My story

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

Meet Max — the sweetest little soul with the softest heart!
Almost 4 months old, Max is that perfect mix of mellow cuddles and playful puppy energy. He slips right into family life like he’s always belonged there.
This handsome boy is already fully crate trained and has zero accidents in his crate — a true little gentleman! He loves snuggling, adores his toys, and is happiest when he’s close to his people.
Max gets along beautifully with dogs of all ages and is wonderfully gentle with his 4-year-old human foster sibling. For such a young pup, he’s incredibly loving, patient, and easy to handle.
He’s currently about 75% potty trained, and thanks to the doggie door, he improves every single day. Smart, eager to learn, and very food-motivated, Max will make training an absolute breeze.
If you’re looking for a sweet, steady, family-friendly puppy who’s equal parts cuddle buddy and playmate, Max is your boy. He’s ready to bring joy, warmth, and lots of love into his forever home. 🐾💙

If you're interested in meeting Max, please fill out our adoption application, available at: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HHRC/Dog and we will get back to you within 72 hours. (Please do NOT submit an inquiry via Adoptapet - we are not able to view or respond to such inquiries.) If you have any issues filling out the application, please email us at admin@househipporescue.org and we can email you a copy.
