My name is Max!

Meet Max, our 99-pound gentle giant with a heart just as big as his frame. Estimated to be around 7 years old, Max is completely blind, though he seems to pick up on shadows and light. What he may lack in sight, he more than makes up for in confidence and trust. He walks forward boldly, sometimes with such determination that you’d swear he meant to bump into whatever was in front of him. That’s just Max choosing bravery every single day.

When he first came to us, he was understandably unsure of new voices and unfamiliar spaces. It didn’t take long, though, for him to start leaning into kindness. Now, if you talk to him, he’ll tilt his head and soak in every word. Head scratches are his absolute favorite, and once he knows you’re his person, he trusts you completely. Max is proof that resilience can be quiet, steady, and incredibly sweet.
