My story

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

Hi! I’m Max — professional Good Boy, snack enthusiast, and very large senior gentleman.

I’m a 10-year-old Lab-ish mix, but don’t let my age (or my photos ??) fool you — I am MUCH bigger in real life. Like, “surprise, I take up most of the couch” bigger. You’ve been warned.

I spent my whole life with one family who loved me very much. Sadly, just like me, they aged too, and they weren’t able to care for me anymore. So here I am, starting a fresh new chapter in my golden years. Don’t worry though — my tail is still wagging and my spirit is still very much alive.

I am a foodie through and through. Treats? Yes. Snacks? Absolutely. Meals? My favorite hobby. I will work very hard for food and proudly show you my best manners (and maybe a sit or two) in exchange for goodies.

I`d prefer to be the only dog in the home since I am getting old and a bit cranky with them. I generally ignore them and pretend that the don`t exist unless they are pushy, then I become a grumpy old man! I have lived with another dog before (look for Willow on the site) and we got along really well. But she`s a senior like me and pretty chill herself. So if you have the exact right fit, I could consider it.

Despite being a super senior, I’ve got LOTS of spunk left. I’m still medium energy, love going for long walkies, and enjoy a good play session. After that? I transform into a world-class couch potato. Balance is important.

What I’m looking for:

A somewhat active human who enjoys lots of walks

A soft, orthopedic bed (my joints say thank you)

Someone who appreciates a sweet, goofy, bubbly old guy

Bonus points if you’re generous with treats

I’m kind, affectionate, and ready to be your big, lovable shadow. If you’ve been waiting for a giant-hearted senior who still knows how to have fun, I might just be your Max ????
