My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ABOUT ME: Hello I am Max. I am a pretty cool dude who is all about playing and chilling out. I know several commands, like sit and shake. I can even catch a treat in mid-air! I walk well on a leash and I've been told I'm housetrained- I'm not sure what that means, but I heard it's impressive! Don't want to forget that I have the perfect "Blue Steel" pose!

Foster Testimonial: "Max did great. He ate and drank fine, and did well inside my home with both my boyfriend and I, and did not have any accidents. He was a good walker. When encountering other dogs, Max seemed curious at times and indifferent at others. However, he did not bark or pull in order to get closer to any furry friends. We took him to a couple coffee shops where he sat outside and waited patiently for a treat or a lick of whip cream. He was pretty low maintenance! "

DOGS: I think I'm all the dog you need in your life, but I'm willing to meet any potential siblings to see if we can be besties.

CATS: I would rather not have a cat best friend.

APPOINTMENT TYPE: Scheduled due to my location. Please fill out the online application to schedule an appointment

We also have Seniors for Seniors - If you are 65 or older and adopt a dog or cat over the age of 7 years, the adoption is free!
