Max is also great with other dogs and seems to really enjoy their company, making him a wonderful addition to a multi-dog household.Max is still a young pup and learning about the world, but his gentle and cheerful nature shines through in everything he does.

Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog’s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with time and a gentle approach, most of these dogs adapt quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is incredibly rewarding. To learn more about our dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website.
