Meet Max. This exuberant and loveable boy is a lot of fun! Max was surrendered to the shelter after his family found out they weren’t allowed to have dogs where they were living. Max is in his adolescent years, which means he has the energy to burn and things to learn. Max is a happy-go-lucky guy who is excited to meet new people and other dogs. He plays rough, jumps and uses his mouth to play, making him ideal for a family with teenagers or older. Max knows his basic commands, but needs some help with leash manners and impulse control. This active boy would be great for a family who is outdoorsy and likes to hike or jog. Max also has a sweet and sensitive side making him a great snuggler and kisser. If you would like to make an appointment to meet him, please contact the shelter. for surrendering a pet remains the same. All pet • SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS: All scheduled appointments will be honored. If you have a scheduled appointment, we will be contacting you to discuss changes to our drop off/pick up procedures.
