Max is about 2 years old and around 20 lbs — truly 20 pounds of pure love with the gentlest soul. He’s the kind of dog who melts into your life with quiet devotion. Max wants nothing more than to be close to his person, share moments, and simply be part of your day.
He absolutely lights up when volunteers arrive at the shelter — to him, that means a walk, fresh air, and attention from the people he adores. And during quieter moments, when caregivers sit down for lunch or take a short break, Max curls up right beside them, perfectly content just to be near someone. He’s affectionate without being demanding, and he gives his heart easily to those who show him kindness.
Despite being abandoned by his previous owners, Max has never lost his love or faith in humans. He is a true companion — steady, gentle, and deeply loyal. Because of his easygoing personality, he could fit beautifully into many types of households, from a quiet apartment to a family home with other pets.
Max’s story is heartbreaking but hopeful. When his owners moved away and left him behind in the backyard, a concerned neighbor contacted the shelter we support. They rushed to bring him to safety, knowing he wouldn’t survive on the streets. Since then, Max has been patiently waiting for someone to give him the safety and affection he deserves.
Max has the chance to travel to New York in December — but only if he has a foster, foster-to-adopt, or adopter ready to welcome him. He’s so ready to trade shelter life for cozy naps, long walks, and the warmth of a loving home.
