Max

My story

Max is looking for a committed owner this time around. He was originally adopted from the Mesquite Animal Shelter when he was a young puppy to people that lived in an apartment. Max is a 11 month old 60 pound retriever lab mix that was surrendered to our shelter on 1/28 because he got too big for an apartment. I definitely agree he is too big for an apartment!!!. He would be happy to have a yard so he can go out and play and blow off some steam, but then come in to enjoy being loved on by his new family. He sits for treats and takes them very gently. He does jump on you and would need to be taught not to do this. He also can be somewhat mouthy. The good news is that he wants to please and should be a quick study.. I don’t think he’s been given proper instruction. Also keep in mind he’s still a puppy! He’s very alert, happy, friendly, and playful. He would do well with an active family with older children,. He does have a pretty strong pull on the leash. He appeared to be intimidated by other dogs barking at him, but if you have another dog please ask the shelter for a dog test. The bonus is that Max is already neutered! He’s ready to go home with you.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Max, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
