My story

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



Meet Max — a gentle, soulful 8-year-old who’s looking for a soft place to land.

This sweet, 77-pound teddy bear has the kindest eyes and the calmest heart. Max is neutered, easy on leash, and loves nothing more than quiet walks, gentle pets, and being brushed while leaning into you for affection.

His previous owner shared that he was housebroken, and with a little encouragement and consistency, Max should be able to relearn quickly.

He’s social with other dogs and would love to meet yours to see if it’s a match. Despite his age, Max still enjoys playtime and has a lighthearted side that shines through once he feels comfortable — a sweet reminder that there’s still plenty of life and joy in him.
Max may be a senior, but he still has so much love to give. He’s the kind of dog who will be your shadow, your comfort, your best friend.

If you’ve got room in your heart and home for a truly special boy, come meet Max. He’s ready to spend his golden years by your side.
