My story

CA-CHOW! I’m Lightning McQueen, and I’m hoping you’ll be my Mater (that’s like Ta-mater, without the ta). It took me a little bit to get cozy here, but now that my hair is growing back and I’ve made lots of friends, I’m busting out of my shell. I’m positive I could win every Piston Cup with my epic zoomies, and I’ll race directly into your lap and give you my award-winning kisses. I have been learning to take the paw off the gas and settle down, and I’m learning lots of neat tricks like sit and paw, as well as being perfectly housebroken. I’ve also really enjoyed my time with other dogs, and my pup pals taught me that kiddie pools are fun to splash in. I would make every day a party, and I can’t wait to party with you! Ask to meet me!

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