Story
Meet Max – Your Next Adventure Buddy and Snuggle Pro
Looking for a dog who’s equal parts goofball, cuddle bug, and loyal companion? Meet Max, a 4-year-old neutered male with a heart of gold and a wagging tail that never quits. Weighing in at a lean 40 pounds, Max loves attention! He may look small on pictures, but he is as long as a retriever but has short legs.
Max is the kind of dog who just wants to be where his people are. Whether it's snuggling on the couch, handing out kisses, or following you from room to room, he's happiest when he's close to those he loves. He’s playful, social, and especially fond of games like tug-of-war, which he’ll proudly win (or let you win, if he's feeling generous).
What Max Loves:
Long walks and outdoor adventures
Playing with other dogs (he’s a social butterfly!)
Toys, treats, and training time
Being part of a family and showered with love
What Max does not like:
Going to the doctor
Groomers
Max has done wonderfully in his foster home, which includes both toddlers and older kids. He adores kids but should be supervised around the little ones — sometimes he forgets he’s not a tiny lap dog! He’s also perfectly content as a solo pet, as long as you’re ready to give him plenty of love, attention, and playtime.
Max is smart, eager to please, and highly motivated by both treats and praise. He’s learned basic commands, does well with pottying outside and on pads, and is a great candidate for learning a doggie door. He's still working on keeping all four paws on the ground — he gets excited and jumps on people — but with firm, positive reinforcement, he's made progress.
What Max Needs:
A loving home with someone who’s ready to invest time in consistent training and daily exercise. He does great being left alone during the workday, especially if he’s had a walk or has a furry friend to hang out with.
Max is more than ready to find his forever home — could it be with you? If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who’ll keep you smiling for years to come, Max might just be your perfect match.
