My story

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

Max is an exceptionally friendly dog with a heart of gold. Despite his young age, he exhibits a gentle and affectionate nature towards everyone he meets. He thrives on human companionship and loves nothing more than cuddling up with his favorite humans. Max has an innate sense of loyalty and is eager to please, making him a joy to have around.

Activity Level:
Max has a moderate activity level and enjoys both outdoor adventures and indoor relaxation. He would be a great companion for walks, hikes, and playtime in the yard. However, he's also content to curl up on the couch with his family for some quality downtime.

Training:
Max is a smart pup who is eager to learn and please his humans. While he may not have received formal training in the past, he is responsive and shows great potential for obedience training. With positive reinforcement and consistency, Max is sure to excel in basic commands and even some fun tricks.

Ideal Home:
Max would thrive in a loving and active household that can provide him with the attention and companionship he craves. A family with children or other pets would be ideal, as Max enjoys the company of both. A fenced yard would allow him to safely explore and play, but he would also do well in an apartment or urban environment with regular walks and exercise opportunities.

Max is an adorable and affectionate pup with a heartwarming personality. His friendly demeanor and loving nature make him an ideal companion for individuals or families looking to add a furry friend to their lives. With his charming personality and eagerness to please, Max is sure to bring joy and laughter to his forever home.

If interested, please call the shelter at 231-861-5395 and leave a message to be placed on this dog's adoption list. No obligation, but it reserves your place in line on the list. The shelter will contact individuals as they appear on the list.

Ask about adoption transportation assistance if you do not live in the local area.

The adoption fee is $95 and you receive certificates for $50 towards spay/neuter and $10 towards rabies vaccine if not already done. All dogs are heartworm tested, receive a DHLPP, flea and tick treatment, a bordetella vaccination and are dewormed.
