Story
Meet Max Milly (ACCT-A-254696)! This happy guy is the definition of a social butterfly. Max has a heart of gold and has spent the last four years living in a bustling home where he got along with absolutely everyone—adults, kids of all ages (from babies to teens), other dogs, and even cats! He is looking for a new family only because of a change in his previous owner's lease agreement, so he is ready to bring his friendly spirit to a brand-new home.
Max is a high-energy athlete who loves to stay active. Whether it’s playing a spirited game of fetch, tug-of-war, or going for a long jog, he is always up for an adventure. He especially loves having a yard where he can run around and play with his friends. Don't let his energy fool you, though—he also loves a good bath and being petted. He is a very sweet boy who leans into you for attention and loves head rubs.
When it comes to his manners, Max is already a step ahead! He is fully housebroken and knows his name as well as commands like "Sit" and "Down." He walks well on a leash, though he can get a little excited and pull a bit when he is ready to explore. He is also a very polite greeter; he’s been known to show off a "helicopter tail" when meeting new dog friends!
If you are looking for a friendly, social, and active companion who is already a pro at living with kids and other pets, Max Milly might be your perfect match. Come meet this sweet boy today!
