Max

My story

Max is an approximately 2-year-old, neutered male. He weighs in at 40 pounds and is long with short legs. Max loves to cuddle and give kisses. He’s a family-friendly pet who loves to be the center of attention. He enjoys long walks and playing with his toys. Max is a dog who enjoys the company of and playing with other dogs. He would also be okay with being the only dog of the house, provided he gets lots of love and attention. While being in his foster family’s care, he has learned basic commands, learned how to go potty outside as well as on pads, but is still a little rough around the edges. He could easily be trained to use a doggie door. He has lots of energy and is still working on eliminating his desire to jump on humans. He is very treat and attention motivated and is easy to train overall, he just needs consistent and firm reinforcement. He was fostered with a family that included toddlers and older children, both of which he does well with. Max is a dog requiring supervision if he’s around smaller children. Although very friendly, he sometimes forgets his size when playing with toys and young children. His favorite game to play with other dogs and humans alike is, “tug of war,” and he is quite good at it! Max is a fun-loving, empathetic, and cheeky younger dog, with many years left to love and play. He requires a person or family with lots of love to give, time for walks, and firm & positive training. As long as he’s exercised, he can be left alone during the day for his person/family to work and return home. In his foster family, he has been left alone with his other dog friends for the duration of a workday. As long as he has his walk, or has friends to play with, he is a happy camper.
