My story

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



Meet Maxwell (Max for short) – CEO of Good Decisions (for Treats)

Maxwell is a friendly, affectionate dog who loves to stay busy and earn his treats! He’s so eager to get moving, he practically leashes himself—no time to waste when there’s exploring to do and snacks to be had. Once he’s out and about, he’s all about enjoying the moment.

Max walks well on a leash and enjoys his outings with a steady pace. Bring along some treats, though—Max is motivated by snacks and will happily work for them!

Max loved the agility course the moment he realized treats were part of the deal. He quickly went from curious to professional, zooming up ramps and diving into tunnels like a seasoned pro discovering a new fun game.

According to his previous owner, Max loved car rides, was well-trained, and had a calm nature at home. He was surrendered simply because his owner could no longer care for him, not due to any behavior issues.

If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and adventure-ready companion with a playful side and a love for learning, Max is ready to win your heart and show you how much fun life can be!

Adoption fees are currently waived! All pets are spay/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped!
