My story

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

Meet Max
7 Years Old
Lab Mixed with Large Breed
90 lbs
Fostered in Boise

Max is a 7-year-old Lab mix with the soul of a couch potato and the heart of a gentle giant. At around 90 pounds, Max is a big boy, not overweight just built large, possibly with a larger breed like a Great Dane in his family tree.
Originally from a shelter in Fort Worth, Texas, Max made the journey to Idaho for a second chance at finding his forever home. He’s already overcome a lot, including successful treatment for heartworm, and is now fully cleared, healthy, and ready for adoption.

Max is incredibly sweet and deeply people-oriented. He lights up when his humans come home, leaning in for snuggles and occasionally attempting a very sneaky (and slightly rude) ear lick when he gets the chance. His favorite place in the world is the couch, where he spends most of his day relaxing and soaking up companionship.

While Max does have an old knee injury, he remains active and enjoys daily walks. He would benefit from continuing pain management, such as carprofen, to keep him comfortable and moving well, something he’s done great with.

Max is dog-friendly in the sense that he coexists beautifully with other dogs, but he’s not looking for a canine best friend. He prefers to mind his own business and do his own thing. If you’re hoping for a dog who will play nonstop with your current pup, Max may not be the right match, but if your dog would enjoy a calm, respectful companion, Max fits that role perfectly.

He is currently fostered with cats and is indifferent to them. He does show some extra interest in chickens, but redirects well with verbal guidance.

Max would thrive in a home that appreciates a mellow, loving presence, a dog who doesn’t ask for much beyond a comfy couch, daily strolls, and people to love. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-drama companion with excellent couch manners and a soft heart, Max might just be your perfect match

Max is being cross posted with Fuzzy Pawz Rescue and Pug Pals Rescue for additional exposure to help with his adoption.

We do not have a facility but depend on the use of foster homes to provide loving temporary homes for the dogs we save. You can meet each pet through it's contact information on it's posting.

More about this rescue

We are a group of animal lovers banded together to rescue unwanted dogs and cats that are in shelters and pounds located throughout Idaho. Our non-profit rescue places each animal into our foster home program while we search for forever homes for them. We supply all vet care, food, toys, bedding; really anything they need while in our care.

We focus on those animals that are considered “hard to adopt” for various reasons; like kennel stress, having a black coat, being over 8 years old, etc. Often a foster home rather than a shelter environment helps give many of these animals a second chance at the life they deserve!

We relay on community donations and individuals willing to be foster care givers in order to continue our work.
