Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Maxson, is a big boy at 50lbs and a major cuddle bug. He is a Velcro pup for sure and loves the zoomies. At 3yo he has all that puppy energy. He loves to play keep away and chase around the yard. He will fetch but would rather not bring it back. He loves napping at your feet.
He takes a min to get used to new people so he does make some noise on introductions. He is being muzzle trained and showing great progress in this area.
Max makes friends with every dog he meets, no matter the size or breed. He is not familiar with cats but would probably warm up to them. He is a gentle player and not possessive over toys or food. He loves treats but not the vet.
Because of his size can be a bit clumsy when he gets excited. He will sit in your lap, lay next to you or even on top of you if you really need a hug. He is a very sweet boy that may need some additional training on meeting new people but is a quick study.
He will sit, lay down, give paw and is learning place and recall. He is great at the dog park and interacts well with others. He really likes napping. He would do okay in an apartment with a park or going to the park on the weekends with an active owner but he really enjoys having a yard. Would be best with adults but may be okay with children that are comfortable with large dogs.
Maxson is up to date on vaccines, on prevention, neutered and microchipped. If he sounds like a great fit for your family, please fill out our application:
