Meet Max! Max was rescued from a dog-slaughterhouse in Korea, with 20 other littermates and cohort puppies. Some of the other puppies became 100-lb biggies, but Max is done growing at around 77 lbs! Max is love and food-motivated, smart, and curious. He is house trained, great in the car, and knows how to use the doggie door. He has lived with cats and dogs, and loves to play.
We don’t know exactly what Max’s early life was like, but he experienced some trauma. As a result, he can sometimes be cautious of new situations. With a little time—about a week in his new home—Max starts to feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Max’s true nature is sweet, loving, and goofy. He can be an excellent couch cuddler and walks right beside you in hikes or around a neighborhood!
With a little patience for Max to adjust, one will find Max is an intelligent protector for his beloved caregiver, and is a little silly. His ideal person is someone who will continue his socialization, preferably someone with a yard, or at least a patio where Max can potty for the first week until he has adjusted.
We are looking for a home that understands the responsibilities of owning and raising a dog. Max will thrive in a home that will give him the time he needs to open up and continue training and showing him what it means to be in a home. Max is patiently waiting!
