My story

Aussie Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic - ARMA Double the Dogs, Double the Love: Meet Cowboy and Max ARMA is excited to accept applications for Cowboy and Max. If you are an approved ARMA adopter, please contact the volunteer with whom you are working. If you would like to be approved for this handsome pair of Aussies, our adoption application can be found on our website -- https://aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org/ Currently in Edgewater, Maryland, the two handsome seven-year-old brothers are waiting for their next chapter. Cowboy and Max have spent their entire lives together, and their bond is clear the moment you meet them. These 53-pound littermates are neutered, vaccinated, on preventatives, and hoping to find a family willing to welcome them both. They are a bonded pair and will be adopted together. Cowboy is the stunning blue merle and a total cuddle bug. He can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and is incredibly sweet. Once he trusts you, he just wants to be close and soak up affection. He takes treats very gently and has such a soft, kind personality. Cowboy does have a manageable eye condition called episcleritis, which simply requires eye drops twice a day to keep him comfortable. Max is the classic tri-color and brings the enthusiasm. Ball is life for Max. He will happily play fetch until your arm gives out and proudly carries his favorite ball everywhere like a prized possession. He loves meeting people, leans right in for pets, and is always ready for a belly rub. Like his brother, he’s very polite taking treats. Together, Cowboy and Max are an easy, lovable pair. They walk nicely on leash, travel well in the car, and are comfortable in a crate. They are good with other dogs and even fine with cats. They may need a little refresher on house training, but with patience, routine, and love, these boys will figure it out quickly. Cowboy and Max have spent their whole lives side by side, and we will ensure they stay that way. Because they are bonded, Cowboy and Max will be adopted together.

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.
