My story

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

Meet Max!

A 6 year old charming and affectionate mixed-breed canine hailing from Deer Park, TX. With his goofy antics, sweet demeanor, and unwavering loyalty, Max is sure to win over any heart he encounters! This high-energy pup thrives on playtime, especially when it involves a spirited game of tug-of-war. His playful nature makes him the perfect constant companion, always ready to join in on the fun and bring a smile to your face!

Despite his lovable qualities, Max can be a bit stubborn at times, but his endearing personality more than makes up for it. He's crate-trained and understands the importance of boundaries, though he prefers the freedom of a fenced-in yard to romp around in.

Max's health and well-being are a top priority, with his vaccinations up to date and being neutered. He's also mastered the art of house training, making him an ideal addition to any household!

However, Max does have his quirks and sensitivities. He becomes nervous during thunderstorms and fireworks, seeking comfort and reassurance during these times. Additionally, he exhibits resource-guarding behavior, which has led to a couple of unfortunate incidents where he bit his caregiver, requiring medical attention. These episodes highlight the importance of understanding Max's needs and providing him with the patience and support he requires.

Max has had disagreements with other pets in the household, indicating that he may thrive best as the sole fur child. This aspect of his personality underscores the significance of finding the right environment where he can feel safe and secure.

As Max embarks on this new chapter in his life, he does so with optimism and hope. With the right guidance, structure, and understanding, he can fully embrace his loving and goofy nature without the stressors that have led to his previous behavior. Max is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to find a forever home where he can be cherished for the wonderful companion he is!

To make sure that Max has a great start with his new family, we have a canine behaviorist available for a free consultation.
