorbell rang or someone tried to come into the house, he defended it. Maxx needs to find a home with someone who is experienced, confident and has affection but still rules, otherwise he will run the household, which could be a dangerous scenario. Like most dogs with protection training, he will react well to people he meets that do not demonstrate anxiety towards him. Maxx has not been exposed to cats, but does run after squirrels if he spots them. He is excellent health but does have a slightly low thyroid, which is easily and inexpensively managed with a daily pill.
