Max

My story

Meet Max — The Puppy-Hearted Goofball Ready for His Happily Ever After! Max may be 18 months old, but don’t let that fool you — he’s still very much a puppy at heart! Weighing in at just 17 lbs, this silly, high-energy boy is making up for the carefree puppyhood he missed. Max is full of zest for life, and everything is a game, a toy, or a chance to bounce around with joy. He’s dog door potty trained, loves to play, and thrives with another playful pup by his side — which is why we’re ideally looking for a home with a second dog. Max has also become best buddies with another Underdog foster, and they’re available for adoption together if you're looking for a fun, bonded pair! Max needs a securely fenced yard where he can run, explore, and burn off his happy zoomies. He would be a great match for a dog-savvy family who understands the needs of an active, still-developing young dog. Max will do best with a family committed to: Providing mental and physical stimulation Ongoing socialization Structured training and routine Lots of playtime, belly rubs, and snuggles He’s sweet, joyful, and eager to be someone’s sidekick — all he needs is the right home to help him continue learning, growing, and thriving. If you’re ready for a lovable pup who brings energy, laughs, and loyalty to your life, Max might just be your perfect match. Bonus points if you have a dog already or are open to a dynamic duo!
