My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Max is a happy, affectionate dog who truly thrives on human companionship. He’s incredibly loyal and loves being close to his people, whether that means following you around the house or settling in for some quality cuddle time. He’s smart, food-motivated, and eager to learn! Max has lots of energy and enthusiasm, especially when out and about, and would do well with an active family that can help channel his zest in positive ways.
When Max first arrived, he was a little worse for wear, but his fur has been growing in beautifully and he’s clearly feeling happier and more confident each day. He’s ready to leave shelter life behind and become someone’s devoted companion.
If you’re looking for a loving, people-oriented dog with a big heart, Max may be the perfect match!
IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOME
SIZE: 59 lbs. and still growing
HOME TYPE: House or Townhouse. Max can be vocal at times. He would do best in a home without shared walls.
CHILDREN: Yes - Mid-aged children who have lived with a large dog are potentially compatible. He is a large, high-energy dog that can be mouthy and jumpy once comfortable.
CATS & SMALL ANIMALS: Yes - Potentially compatible with slow/proper introduction.
OTHER DOGS: Yes- Dogs potentially compatible.
ACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL: High; will need a lot of daily exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation.
HUMAN COMPATIBILTY: First time dog owner possible, provided they are willing to work on difficult behaviours such as possible separation anxiety.
TRAINING REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS: At least 3 in-person training session to work on socialization, basic training, manners and possible separation anxiety.
HUMAN SOCIAL IN SHELTER: Very human social. He is so friendly once comfortable!
FAVOURITE THINGS: He is very food motivated!
FOSTER AND FIELD TRIP INSIDER INFO: (please note that dogs may behave different in foster`s care than adopter`s care and the following cannot be guaranteed)
HOUSE TRAINING: If you exclude the first week, Max has had no bathroom incidents inside the home. He does ask to go out at the back door. I`ve left him alone outside of the crate in the house for upwards of 6 hours and he did great. He rarely counter surfs, but I have caught him a few times so leaving food on the countertop is not recommended.
CAR MANNERS: Max likes to stick his nose out the window or lie down. H

Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
