Story
Max has the heart of a happy puppy and the social calendar of a kid who hopes every dog he meets is coming over to play. At around six months old, he is playful, affectionate, bright and wonderfully enthusiastic about having a good time. Give him a dog friend who appreciates a little wrestling, a pile of toys and someone willing to pay him in treats for learning new things, and Max is very much in his element.
Go watch Max on YouTube in “Maxed Out on Fun | Meet Max!” and see this playful boy doing what he loves most: making friends, finding the fun and showing off that sweet puppy personality. https://youtu.be/2puAj45K71c
Max is estimated to be around six months old and is likely a Great Pyrenees mix, although rescue breed guesses are always just that- a guess. He doesn't necessarily come with all of the classic Great Pyrenees traits, but he does come with plenty of puppy charm and a growing, clever brain that is ready to learn.
Other dogs are definitely high on Max's list of favorite things. He loves to play and would especially enjoy a home with another playful dog who can appreciate his enthusiastic style. Max likes some good old-fashioned rough-and-tumble play and can get a little vocal when the game gets going, but it is all part of the fun for him. He also loves toys and is happy to share them with a canine friend, making playtime very much a group activity whenever someone else wants in.
With people, Max is affectionate without needing to be attached at the hip. He enjoys attention and connection, but he has a nice bit of independence to him too. He's also great in the car, so when it's time to head somewhere together, he's already got that part figured out.
Max is incredibly treat motivated, smart and eager to learn, which gives his future family a wonderful starting point for training. He is still a young dog, so he will need the continued guidance, structure and practice that come with raising an adolescent pup. Fortunately, Max seems quite happy to participate when snacks are part of the curriculum.
There is something very easy to love about Max. He's a playful young dog who loves his friends, loves his toys and is ready to keep learning how to be the best version of himself. For a family with a playful dog looking for a younger buddy to join the crew, Max could be an especially fun addition.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
