My name is Maximus!

Hi I'm Maximus (Max) and I LOVE life! I am a happy guy and everyone is my friend whether they talk, bark or meow. Ok, the meows kind of scare me so I may avoid them. I'm an Australian Cattle Dog puppy and am about 9-10 months old and 37 pounds, and I am open to lots of guidance and love learning because I'm super smart! I'd love to share life's adventures and lots of snuggles with you and when I'm old enough can even be a running buddy! If you have a fenced in yard then woohoo I love outside play time!

My favorite things are to play with other dogs, play with toys, chew on bones, belly rubs, cuddles and to sleep in the arms of my foster mama! I live with dogs from 35 pounds to 160 pounds, love kids, and as for cats but they scare the dickens out of me...and, although, I'm not sure what the dickens is, you can be I try to ignore them! I'd be super duper happy if you have another dogs to help wear me out as I'm a medium to high energy boy and then settle in with my people! Also, I'm such a good boy when lights go out so do I and sleep through the night! 

I'm potty trained and pretty much crate training.  I'll go in fine but don't really love it so may cry for a few minutes. My foster mom ignores me, so I do eventually quiet down but NO APARTMENTS please ! Also, since I am a puppy I still get so excited I still jump but am working hard on that and try really hard to please!  

My hobby is training/learning and I love working for treats.  I'm really good at "sit" and "down",  and am trying hard to "stay" even though my hiney keeps wiggling with joy. I promise to keep your home full of joy, love and goofiness so please pick me, pick me, pick me (visualize...my paw is currently up in the air)!!!  Apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org
